I am trying to create a simple RESTful web service on IntelliJ IDEA and I am now encountering the following error:
The content of element 'application' is not complete. One of '{"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee":description, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee":display-name, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee":icon, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee":initialize-in-order, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee":module}
I believe these elements were not needed inside my application.xml before, then suddenly I encountered this problem when deploying.
I have the javaEEApplication and Web facets enabled in my project, the deployment descriptors seem to be set up correctly as well. I am referencing Jersey-2.2 as a library to use the RESTful services. My project also has GlassFish 4.1.1 - RESTful Web Service as a dependency.
I am using a Exploded artifact autogenerated from modules, and the run configuration is set to build then build artifacts. The credentials for the glassfish admin are correct.
I'm wondering why I am suddenly encountering this problem, I though that IntelliJ would auto generate any necessary content inside the deployment descriptor (application.xml) that it needed. Does anyone have any idea what I am missing? Perhaps I have to reference Java EE 6 or 7 as a library itself? I'm lost here.
Full error log below just in case:

Edit: I have solved this particular issue, having the javaEEapplication facet enabled for the project was a mistake, as it is only a restful web service. Now I face a new problem where the output is telling me Application [CapstoneIntelliJProject_war_exploded] contains no valid components. . The server log doesn't contain any useful information. I'm not sure what is wrong with my war, it seems to be configured fine.
I have solved the war exploded issue by recreating the war
