  1. Hello, Nice article.
    I am however facing an issue when I follow your exact steps.

    I get a XML namespace related error when deploying the mule servlet war file to Tomcat. The error message looks like below:

    Caused by: org.mule.api.lifecycle.InitialisationException: Line 23 in XML document from test-servlet.xml is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 23; columnNumber: 37; cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'jersey:resources'. One of '{"http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core":abstract-message-processor, "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core":abstract-outbound-endpoint, "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core":abstract-mixed-content-message-processor, "http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core":response}' is expected.

    I think I have added the XML namespaces properly in my test-servlet.xml file:

















    Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

    1. late reply, but perhaps, you're missing the jersey namespace?

      xmlns:jersey="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jersey"
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jersey
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jersey/current/mule-jersey.xsd

      or probably you missed the mule jersey jar.

  2. Why @Context HttpServletRequest returns null always?

    1. hi prasad. I do hope that you resolved your problem already. In any case, you may have misconfigured something, you can elaborate further so we can understand why yours is failing.
