NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jersey/spi/spring/container/SpringComponentProviderFactory

Question

Problem : I have a JAX-RS Web Application running on Glassfish, developed using Intellij IDEA. The server was working fine until I added support for Enunciate. The moment I added "enunciate:docs enunciate:assemble" maven goal to be run before Make and Deploy Artifact steps, all hell broke loose. On every re-deploy, I get the below errors. Even after removing the enunciate maven goals, I still get them...

Question : What the hell causes this, because I don't even use Spring (SpringComponentProviderFactory) ?

Edit : This is still not fixed. Any other ideas ?

Artifact project:war exploded: java.io.IOException: com.sun.enterprise.admin.remote.RemoteFailureException: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : CDI deployment failure:WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [Ref<ContainerRequest>] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[BackedAnnotatedParameter] Parameter 1 of [BackedAnnotatedConstructor] @Inject org.glassfish.jersey.server.internal.routing.UriRoutingContext(Ref<ContainerRequest>, ProcessingProviders)]. Please see server.log for more details.

At the same time, in the server logs I get:

Answer 1

Apparently this is fixed now. I have no idea what actually did it, because sometimes a change did nothing, sometimes it did. Ex: I've added enunciate:assemble goal after enunciate:docs, redeployed and nothing changed. Only after a server restart did it include the docs folder in the artifact. I can't understand the reasoning behind this, because a server restart has nothing to do with a build step, but whatever...

Anyhow, from all the changes/configs I've tried, I would pay attention to these especially, from pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<packaging>war</packaging>

   <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.enunciate</groupId>
            <artifactId>enunciate-rt</artifactId>
            <version>1.28</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

LE: I am pretty sure it's partially because of <scope>provided</scope> Just be sure to not compile it like I initially did. The other reason I think has to do with the maven assemble steps like described above.
