I think one of your headaches may be in using Eclipse to do your builds -- I would recommend opening up a command-line prompt and doing your Maven commands (mvn clean install, mvn tomcat:deploy, etc.) from that and use Eclipse purely as a code editor.

I'm not aware of the Tomcat Maven Plugin downloading a copy of Apache Tomcat (it might, but news to me...). I don't know what the Eclipse IDE would do. Perhaps we're talking two different plugins -- I'm referring to this: http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin.html, not any plugin offered by Eclipse.

HTH,

Thanks.  There's SO much bad information on the Web.
Including Tomcat's own site:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access
which gives the 7.0 role names on the 6.0 page.

However, using the 6.0 names doesn't help either. Still won't let me in. Does the tomcat maven plugin have to use the same version of tomcat as my server? The plugin pulled down 6.0.29. My server is 6.0.20.

There's several REST examples in the free and open source Talend Service
Factory (thin wrapper over CXF) -- the advanced REST example I did a

Although I have the example deploy to an OSGi container, the READMEs for
those examples show how to use Tomcat deployment instead.

The Tomcat-Maven-Plugin works fine, for both Tomcat 6 and 7, here's some
config info for it:

As for a book, Bill Burke's RESTful Java book I learned a lot from:

I've wasted half a day trying to implement the article

"Creating a REST service with CXF and Spring in 10 minutes"
(http://www.insaneprogramming.be/?p=140)

Why is this article recommended on
http://cxf.apache.org/resources-and-articles.html?

There are so many unexplained things in this article, dependencies on
pre-existing system configurations that are not explained.
Dependencies on the tomcat-maven-plugin which seems to be in a state
of flux.

Can anyone recommend anything better? Hell, I'll even buy a book if
there's one available.
