xml response not working but json is working Rest Api using Jersey

Question

This is my first program on REST API using jersey. My rest API is giving me an Error code 500 when I try to get the response back in XML but it is working fine for JSON.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

There is no error shown in the console.

    public class MyResource {
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getIt() {
        return "Got it!";
    }
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
    @Path("/cust")
    public Customer getCust() {
        Customer cus= new Customer();
        cus.setName("john");
        cus.setId(1);
        cus.setAddress("india");
        return cus;
    }
    @GET
    @Path("/test/order")
    @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON,MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
    public Order getOrder() {
        List<Order> o =new ArrayList<Order>();
        Order ord=new Order();
        ord.setCost(0);
        ord.setProductID(0);
        ord.setQuantity(0);
        ord.setShippingAddress("abcd");
        o.add(ord);

        return ord;
    }


}

My customer class

    package in.octalian.mobileservice.model;

     import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

         @XmlRootElement
     public class Customer {

    private int id;
    private String name ;
    private String address;

    public Customer() {}

    public Customer(int id,String name,String address) {
        this.id=id;
        this.name=name;
        this.address=address;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }

}

XML response that I attach to give more information to you.

Is there a stacktrace on the server logs? Is this happening for both resource methods? You might want to try to register this [DebugExceptionMapper](https://stackoverflow.com/a/31289875/2587435). I bet you will get a stack trace with more useful information in you're not already getting one, — Paul Samsotha, Nov 25 '18 at 10:16
yes it is happening to both the methods. i did register an exception mapper and it did not show me any stack trace. — scoutjohn13, Nov 25 '18 at 11:05
You sure the mapper is registered? How are you registering it? So currently the mapper is not being called? — Paul Samsotha, Nov 27 '18 at 08:48

The issue is that you are trying to access a URI /cus but your code have a declaration as @Path("/cust"). So you should be using /cust.

Secondly, you could run your server(apache-tomcat for me) in debug mode to get debugging information if no logs are getting logged in the console for some error

Also, you need to add the header "Accept" in the request with the expected result format type. If not specified the first one will be considered as it appears first.
