The problem

As some background, I’m running the following:

• Jersey 1.15
• Apache Tomcat 7

The specific error that we’re going to fix is:

SEVERE: The following errors and warnings have been detected with resource and/or provider classes:
SEVERE: Missing dependency for method public au.com.your.package.YourResponse au.com.your.package.YourClass.someMethod(au.com.your.package.YourRequest) at parameter at index 0
SEVERE: Method, public au.com.your.package.YourResponse au.com.your.package.YourClass.someMethod(au.com.your.package.YourRequest), annotated with GET of resource, class au.com.your.package.YourClass, is not recognized as valid resource method.

If you’re running Tomcat like I am then you’ll see this in your catalina.out log file.
