I have followed the tutorial to create a web service (Developing REST Web Services Tutorial). This works as expected and I have a restful web service working. To build my service properly (initialize) I need access to the ServletContext to access the path to WEB-INF and resources I need there.

I tried adding @Resource WebServiceContext wsContext; to then use the wsContext to access the ServletContext but the wsContext is always null.

It would appear this is not the correct approach. What is the best way to resolve this and get the access I need?

Thanks in advance

I was hoping to hear back before the weekend on this if possible. It appears to be a very common need and I assume I am missing something basic. That is why I started with the tutorial and only added one change for the @Resource and a reference to use it…

Thanks

I believe you need the @Context annotation instead, something like

@javax.ws.rs.core.Context 
ServletContext context;

There are a few additional examples here: http://wikis.sun.com/display/Jersey/Overview+of+JAX-RS+1.0+Features

Hope this helps
