Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Provider for jakarta.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder cannot be found

Question

I am migrating my project from Java EE 7 to Jakarta EE 10.0.0 and have changed all the relvant javax references to jakarta.

I have no any compilation issues but I am getting the following error during runtime.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Provider for jakarta.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder cannot be found.

Following are the dependencies I use in my project. I added jersey-client and jersey-media-json-jackson to fix the ClientBuilder issue.

I have implmented my ClientBuilder as below

CLIENT = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().register(JacksonFeature.class).build();

Answer 1

I was able to resolve the issue by adding the below dependencies and changing the client builder implementation to

CLIENT = JerseyClientBuilder.newClient();

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.5</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.inject</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-hk2</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.5</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-media-json-binding</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.5</version>
        </dependency>
