Spring Jersey 2.7：java.lang.ClassNotFoundException：com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet

Question

I am referring to this article

My web.xml looks like

<web-app>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>


    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>InventoryApplication</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>
                com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages
            </param-name>
            <param-value>com.org.me_services.inventory.services</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>InventoryApplication</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

and maven dependencies as

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
            <version>2.7</version>

            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <artifactId>jersey-test-framework</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.3.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

the resource class is

@Component
@Path("/inv")
public class HelloResource {

    @GET
    @Path("/hello")
    public Response hello() {
        System.out.println("REQUEST RECEIVED");
        return Response.accepted().build();

    }
}

I deploy this on Tomcat 7x and see errors as

Put all jars inside the lib folder, don't select external jars from build path, you have to put your all requred jars inside

WebContent\\WEB-INF\\lib
