No resource found for class in CXF rest services

Question

I am trying to implement restfull webservice using apache cxf.

while deploying the war file in tomcat I am getting the error as Error creating bean with name 'Analysis': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ServiceConstructionException

package com.bt.ws.pointsystem.pojo;

public class AnalysisResponse {
    private String UserId;
    private String AnalysisType;
    public String getUserId() {
        return UserId;
    }
    public void setUserId(String userId) {
        UserId = userId;
    }
    public String getAnalysisType() {
        return AnalysisType;
    }
    public void setAnalysisType(String analysisType) {
        AnalysisType = analysisType;
    }





}

what else I am missing here?

TIA

In may case I enabled the trace log and I saw the following [error](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33023730/jax-rs-method-has-no-path-or-http-method-annotations) — Christian, Oct 22 '15 at 07:23

Another common cause of this problem is having the method annotated with @Path protected rather than public.

I experienced a similar problem that disappeared when I corrected the @WebService annotation, which needs to be on the interface and not the service class.

I get the same problem after upgrading dependency. I had to replace every javax with jakarta.
