MessageBodyWriter not found vogella tutorial

I am trying to recreate the most excellent Vogella tutorial for creating REST with java, JAX-RS and Jersey.

I am using eclipse Kepler with Java-EE perspective, tomcat 7.0.

I created Todo class, TodoResource class with appropriate annotations and deployed to tomcat 7. I imported jaxrs-ri libs into WEB-INF / lib folder as instructed.

Todo class:

package com.vogella.jersey.jaxb.model;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement
public class Todo {
  private String summary;
  private String description;
  public String getSummary() {
    return summary;
  }
  public void setSummary(String summary) {
    this.summary = summary;
  }
  public String getDescription() {
    return description;
  }
  public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;
  }


} 

      

        
        
        
      

    

TodoResource with annotations:

package com.vogella.jersey.jaxb.model;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/todo")
public class TodoResource {
  // This method is called if XMLis request
  @GET
  @Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
  public Todo getXML() {
    Todo todo = new Todo();
    todo.setSummary("This is my first todo");
    todo.setDescription("This is my first todo");
    return todo;
  }

  // This can be used to test the integration with the browser
  @GET
  @Produces({ MediaType.TEXT_XML })
  public Todo getHTML() {
    Todo todo = new Todo();
    todo.setSummary("This is my first Todo");
    todo.setDescription("This is my first Todo");
    return todo;
  }

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">

  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

      

        
        
        
      

    

I also created a client following the instructions.

Test.java:

package com.vogella.jersey.first.client;

import java.net.URI;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder;

import org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientConfig;
import org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientResponse;
import org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.MediaTypes;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {



    ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();

    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(config);

    WebTarget target = client.target(getBaseURI());


    System.out.println(target.path("rest").path("todo").request()

            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML ).get(Response.class)

            .toString());

    System.out.println(target.path("rest").path("todo").request()

            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON ).get(Response.class)

            .toString());


  }

  private static URI getBaseURI() {

      return UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost:8080/com.vogella.jersey.jaxb").build();

  }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Everything works fine for MediaType.APPLICATION_XML - server returns:

InboundJaxrsResponse{ClientResponse{method=GET, uri=http://localhost:8080/com.vogella.jersey.jaxb/rest/todo, status=200, reason=OK}}

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, for MediaType, APPLICATION_JSON is what I really need, I get the error:

InboundJaxrsResponse{ClientResponse{method=GET, uri=http://localhost:8080/com.vogella.jersey.jaxb/rest/todo, status=500, reason=Internal Server Error}}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Tomcat clearly shows me the problem - it seems to me that it doesn't know how to return a JSON response -

Nov 02, 2014 11:59:19 AM org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.WriterInterceptorExecutor$TerminalWriterInterceptor aroundWriteTo
SEVERE: MessageBodyWriter not found for media type=application/json, type=class com.vogella.jersey.jaxb.model.Todo, genericType=class com.vogella.jersey.jaxb.model.Todo.

      

        
        
        
      

    

I understand that the jaxrs-ri 2.13 package includes everything needed, including dependencies, to allow me to do this - and I don't need to add any JSON provider. I did so, I tried to add gson, for example downloaded the moxy jars and tried to add them to the WEB-INF / lib folder and deploy - all to no avail. I don't know if I am completely in weed or if I am missing something simple?
