[Resteasy-users] Use Resteasy server-side Cache

[Frederic E. <da...@li...>]

Hello everyone,

I develop a software which provides webservices on a tomcat. These webservices parse and display data from a 3rd website with JSOUP in XML or JSON format. 
Now I want to use the server-side caching to reduce the requests be made to these websites.
The Project is managed with Maven and I'm using the 3.0.6.Final version of resteasy and it will all be deployed on an integrated Tomcat 7 for testing purposes. 

While researching on how to get the caching into my project I stumbled upon this link http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/1.1.GA/userguide/html/Cache_NoCache_CacheControl.html which I thought contained everything I needed. So I added the dependency to my pom

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-cache-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.9.Final</version>
        </dependency>

and added the context parameter to my web.xml

    <context-param>
        <param-name>resteasy.server.cache.maxsize</param-name>
        <param-value>1000</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>resteasy.server.cache.eviction.wakeup.interval</param-name>
        <param-value>5000</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.cache.server.ServletServerCache</listener-class>
    </listener>

But while trying to run the project on my server I get the following exception

SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.cache.server.ServletServerCache
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.cache.server.ServletServerCache

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

So I build the war with Maven -> build and checked for the jar file in WEB-INF/lib/ and found the resteasy-cache-core-3.0.9.Final.jar.

What is going wrong? Or is the way on approaching the server-side cache implementation wrong?

Thank you.
