After debugging for a few hours, I am seeking help to set up a REST API using Jersey in Java. I am using a Tomcat 6 server and the following is my file structure of the Mavin project:
On the right, the resource which I want to expose can be seen.
For the web.xml I have a file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This web.xml file is not required when using Servlet 3.0 container,
see implementation details https://github.com/jax-rs -->
<web-app version="2.5">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.howtodoinjava.demo</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/webapi/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and for the pom.xml as follows:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

I can build the Maven project and start the server. However if I want to add resources to the Server by right-clicking on the server name and clicking on "Add or Remove..." I get a message that I cannot select any resources. I followed the adivce in this question: There are No resources that can be added or removed from the server but it did not help and I also do not get any error messages which could lead me. Any recommendation what I am doing wrong?
When I want to run the Resource on the server by selecting "Run As" and then "Run on Server" I get the following message: The selection cannot be run on the server.
