NoSuchMethodError: MultivaluedMap.addAll in Jersey Client

Question

I'm trying to use Jersey Client to simulate HTTP requests to my web service. I tried to implement the simple example from the documentation. Here's my short code:

public void restoreTest(String sessionId) throws Exception {
    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
    WebTarget target = client.target(idsUrl).path("restore");
    Form form = new Form();
    form.param("sessionId", sessionId);
    target.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_TYPE);
}

I didn't even implement the whole example, because currently I get an exception in the last line:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap.addAll(Ljava/lang/Object;[Ljava/lang/Object;)V

I only added this dependency to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
</dependency>

I tried to google the problem, as well as debug the application, but I can't really see what's wrong with it.

Can you show the rest of your pom dependencies? – Gardener

@orid Added the dependencies. – Gaspard

Answer 1

This looks like an inconsistency pertaining to the JAX-RS API version (which contains the MultiValuedMap).

You are using client jersey-client v2.2, which is compiled against v2.0 of the JAX-RS API. But your runtime states to run with Java EE 6, which defines JAX-RS API v1.1. So your code expects v2.0 of the JAX-RS API, but gets v1.1 at runtime.

This is the MultiValuedMap API for Java EE 6:

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/ws/rs/core/MultivaluedMap.html (no addAll method).

And for Java EE 7:

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/core/MultivaluedMap.html (this one includes the addAll method).

As you are using Java EE 6, you should be using jersey-client v1.8, not 2.2. Or you should be including the Java EE 7 API in your runtime classpath, and not 6.

Leapt

Thank you! It has to work on Glassfish3, so I decided to keep to JEE6 and use jersey-client 1.8. One more thing that was wrong with my dependencies was the provided scope of javaee-api. Jersey Client needs concrete implementation of it if it is to work outside the server (e.g. during integration tests). This helped: #12143372 – Gaspard

Mixing jersey-client 1.8 and 2.x could cause such issue. After cleaning up the dependencies and only using jersery-client 2.x, the same problem is gone in my application – Superphysical

I thought I removed all jersey 1.x dependencies but found that I still had javax.ws.rs.jsr311-api version 1.1.1 in my dependencies. After removing it the problem was gone... – Borchers

For mvn, run mvn dependency tree and for gradle, run gradle dependencies and survey the list of dependencies to identify potential conflicts. – Captivate

@Alexander Bollaert : How can you identify the runtime version ? – Eserine

If you're running on a J2EE certified server, the specification version pegs the component API versions. Check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Platform,_Enterprise_Edition (Web Profile). – Leapt

Answer 2

The offending class comes from this dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>6.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

It has jax-rs 1.1 core classes inside, specifically MultivaluedMap interface without addAll method.

Either disable it (It seems you can if only using Jersey), or upgrade to version to 7.0

Gardener

Ori Dar: how did/would you exactly disable the jax-rs 1.1 from the dependency? I tried excluding artifactId core from group javax.ws.rs, also jsr311-api from same group as separate try and once I had even javaee-api dependency set to 7.0. Neither case, no one has helped alone. Should some combo or different exclusion to be used? – Behm

Answer 3

In my case this looks to be an incompatibility issue with Jersey Client and Jersey Core. I got past it by disabling the client:
