JBoss6 with REST client (jersey-client) - java

I want to consume a REST service in my web app (.war with 6.0.0.Final), but have problems adding jersey-client libs:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
With this configuration I get the following error during JBoss startup:
08:11:28,297 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].
[localhost].[/test]] Exception starting filter Resteasy:
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.aht.erp.web.rest.JaxRsActivator
cannot be cast to javax.ws.rs.core.Application
My webapp has an activated JAX-RS with the following annotation:
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;
#ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class JaxRsActivator extends Application {}
If I don't add the dependecy my war starts fine, but of course I get a NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jersey/api/client/config/ClientConfig when the jersey-client is called. By excluding jersey-core I get this error: NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jersey/core/util/FeaturesAndProperties.

I believe the problem is that you are trying to mix two different jax-rs implementations in your web app. For your RESTful resource you are using RESTEasy, while on the client side you want to use Jersey - all utilized by the same jar. However the Jersey client depends on Jersey core, which conflicts with RESTEasy. So, you'll either have to rely on RESTEasy client API, or switch to Jersey for your server-side as well.

Set httpOnly in NewCookie using Jersey

I want to set httpOnly on a NewCookie created by Jersey.
I am using the following library for Jersey:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
<version>1.19.4</version>
</dependency>
This uses javax.ws.rs:jsr311-api:1.1.1 which doesn't seem to support httpOnly in NewCookie.
Which Jersey library should I use with Tomcat if I want to have a httpOnly cookie?
You need to use JAX-RS/Jersey 2.x For that, use the following dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
<version>2.32</version>
</dependency>
If you need support for JSON/POJO mapping, add the following
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
<version>2.32</version>
</dependency>
You should also remove any dependencies you currently are using that are for Jersey 1.x. Leaving them may cause some conflict and cause your app to not work. If you find out you need any other features for Jersey that require other jars, make sure you use the same version.
Note: If for any reason, you must stick with using Jersey 1.x, a cookie is sent simply by sending a Set-Cookie response header. When the browser sends it back to the server, is in the form of a Cookie request header. So you could use cookies without needing the actual NewCookie and Cookie classes that JAX-RS 2.x offers by simple working with headers. See Using HTTP cookies.

Is it necessary to add Spring Web when using Spring Actuator?

I'm trying to in corporate Spring Actuator to my application. I have added the dependency in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
But I get a 404 when trying to access the /health endpoint. After looking online, I've read that I need to also have the spring-boot-starter-web dependency in my POM. I was under the assumption that I only need the actuator dependency in order to get it working
Yes web is needed if you want to access via HTTP (otherwise only JMX is available).
The documentation for actuator states
"Click Dependencies and select Spring Web and Spring Boot Actuator."

Glassfish4 server & jersey2: why does glassfish provide its own jersey2 to application

Recently I tried to deploy a Jersey2 application to Glassfish4.1. I had lots of dependency issues and found a lot of ClassCastException.
Later I found the user guide here: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/modules-and-dependencies.html#servlet-app-glassfish
I have to configure pom.xml like:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
If you are using Glassfish application server, you don't need to package anything with your application, everything is already included. You just need to declare (provided) dependency on JAX-RS API to be able to compile your application.
My question is that why Glassfish have to provide jersey2 (JSR implementation) itself for application. Why not just let application to choose the JSR implementation it is using?
I also add glassfish-web.xml under WEB-INF:
<glassfish-web-app>
<class-loader delegate="false" />
</glassfish-web-app>
According to the document here (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1752/beagb/index.html):
It will let Glassfish to load classes under WEB-INF/lib/ first. But why does Glassfish still use its own jersey version and javax version?
For javax, I guess Glassfish is a java application version and it only support specific JSR implementations. So when I choose JSR implementation in my application, and I have to find out the correct version of Glassfish.
But why is jersey2 so special that glassfish have to provide it. What if I want to use another version of jersey2?
Updated:
I ran some more tests.
When I deployed a jersey1 application (jersey1 is included in war file) to glassfish4 and asked glassfish4 to delegate class loader process to its parent, and this application works, and application can handle incoming rest requests. Why? I guess since glassfish does not have jersey1 included, it will load jersey1 from libraries inside war file, and glassfish4 is actually working with jersey1. Does this mean I can override glassfish default behavior to let application to choose the JAX-RS implementation.
And if I replaced jersey1 with jersey2 and still let glassfish4 to load libraries from war first, there was an exception thrown:
WebModule[/invoiceLoader]StandardWrapper.Throwable
java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.glassfish.jersey.gf.cdi.internal.CdiComponentProvider to org.glassfish.jersey.server.spi.ComponentProvider

at org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.WebComponent.<init>(WebComponent.java:392)
at org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer.init(ServletContainer.java:177)
How did this exception happen?
My question is that why Glassfish have to provide jersey2 (JSR implementation) itself for application. Why not just let application to choose the JSR implementation it is using?
Because Glassfish is a Java EE compliant server, and JAX-RS is part of the EE spec. So it needs an implementation of JAX-RS to run a JAX-RS application. It just happens to use Jersey as the implementation , just like JBoss uses RESTEasy. If the server didn't have an implementation, then it wouldn't be EE compliant. An application should be able to run a complete EE application only compiling the application against the single EE jar. It shouldn't have to know anything about implementations.
What if I want to use another version of jersey2?
You can just try to replace all the Jersey implementation jars with new ones. See Updating Jersey 2 in GlassFish 4.

#BeanParam in Swagger with Resteasy 3.0 and Wildfly 8.0

I'm trying to use Swagger to document my Rest API. I want to make use of #BeanParam annotation, however Swagger interprets the bean model as a single body. I've changed my swagger dependency to swagger-jersey2-jaxrs_2.10 but that made Wildfly unable to start cause of WELD-001408 error (as in first link below). I have read a lot of stuff, but nothing seems to solve my problem:
https://developer.jboss.org/thread/240847
https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/issues/446
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/swagger-swaggersocket/K5TFkxIcRQs/A34nupqPTTcJ
I've tried by changing dependencies in my pom.xml according to linked threads, now it looks like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.wordnik</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-annotations</artifactId>
<version>1.3.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.wordnik</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-core_2.10</artifactId>
<version>1.3.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.wordnik</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-jersey2-jaxrs_2.10</artifactId>
<version>1.3.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-gf-cdi</artifactId>
<version>2.14</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
<version>2.14</version>
</dependency>
Moreover, I have a custom servlet for Swagger:
public class SwaggerServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4104485315753399385L;
#Override
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
BeanConfig beanConfig = new BeanConfig();
beanConfig.setVersion("1.0.2");
beanConfig.setBasePath("/CityAlertsWeb/service");
beanConfig.setResourcePackage("pl.cityalerts.web.controllers");
beanConfig.setScan(true);
ClassReaders.setReader(new JerseyApiReader());
}
}
Is there any way to make #BeanParam work in Swagger with Resteasy?
Should I add any other dependency?
With such a config I'm getting:

Thanks
Even though RESTEasy 3.X has been officially released about a year and a half ago, it is still fairly uncommon, at least in our experience.
Swagger-core comes in several flavors, as a Play module, Servlet, and JAX-RS. When it comes to JAX-RS, there's a basic JAX-RS implementation for JAX-RS 1.X and then there are specific implementations for Jersey 1.X and Jersey 2.X.
The Jersey 1.X and 2.X implementations include support for file uploads in those libraries as, unfortunately, file uploads are not part of the JAX-RS specification and end up being implementation-specific.
However, another difference in the Jersey 2.X specific implementation is the support for JAX-RS 2.0, which includes the #BeanParam support. At the moment, there is no general-purpose JAX-RS 2.0 module.
From the original link, it seems there's a conflict between JBoss/WildFly and loading the Jersey dependencies, which the Jersey 2.X flavor pulls in. Based on the interactions in the comments, the solution is to exclude (<exclusion>) the org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-multipart dependency (which is indeed the one for file upload support) and adding it again manually in the main pom.xml. While not an elegant solution, it works as a workaround.
I would also suggest opening an issue about it in the swagger-core repository. I imagine JAX-RS 2.0 adoption will grow over time and we should give it proper support.

Tomcat trying to resolve JSP files in RESTful Spring MVC Service

I am using Spring MVC to create a RESTful service, using the #Controller and #RequestMapping annotations to control responses. I am also using Maven as a dependency management system.
In one function, I use a URI template in my #RequestMapping to retrieve a variable from the GET request. This function returns JSON when it is complete.
Due to problems with the JSTL libraries as a result of using URI templates (essentially I was getting 500 status codes because of a ClassNotFoundException with a JSTL class), I had to add the following dependencies to my Maven POM file (these come from our private repository, but you should be able to understand what they are):
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2-rev-1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.el</groupId>
<artifactId>el-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
</dependency>
However, as a result of adding these, I now get 404 errors, because Tomcat (which is handling the requests under Spring) is trying to resolve my URI, which is usually
localhost:9095/DiagnosticToolService/demo-object/1/json (the 1 being my GET variable, of course)
to a file, specifically
localhost:9095/DiagnosticToolService/WEB-INF/jsp/demo-object/1/json.jsp
Of course, this file does not exist. How do I turn off this automatic JSP resolution in Tomcat so that it can work properly? Also, are those the dependencies I needed to add to fix the 500 error? The 500 error and the 404 error are shown below:
The 500 error
The 404 error
Are you using #ResponseBody on your controller method that produces JSON? from the description of the problem it looks like the request is not making it to your controller or the return value from the controller is interpreted as a view name.
Can you post the mapping you are using on the controller just the method signature?
