Including Jersey for ResourceConfig in Netbeans 8 with Glassfish 4

Question

As per described here: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/user-guide.html#servlet-app-glassfish Glassfish is supposed to come packaged with Jersey. However, ResourceConfig is not included in the classpath. If I try to manually add it to the project through "Add Libraries", I receive the following error:

SEVERE:   Exception during lifecycle processing org.glassfish.deployment.common.DeploymentException: CDI deployment failure:WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [IterableProvider<InjectionResolver<Object>>] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[BackedAnnotatedParameter] Parameter 2 of [BackedAnnotatedConstructor] @Inject org.glassfish.jersey.internal.inject.JerseyClassAnalyzer(@Named ClassAnalyzer, IterableProvider<InjectionResolver<Object>>)]

Any idea on what this error means, how to fix it, and get ResourceConfig available for usage in my RESTful project?

Answer 1

If you create a pure JAX-RS project in NetBean then you have only JAX-RS 2.0 APIs available in your application. If you want to use specific features of Jersey and deploy your application to GlassFish you need to add Jersey bits to the project manually and mark them as "provided". This way the compiler will see the classes but they're not bundled into resulting WAR (as they're already part of GF).
