Hi Dave,

Nice timing, i just replied to a comment on my blog:

http://blogs.sun.com/sandoz/entry/jersey_0_6_is_released#comment-1206561409000

from a developer who seems to be experiencing the same issue.

I think it is a bug in the Light Weight HTTP server :-( but I don't know
precisely what the issue is, there are others using the LW HTTP on
windows without any issues. Is there any way you could profile where it
is hanging?


An alternative is to use the Grizzly container as follows:

import com.sun.grizzly.http.SelectorThread;
import com.sun.ws.rest.api.container.grizzly.GrizzlyServerFactory;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {

     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
         SelectorThread s =
GrizzlyServerFactory.create("http://localhost:9998/");

         System.out.println("Server running");
         System.out.println("Visit: http://localhost:9998/helloworld");
         System.out.println("Hit return to stop...");
         System.in.read();
         System.out.println("Stopping server");
         s.stopEndpoint();
         System.out.println("Server stopped");
     }
}

Note that any path component of the URI passed to the create method will
be ignored (that needs to be fixed). So if you have a resource

   @Path("helloworld") public class Root { ... }

the path to that resource will be http://localhost:9998/helloworld

You need to include the jar "grizzly-http-webserver-1.7.2.jar" in the
classpath.

Another alternative is to use Jetty with Servlet, see here:

https://jersey.dev.java.net/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=1064653


And of course if you don't need embedded use switch to using a web
container.

Paul.
