JSONProvider has hard dependency on Jettison in Websphere ---------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3159 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3159 Project: CXF Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.11 Reporter: Josh Cummings On Websphere 7.0.0.13 in Development Mode, when excluding jettison as a dependency, endpoint startup fails with the following exception: Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.codehaus.jettison.mapped.TypeConverter at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFieldsImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFields(Class.java:546) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.AbstractResourceInfo.findContextFields(AbstractResourceInfo.java:77) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.AbstractResourceInfo.<init>(AbstractResourceInfo.java:60) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.ProviderInfo.<init>(ProviderInfo.java:27) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory.setProviders(ProviderFactory.java:341) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory.<clinit>(ProviderFactory.java:62) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:200) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.AbstractJAXRSFactoryBean.setupFactory(AbstractJAXRSFactoryBean.java:267) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.JAXRSClientFactoryBean.initClient(JAXRSClientFactoryBean.java:222) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.JAXRSClientFactoryBean.createWithValues(JAXRSClientFactoryBean.java:165) at org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.JAXRSClientFactoryBean.create(JAXRSClientFactoryBean.java:146) at org.lds.stack.rs.spring.ConsumeJaxRSFactoryBean.getObject(ConsumeJaxRSFactoryBean.java:27) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.FactoryBeanRegistrySupport.doGetObjectFromFactoryBean(FactoryBeanRegistrySupport.java:142) ... 145 more It appears that the createProvider method is trying to defend against this with a try-catch around the loading of the JSONProvider class; however, when in Development Mode in Websphere, classloading is a little lazier than that and the NoClassDef isn't thrown until later. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
