I get this error when running the "complete" version of this getting started guide when I type in "http://localhost:8080/greeting" into my browser.

The README says http://localhost:8080/hello . That should work, right?

[Dave Syer]

Ah. There were 2 URLs in the README. One of them was wrong (fixed it).

[Andy Roth]

/hello worked. The documentation is wrong. It clearly says /greeting
