code runs fine under 1.9. Here are my dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.1</version>
</dependency>

what could cause such an exception?

Answer 1

I think your problem is related to the fact that Jersey was changed quite a bit from version 1.9 to 1.10; namely there was a big change to Servlet functionality. You can read more here: Jersey 1.10 released As far as your problem goes, I think you simply missing some dependencies. I know I had to add the following to my .pom file:

        <!-- Jersey 1.17 dependencies -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-servlet</artifactId>
            <version>${jersey-version}</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.2</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <!-- end Jersey 1.17 dependencies -->
