Migrating to Jersey 3, javax libaries are still requested

824 Views Asked by buzoherbert At 20 October 2024 at 10:54

I am trying to migrate an old server to Jersey 3.0.8.

Among other issues, I found this one when accessing the landing page of the server:

Type Exception Report

Message Error allocating a servlet instance

Description The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

While trying to solve it, I found that Jersey 3 uses the jakarta namespace to replace the javax one, so I replaced implementation("javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:4.0.1") with implementation("jakarta.servlet:jakarta.servlet-api:6.0.0"). I also went trough the code and replaced all the imports of dependencies with the javax namespace to ones with jakarta. The only classes that I couldn't migrate were the ones accessing javax.imageio, as there seems to be no jakarta equivalent for them.

But then, when I try to run the server and access an endpoint, I get this error:

The error is clearly about javax.servlet.ServletContext not being found.

When I add the javax.servlet import alongside the jakarta.servlet one, the original issue comes back.

Do you know of a way around this problem? Is it necessarily around the build configuration or could it be coming from a different place?

For context, I am trying to run this project using Tomcat Embedded and I am using Gradle for building it.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

**buzoherbert** · Answer 1

After digging, I found that I had a couple of nested dependency related to javax:

javax.annotation-api:1.2
javax.ws.rs-api:2.0.1

They were both related to cxf-rt-rs-security-cors:3.1.2.

After I upgraded it to 3.5.4 the problem went away.
