java.lang.ClassNotFoundException：com.sun.jersey.server.impl.container.servlet.ServletAdaptor

Question

I think I messed something up with my configuration of my jax-rs webservice, but I don't know what causes this error. I am using Eclipse Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) and Maven.

EDIT: I use Tomcat 7.0 and JDK 1.8_65

I tried to resolve this by trying other solutions here on stackoverflow, but either I did not understand what I shall do or the solution did not work. The strange thing is also, that there are many solutions out there for the same problem. What do you think: How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

Is which server used for running this project? Use tomcat 7 and try following dependecies.

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
            <version>1.17.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-servlet</artifactId>
            <version>1.17.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-bundle</artifactId>
            <version>1.19</version>
        </dependency>
