JBPM、JBoss 和 RestEasy 的传递依赖问题？

Question

My code seems to be breaking on a transitive dependency issue that I cannot find. I am trying to migrate from JBoss EAP 7.3 with RedHat's PAM 7.9 product (which is JBPM 7.48) to JBoss EAP 7.4 with PAM 7.12 (ie JBPM 7.59) and am experiencing the issue in a servlet of mine that calls the kie-server via a kie-client API. I have read about and encountered RESTEasy issues before with JBoss, so based upon my error have removed the tags to hopefully avoid any inconsistencies - but still have an odd error.

This is the stack trace that I get which has been edited for brevity:

5:37:57,975 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-4) UT005023: Exception handling request to /PamHelper/pam/helper/pamQuery: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnhandledException: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: _typeCache

        at org.kie.server.client.KieServicesFactory.newKieServicesClient(KieServicesFactory.java:101)

This is my dependency tree. I have guessing there is a conflict either in a RestEasy dependency or (from the error message) some odd problem initializing marshalling; there is no typeCache field either in my code or the JBPM source code.

The other possibility that I can think of is that this is related to this issue which may not have been fixed in PAM ; I have downgraded from Java 11 to Java 8 to have my the code running on my laptop look more like my company's integration environment.

Answer 1

You've got a dependency on two different versions of RESTEasy. You don't want to use 6.0.0.Final as that is Jakarta REST 3.0 which is Jakarta EE 9.1. You want to use the latest 3.15.x version as that is what JBoss EAP 7.4 uses. You also want to make sure you mark those dependencies as <scope>provided</scope> as they are provided by JBoss EAP 7.4.

I don't think you need the org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-servlet-initializer at either.
