Hi Friends,
I have tomcat 7 and eclipse.
My problem is when I start tomcat without war file it starts successfully but when I am Adding my war file by right clicking on Tomcat Server in eclipse, it gives in following exception :

— short diagnosis and practical fixes.

This error usually means RESTEasy's auto-scanner (which uses Scannotation) hit a classpath entry it cannot handle (a URL with the "jndi" protocol when Eclipse/Tomcat are serving the module directly), so scanning fails and RESTEasy aborts with the "you must manually register" message. This commonly shows up when running a Tomcat server from Eclipse with the WTP "serve modules without publishing" behavior. (mkyong.com)

Fast, low-risk workarounds

  • Disable RESTEasy auto-scanning and register resources/providers explicitly via web.xml context params (or an Application subclass). This avoids any archive scanning code entirely. Example (web.xml snippet):

    <context-param>
  <param-name>resteasy.scan</param-name>
  <param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
  <param-name>resteasy.resources</param-name>
  <param-value>com.example.MyResource,com.example.OtherResource</param-value>
</context-param>

    Preferably, with Servlet 3+ create an Application class or use resteasy-servlet-initializer and return the resource set programmatically. RESTEasy documents both approaches and notes the scan flags are legacy when using Servlet 3.0 initializers. (docs.jboss.org)

Tomcat/Eclipse and library fixes to try

  • If you need hot-deploy from Eclipse, turn off "Serve modules without publishing" in the Tomcat server editor (or publish a real WAR) so class/resource URLs are normal file/jar URLs rather than workspace/jndi-backed URLs. The WTP loader can produce nonstandard resource protocols that Scannotation chokes on. (stackoverflow.com)
  • Verify WEB-INF/lib for duplicate or corrupt JARs (scannotation, resteasy-multipart, etc.). Some reported fixes came from swapping problem JAR versions or disabling problematic providers (see reported resteasy multipart/scannotation issues). (mkyong.com)

If the quick fixes do not help, capture the full Catalina log, list WEB-INF/lib contents, and try deploying the same WAR to a standalone Tomcat outside Eclipse — that will quickly show whether the problem is deployment-mode (Eclipse/WTP) or a library/version issue.
