In response i am geting:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Answer 1

When you put an * (asterisk) in the end (@RestResource(urlMapping='/helloWorld/*')) you need to write an ID or something else. What you are trying to accomplish i guess is more like this

 @RestResource(urlMapping='/helloWorld')

And then make this call

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sessionId"  "https://instance.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/helloWorld"
