Why javax.ws.rs.Application runs on Tomcat but not TomEE?

[Nick Khamis]

Hello Everyone,

Simple project:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>Jersey</servlet-name>
        
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
                <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
                <param-value>com.example.WineApp</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

public class WineApp extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
        classes.add(WineResource.class);
        return classes;
    }
}

Works perfectly fine in Tomcat 7 but not in TomEE. I was under the
understanding that Tomee subsumes Tomcat? The question arise, am I
closer to 3.0 servlet container with Tomcat or Tomee?


Kind Regards,

Nick
