title: What is best approach for implementing Jersey 2.x on Tomcat 8?
body: <p>I have Knowledge of the Web container and Tomcat and can deploy static and dynamic web sites.  But I am new to REST and Jersey.  I have read the 2.6 user's guide, reviewed many sites and youtube videos.  There seems to be a lot of info on 1.x Jersey but not much on 2.x  I can get 1.18 working in my environment but can't seem to get any deployment models working for 2.x.  I noticed in 2.x there is an Application deployment model.  So I thought i would ask some very generic questions to get this started.  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Which deployment model is best for basic REST services through Tomcat 8 and why?</li>
  <li>I see that the .jars deployed with 2.6 are much different than the ones deployed with 1.18.  Is there an easy way to tell which jars you need for a basic Tomcat installation?</li>
  <li>If you have a basic example, that would be great.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
