Restful JSON Requests Returns 404

[WasteviouoNe]

I'm currently trying to get a simple Hello World type example working and I'm receiving 404 - Not Found when invoking my web service. I apologize if this is a newbie type question, but I'm beyond frustrated. I believe it's a configuration issue because I'm not even reaching the controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated or even help in enabling debugging log4j throws AccessControlException which seems to related to Tomcat 6.

My call is http://localhost/rest/service/emps

Which spring version? Post the logging.

Also crank up the log level to DEBUG and see what happens to your request.

Spring 3.0.5

I cannot get logging enabled (unless I'm really really dense) due to an aforementioned issue with Tomcat 6. Unless there is another way to accomplish logging without doing the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">  
  
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">  
  
  <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">  
    <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>  
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">  
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n"/>  
    </layout>  
  </appender>  
  
  <root>  
    <priority value ="error" />  
    <appender-ref ref="console" />  
  </root>  
  
  <category name="org.springframework" additivity="false">  
    <priority value="debug" />  
    <appender-ref ref="console" />  
  </category>  
  
</log4j:configuration>

And adding the following lines (in this order) to the very top of my web.xml:

<context-param>  
  <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>  
  <param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.xml</param-value>  
</context-param>  
<listener>  
  <listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-class>  
</listener>

Any help either getting debugging up and running or if somebody sees something obviously wrong in my config is super appreciated.

Are you using port 80 to develop? By default Tomcat responds on 8080.
I can't see anything wrong in your conf files.
