AbstractMethodError: org.jboss.resteasy.specimpl.ResponseBuilderImpl misses 'javax.ws.rs.core.Response$ResponseBuilder status(int, java.lang.String)'

Question

I was trying to deploy Okapi Longhorn on Tomcat when I got this error:

FATAL [http-nio-8080-exec-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [Resteasy] in context with path [/okapi-longhorn] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root cause
    java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class org.jboss.resteasy.specimpl.ResponseBuilderImpl does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract javax.ws.rs.core.Response$ResponseBuilder status(int, java.lang.String)' of abstract class javax.ws.rs.core.Response$ResponseBuilder.
        at javax.ws.rs.core.Response$ResponseBuilder.status(Response.java:896)

Full stack trace:

I tried different Java and Tomcat versions also different architectures (arm64e and x86_64 on M1) without success.

I guess some dependency is missing or conflicting, something concerning RESTEasy, so I include them here:

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

It seems v1.42 was a botched release with many conflicting, outdated libraries included. In the meantime v1.43 was released which works (despite April 1st).

okapi-longhorn_all-platforms_1.41.0.zip 2021-04-10 04:21    53M
okapi-longhorn_all-platforms_1.42.0.zip 2021-12-23 12:27    96M
okapi-longhorn_all-platforms_1.43.0.zip 2022-04-01 22:40    58M

I'll make this a community wiki post in case someone feels bemused to run tomcat with JPDA debugger and further examine the cause.
