Osgi REST API service using ECF and bndtools is not accessible

I'm currently trying to expose restful webservice using OSGI remote services, but it seems that i'm missing something from ECF tutorial. below the details here is the impl class:

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import org.example.api.HelloWorldService;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;

@Path("/helloworld")
@Component(property = { "service.exported.interfaces=HTTP", 
"service.exported.configs=ecf.jaxrs.jersey.server",
    "ecf.jaxrs.jersey.server.alias=/jersey" })
public class HelloWorldResource implements HelloWorldService {
@GET
@Produces("text/plain")
public String getMessage() {
    // Return some textual content
    return "Hello World";
}}

I followed this link to know how things can be together but i wasn't able to get HTTP 200 ok message based on the jax-rs path annotation

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tutorial:_Using_REST_and_OSGi_Standards_for_Micro_Services

Please note that all bundle are resolved correctly.

I've created a bndtools4 bndrun for something like your hello jaxrs service. First, you need to create a new workspace using the ECF bndtools.workspace template. Just follow the instructions here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Bndtools_Support_for_Remote_Services_Development

for creating a workspace from the ECF bndtools.workspace template. Just today I've added the JaxRS bundles to this workspace template.

Then I created an org.example.api project with this interface

package org.example.api;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;

@Path("/helloworld")
public interface HelloWorldService {

    @GET
    @Path("/hello")
    @Produces("text/plain")
    String getMessage();
}

Note that it differs slightly from yours because it has a @PATH annotation for the getMessage() method.

Then in another project...named org.example.impl there is this class:

package org.example.impl;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import org.example.api.HelloWorldService;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;

@Path("/helloworld")
@Component(property = { "service.exported.interfaces=*", 
"service.intents=jaxrs" })
public class HelloWorldResource implements HelloWorldService {
    @GET
    @Path("/hello")
    @Produces("text/plain")
public String getMessage() {
    // Return some textual content
    return "Hello World";
}}

The jaxrs annotations are the same as with the interface (as they should be). There are fewer

And here's the bndrun (which I've called jettyserver.bndrun):

With your permission, I would like to add bndtools project templates for both jaxrs hello api and impl projects to the ECF bndtools.workspace repo, along with a jersey and cxf bndrun server and client templates (once I complete them). I'll create the bndruns and test over the next few days.
