Looking for some information on installing RESTXpress. I found a PDF installation guide but not the installer.

Hi John,

I'll ask our team and update.

Here you go: http://www.exadel.com/restxpress

Thanks Max for providing the link.

A few more questions. It looks like you can only install RestExpress on JBOSS 7 or Tomcat standalone.

I decided to install Tomcat 7, the latest version.
REST services are not deploying correctly on Tomcat.
The admin tool is working fine for setting up DataSources and I can test my db queries which are working fine. But when I create the REST resource it throws a lot of exceptions in Tomcat.

Do you happen to know if there version requirements for Tomcat. Does it support Tomcat 7? Do I need an older version?

Can you tell us what exceptions you are getting?

Thank you, Max will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your message.

Please try to do next steps:

1. Provide information about your operating system and Java version.

2. Re-install the product:
   2.1 Stop Tomcat.
   2.2 Try using IPv4 instead of IPv6, using this JVM parameters: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Addresses=true
   2.3 Run installer.

3. If you test resources from /admin - check correctness of port and host on the settings page.

   Thanks, Alex

Can you tell me on what version of Tomcat have you tested this on?
I am running JDK 1.60.33 on Windows Xp.

I also set IPV4 but I still get the same error.

It works fine on JBoss community Edition 7.

I was not able to make this work on Tomcat 6 or 7.
