}
}
but class tomcat show error message as follows
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet
on the time of deploy.
what I miss??

Answer 1

it actually depends on jersey version if you are using jersey 2.x then you need another configuration in web.xml. you can update your web.xml with following configuration.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myrest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>your.package.path</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>unit:WidgetPU</param-name>
<param-value>persistence/widget</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myrest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
See here

Answer 2

the error shows that you're missing the class com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet and i think it's a class in the jar that you declared : <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-spring</artifactId>
<version>1.19</version>
You should verify in this jar if your class exists or not ? If not another version of your jarjersey
