I am trying to make GAE-Shiro and Resteasy together. So I tried doing a quick port. However I am getting this error:

I realise that this question is almost a year old, but I faced a similar issue recently with Shiro (note: not GAE-Shiro) and RESTEasy and figured I would post the solution I used here so that it may benefit anyone else who experiences this particular problem.
The problem is that RESTEasy's GuiceResteasyBootstrapServletContextListener is trying to create a module that requires a parameter to be passed to it (in my case, it was a ShiroWebModule requiring a ServletContext parameter...in your case, it looks like com.cilogi.shiro.guice.ServeModule requires a String to be passed). However, when RESTEasy attempts to create the module, it does so by calling the no-args constructor, and then fails because there isn't one.
The solution I decided to go with was to extend GuiceResteasyBootstrapServletContextListener and override the getModules(ServletContext ctx) method so that if a constructor that takes a ServletContext exists, then use it, otherwise, use the default no-args constructor.
So for example:
public class MyBootstrapServletContextListener extends GuiceResteasyBootstrapServletContextListener {
@Override
protected List getModules(final ServletContext context) {
final List result = new ArrayList();
final String modulesString = context.getInitParameter("resteasy.guice.modules");
if (modulesString != null) {
final String[] moduleStrings = modulesString.trim().split(",");
for (final String moduleString : moduleStrings) {
try {
log.info("Found module: {}", moduleString);
final Class cls = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(moduleString.trim());
final Module module = createModule(cls, context);
result.add(module);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
return result;
}
private Module createModule(Class cls, ServletContext context) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException {
Constructor constructor = null;
try {
constructor = cls.getConstructor(ServletContext.class);
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
log.info("Class {} has no constructor that takes just a ServletContext parameter; defaulting to no-args constructor.", cls);
}
return constructor == null ? (Module) cls.newInstance() : (Module) constructor.newInstance(context);
}
}
Once this was in place, I changed web.xml to use MyBootstrapServletContextListener instead of RESTEasy's GuiceResteasyBootstrapServletContextListener, and RESTEasy no longer had a problem. You should be able to do something similar to allow RESTEasy to pass the required String to com.cilogi.shiro.guice.ServeModule.
Again, I realise you probably no longer need a solution, but I happened upon this question while researching the a similar problem with Shiro, and hope to help anyone else that is trying to combine RESTEasy and Shiro in their web app.
