does multiple packages should have corresponding groupid and artifactid in POM configuration

Question

I am building restful application for selecting data from mysql using maven. I am quite confuse with POM configuration which looks like below:

 </build>

</project>

While I am multiple packages shown as below:

Question is that do I need add another groupid and artifactid for every packages. When I visit path http://localhost:8080/helloworld/rest/exportfile/json which is coded as @path under the class of com.tutorialacademy.rest packages it does work:

But when I visit path http://localhost:8080/helloworld/rest/helloService/hello/ which under webService package. This gives me error:

The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

My web.xml is as below:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>helloworld</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
        <param-value>com.tutorialacademy.rest</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>helloworld</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<init-param>
    <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
    <param-value>com.tutorialacademy.rest</param-value>
</init-param>

The param-value lists the packages that should be scanned for classes annotated with @Path, so that Jersey can register those classes. You only have the one package listed that you said works. You can add more than on package delimited by a comma

<param-value>
    com.tutorialacademy.rest,
    webService
</param-value>

Though it is common practice to have a top level package for your project. For example

com.foo
com.foo.dao
com.foo.model
com.foo.resources

The packages that you list in the param-value are scanned recursively. So you could just use com.foo in this case, and all then sub-packages would get scanned also.
