I follow tutorial here on how to create web service using RESTful web service and Jersey and I get kind of stuck. The code is from HelloWorld3 in the tutorial I linked above. Here is the code. I use Netbean6.8 + glassfish v3

RESTGreeting.java create using JAXB. This class represents the HTML message in Java

package com.sun.rest;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;


@XmlRootElement(name = "restgreeting")
public class RESTGreeting {
private String message;
private String name;

/**
 * Creates new instance of Greeting
 */
public RESTGreeting() {
}

/* Create new instance of Greeting
 * with parameters message and name
 */
public RESTGreeting(
    String message,
    String name) {
    this.message = message;
    this.name = name;
}

/** Getter for message
 * return value for message
 *
 */
@XmlElement
public String getMessage() {
    return message;
}

public void setMessage(String message) {
    this.message = message;
}

/* Getter for name
 * return name
 */
@XmlElement
public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}
}

HelloGreetingService.java creates a RESTful web service that returns an HTML message

package com.sun.rest;

import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.PUT;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;


@Path("helloGreeting")
public class HelloGreetingService {
@Context
private UriInfo context;

/** Creates a new instance of HelloGreetingService */
public HelloGreetingService() {
}

/**
 * Retrieves representation of an instance of com.sun.rest.HelloGreetingService
 * @return an instance of java.lang.String
 */
@GET
@Produces("text/html")
public RESTGreeting getHtml(@QueryParam("name")
String name) {
    return new RESTGreeting(
        getGreeting(),
        name);
}

private String getGreeting() {
    return "Hello ";
}

/**
 * PUT method for updating or creating an instance of HelloGreetingService
 * @param content representation for the resource
 * @return an HTTP response with content of the updated or created resource.
 */
@PUT
@Consumes("text/html")
public void putHtml(String content) {
}
}

However when i deploy it on Glassfish, and run it. It generate an exception. I try to debug using netbean 6.8, and figure out that this line return new RESTGreeting(getGreeting(), name); in HelloGreetingService.java cause the exception. But not sure why. Here is the stacktrace
