Random REST API calls fail after upgrading Jersey version

Recently had to upgrade version of Jersey from 2.5.1 (reason explained later) to 2.7 and ever since the upgrade, every time I upload code to the server, random API calls start failing with the following stacktrace:

org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors logErrors: The following warnings have been detected: WARNING: HK2 service reification failed for [com.example.rest.LeaderboardApi] with an exception:

Every time I do a clean build and re-upload, a new set of methods start failing (and the previously-failing ones start working) without any code change!

After trying 2.7, I switched to 2.25.1 and that opened up a whole another can of worms, so I tried with 2.5.2 (instead of the original 2.5.1) and it had the same problems as 2.5.1. I switched to 2.8, and it had the same random issues as with 2.7.

Current status is that with either version 2.7 or 2.8, a small (at least seemingly) random subset of the REST API methods fails with messages similar to the one above.

I would like to find out why this is and fix it.

Method Followed While Switching Jersey Versions

I would clean out the /WEB-INF/lib folder, change the jersey.version variable in pom.xml to the new version. Eclipse would then fetch all the necessary libs and re-build code. Running mvn appengine:update would re-populate the /WEB-INF/lib folder and package everything up.

A few times I did a clean (full) build to ensure that no artefacts from different versions would get mixed.

Reason for Upgrading from 2.5.1

Had to add a method (with the following signature):

public Response importChildren(@Context ContainerRequestContext reqCtx,
        @PathParam(ID) String id, @FormDataParam("file") InputStream csvStream,
        @FormDataParam("test") String testStr)

that would take an InputStream of a CSV file and process that. Because of that had to add jersey-media-multipart. Used with version 2.5.x (haven't tried with 2.6), this starts giving an error because it tries to write the InputStream to a temporary file (writing to disk is prohibited in Google App Engine (Standard), which is what I am using).

With versions >= 2.7 this tendency to write a temporary file can be avoided by adding file jersey-multipart-config.properties with the content jersey.config.multipart.bufferThreshold = -1

A Desperate Workaround

If nothing else works, I could move the CSV processing code out of Jersey-mediated methods and into a simple servlet. Then I don't need jersey-media-multipart and can move back to using version 2.5.1, where all the code was working reliably.

Had exact same problem when trying to deploy my application to a weblogic server.

Restarting the weblogic managed server worked for me.

To stop:

Start WebLogic Server administration console by typing http://[host name]:[port]/console in the URL line of a web browser.

Under Domain Structure, click Environment > Servers.

In the right pane, click the Control tab.

Select the managed server that you want to stop.

Click the Shutdown button below the managed server you want to stop.

Select When Work Completes to gracefully shut down the server or select Force Shutdown Now to stop the server immediately without completing ongoing tasks.

On the Server Life Cycle Assistant pane, click Yes to complete the shutdown.

To start:

Ensure that the WebLogic Server and Node Manager are running.

Start WebLogic Server administration console by typing http://[host name]:[port]/console in the URL line of a web browser.

Under Domain Structure, click Environment > Servers.

In the right pane, click the Control tab.

Select the managed server that you want to start.

Click the Start button below the managed server you want to start.

The Full and Complete Solution

The answer by @Kostiantyn set me on the right path, though I had to make a small change to get it to work. So that others can avoid the time wastage that I had to face, I will give the complete solution below.

As @Kostiantyn pointed out, I needed to upgrade to Jersey 2.9 to get rid of the interoperation bug between Jersey and HK2. However, when I switched to 2.9 I started getting the following error on all my POST/PUT methods (all of which @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON):

org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.ReaderInterceptorExecu‌​tor$TerminalReaderIn‌​terceptor aroundReadFrom:
  MessageBodyReader not found for media type=application/json, type=class com.example.json.StarDto,
    genericType=class com.example.json.StarDto

This was a big problem and to solve this I added the following dependency (based on suggestion by @Kostiantyn):

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

After testing with this new added dependency, the older errors were gone and instead I started getting the following on my POST methods (didn't test the PUT methods):

org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
  com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.cfg.EndpointConfigBase.<init>(Lc‌​om/fasterxml/jackson‌​/databind/cfg/Mapper‌​Config;

After trying a lot of different things I finally realised that jersey-media-json-jackson was pulling in the jackson-jaxrs-base-2.3.2.jar, which was conflicting with jackson-jaxrs-base-2.7.1.jar (which was the version I needed). So adding jersey-media-json-jackson with the following exclusion finally solved all my problems:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
                <artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-base</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

This one

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.Utilities.hasInjectAnnotation(Utilities.java:1484)

is a known bug of interoperation between Jersey and particular underlying HK2 kernel version, which comes with Jersey 2.7 as transitive dependency

We've switched to HK2 2.3.0-b05 in 2.9-SNAPSHOT. After we release 2.9 the problem should be gone.

Looks like the closest Jersey version which has that bug fixed is 2.9. But if you'd prefer to stay with 2.7 please find below workaround.

To force usage of hk2-api 2.3.0-b05 version through Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-common</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2</groupId>
            <artifactId>hk2-api</artifactId>
            <!-- this is to exclude 2.2.0 version -->
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2</groupId>
    <artifactId>hk2-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0-b05</version>
</dependency>

That exclusion exercise may be required for some of the rest Jersey artifacts in your pom.xml, just check the mvn dependency:tree ... accordingly
