I'm trying to build a JAX-RS based web service using IBM RAD 7.5.5 (which is basically Eclipse + plugins) and WebSphere 6.1.
When I create a new Dynamic Web Project, I get the "New Dynamic Web Project" dialog box.
For "Target Runtime", when I pick "WebSphere 6.1", the "Dynamic Web Module" is 2.4 and when I modify the Configuration there is no "JAX-RS (REST web services)" to select in the list.
However, for "Target Runtime", when I pick "WebSphere 7.0", the "Dynamic Web Module" is 2.5 and modify the Configuration there IS a "JAX-RS (REST web services)" to selected in the list.
So my question is, why isn't "JAX-RS" in the list for WebSphere 6.1 / Dynamic Web Module 2.4? Is it simply not supported? If someone could explain why and what the number "2.4" means, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Rob
