org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ModelValidationException: Validation of the application resource model has failed during application initialization

Ask Question
I'm developing spring boot microservices example from the link: https://dzone.com/articles/spring-boot-creating . In this project I simply updated the parent dependency to its latest version and other code files are unchanged. I faced the following error when I click http://localhost:8080/order?idCustomer=2&idProduct=3&amount=4
2016-09-09 11:46:20.888 ERROR 14152 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.a.c.c.C.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/]       : StandardWrapper.Throwable
org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ModelValidationException: Validation of the application resource model has failed during application initialization.
[[FATAL] A resource model has ambiguous (sub-)resource method for HTTP method GET and input mime-types as defined by"@Consumes" and "@Produces" annotations at Java methods public java.util.List br.com.alexandreesl.handson.rest.ProductRest.getProducts() and public java.util.List br.com.alexandreesl.handson.rest.CustomerRest.getCustomers() at matching regular expression /. These two methods produces and consumes exactly the same mime-types and therefore their invocation as a resource methods will always fail.; source='org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.RuntimeResource@14c14bf']

I was able to solve this issue. you need to make some changes in mapping request URL. I wonder how code in the block is working without error.
As per my understanding one possible cause is that you have two or more applicable mappings for that URL call. CustomerRest.java and ProductRest.java both were mapped to /.  
@Path("/")
@Path("/")
The Jersey have no way of telling what method is actually supposed to be called and gives this error.
You need to correct following files:
OrderRest.java
@Named
@Path("/")
public class OrderRest {
    private long id = 1;
    @Inject
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;
    @Path("order")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Order submitOrder(@QueryParam("idCustomer") long idCustomer,
            @QueryParam("idProduct") long idProduct,
            @QueryParam("amount") long amount) {
        Customer customer = restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/customer/getCustomer?id={id}", Customer.class, idCustomer);
        Product product = restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/product/getProduct?id={id}", Product.class,idProduct);
        Order order = new Order();
        order.setCustomer(customer);
        order.setProduct(product);
        order.setId(id);
        order.setAmount(amount);
        order.setOrderDate(new Date());
        id++;
        return order;
In CustomerRest.java - use this
    @Path("/getCustomer")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Customer getCustomer(@QueryParam("id") long id) {
        Customer cli = null;
        for (Customer c : customers) {
            if (c.getId() == id)
                cli = c;
        return cli;
In ProductRest - use this
    @Path("/getProduct")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Product getProduct(@QueryParam("id") long id) {
        Product prod = null;
        for (Product p : products) {
            if (p.getId() == id)
                prod = p;
        return prod;
Here is the output:
