Servlet execution threw an exception - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientProperties.getValue

Question

I have a maven web application with the following project facets enabled.

• Dynamic Web Project 3.0
• JAX-RS REst Web Services 2.0
• Java 1.7

What I am basically trying to do is expose one of our functionalities as a RESTful web service, for which, I am using Jersey packages.

When I hit the rest URL, I am getting the following exception.

    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [com.bnym.dwf.BulkRemoveCSVEntitlements] in context with path [/bnym-dwf-rest-app] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root cause

I guess this is an issue with the version of Jersey that I am using. The list of dependencies snippet from my pom.xml is as follows.

I was using Jersey 2.19 packages earlier but then changed to 2.13. I have tried doing maven clean and maven build as well as Eclipse IDE's clean and build project multiple times.

In jersey-client 2.13 documentation, I find the getValue method available under ClientProperties class. Can someone help me identify why the issue still occurs?

Answer 1

To resolve these kind of errors, I usually, always update the sources of all the dependencies available in the POM.

Use the below command to fetch all sources of the jar files:

mvn dependency:sources

Now go back to eclipse, use the Ctrl + Shift + T, to find the ' org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientProperties ' file, and verify the getValue() method(s).

If you find the right method (with correct order of parameters), then it is a run time issue. Check your server lib to find any older(new) versions of that jar.
