RESTful service with EJB 3.1 endpoint cannot be found (404)

Question

Hi,
I have a Resource configured as a EJB 3.1 Stateless Bean. I also have an overridden Application class to customize the context root. However, the client just cannot seem to find the Resource. What am I doing wrong? The Resource is packaged and deployed as a war.

Tests in error:
  testSendRequestAndGetGreeting(name.app.abhi.helloworld.ejb.restful.client.HelloWorldEjbRestfulClientTest): GET http://localhost:9090/practice/helloworld?name=Duke returned a response status of 404 Not Found
Resource:
@Path("helloworld")
@Stateless
public class HelloWorldBean {

    public String getQuintessentialGreeting(@QueryParam("name") String name) {
     if (name == null) {
         throw new WebApplicationException(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST);
     return "Say hello to the world, " + name;
Application class:
@ApplicationPath("practice")
public class ApplicationConfig extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
     Set<Class<?>> clazzez = super.getClasses();
     if (clazzez == null) {
         clazzez = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
     clazzez.add(name.app.abhi.helloworld.ejb.restful.service.HelloWorldBean.class);
     return clazzez;
Client:
public class HelloWorldEjbRestfulClient {
    private final static String ENDPOINT_URI = "http://localhost:9090/"
         + "practice/helloworld";
    public String sendRequestAndGetGreeting(String name) {
     Client client = Client.create();
     WebResource webResource = client.resource(ENDPOINT_URI);
     webResource.accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN);
     return webResource.queryParam("name", name).get(java.lang.String.class);

Answer 1

I figured this out...the context root is NOT the one specified in the @ApplicationPath annotation. The context root has to be specificed in the vendor-specific dd, glassfish-web.xml for example, or the default needs to be accepted.
The endpoint URI is of the form http://hostname:port/contextRoot/applicationPath/path, where applicationPath is specific with @ApplicationPath and path with @Path.
