You can try this... put parameters as :
http://localhost:8080/WebApplication11/webresources/generic/getText?arg1=hello in your browser...

package newpackage;

import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.DefaultValue;


import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PUT;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;

@Path("generic")
public class GenericResource {

    @Context
    private UriInfo context;

    /**
     * Creates a new instance of GenericResource
     */
    public GenericResource() {
    }

    /**
     * Retrieves representation of an instance of newpackage.GenericResource

     * @return an instance of java.lang.String
     */
    @GET
    @Produces("text/plain")
    @Consumes("text/plain")
    @Path("getText/")
    public String getText(@QueryParam("arg1")
            @DefaultValue("") String arg1) {

       return  arg1 ;  }

    @PUT
    @Consumes("text/plain")
    public void putText(String content) {





    }
}
