java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.jboss.resteasy.cdi.CdiPropertyInjector.inject(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

Question

I have a web application using JSF 2.2, glassfish 4.1 and RestEasy 3.1.2. Everything works well on local host, but when I try to deploy the war file to aws elastic beanstalk, the application doesn't display anything, after checking the logs on aws, I found out that I have this error.

Here is my pom.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-jaxb-provider</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-servlet-initializer</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-cdi</artifactId>
            <version>4.5.5.Final</version>
        </dependency> 

I tried to google similar errors and found different solutions like adding resteasy-cdi dependency to pom.xml, adding <scope>provided</scope> to resteasy-servlet-initializer dependency, but none of the solutions worked for me even though none was matching my case 100% Thank you.

Answer 1

After many hours of googling, I finally managed to find the solution. The problem was that I was using RestEasy instead of Jersey. I removed all of the mentioned above dependencies and everything worked well because jersey dependencies are included in \glassfish-4.1\glassfish\modules .
