GlassFish 4.0 / Jersey 2.0 - NoClassDefFoundError

I'm using GlassFish 4.0 R89 on my dev system, working with JAX-RS. Simple calls work, so I can get a serialized object, represented in XML. I had to install that on the machine of a guy who will also be involved in the coding process, and I also tried that on my notebook - and I'm getting the same result - a NoClassDefFoundError is thrown for the class JsonStructureBodyReader (although I'm not even using JSON, tried that, the server definitely returns XML with correct headers for the content-type).

I thought I might have imported a project incorrectly, but after a comparison of the files in the working and the non-working version, I realized that there doesn't seem to be a difference that could be responsible for that (the projects are more or less equal on both machines).

I thought maybe there's a problem with the GF version, so I checked that, but both installations are R89. However: The jars in the GFs modules/ directory seem to be different, especially when doing a binary comparison.

Has anyone experienced that problem before?

Here's the full stacktrace:

回答1:

If you're not using JSON (JSON Processing library) then you should remove jersey-media-json-processing module from the classpath of your client (which seems to be outside of GF). This module depends on jsonp-jaxrs.jar (+ javax.json.jar, javax.json-api.jar) which contains the JsonStructureBodyReader. The thing is that everytime the jersey-media-json-processing module is on a classpath Jersey tries to register JSON Processing providers via Auto-Discoverable mechanism. This means that in case of missing dependencies one would encounter an exteption similar to yours.

Just remove the glassfish library from build path in eclipse. Then do add external jars, and add all the jars from the following folders in glassfish4 directory.

C:\glassfish4\glassfish\modules
C:\glassfish4\glassfish\modules\endorsed
C:\glassfish4\mq\lib

Here's the client code I used to write REST client using JAX RS

import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;


public class test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
        String name = client.target("http://localhost:9999/MyResourceRestfulService/myresources/myresource")
          .request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
          .get(String.class);

        System.out.println(name);
    }

}

回答3:

If you are using Glassfish 4.x as server and its libraries. You have to add javax.son.jar jsonp-jaxrs.jar

Both libraries are located in \glassfish\modules

回答4:

If you are using a JUNIT test with MAVEN just add

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonp-jaxrs</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml
