java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Missing implementation of resolved method 'abstract void doFilterInternal(..)

Question

I am upgrading from spring boot 2.1.11_RELEASE to 3.0.6. But on hitting a particular api, I get this error on my local :

ERROR o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[.[dispatcherServlet] - Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Filter execution threw an exception] with root cause

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Missing implementation of resolved method 'abstract void doFilterInternal(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, jakarta.servlet.FilterChain)' of abstract class org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter.

and this error when I hit the api on dev env:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class com.xxx.xxx.api.util.AllowLoggedInUserFilter does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract void doFilterInternal(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, jakarta.servlet.FilterChain)' of abstract class org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter.

I have done the same upgradation with other services with similar code but has faced no errors including migrating from javax to jakarta. This one is a particularly old service. This question on stackoverflow doesn't solve my issue.

UPDATE javax was being used in another class AllowLoggedInUserFilter from a common library which was being used in app configurations causing the issue. Since, I can't update AllowLoggedInUserFilter to jakarta right now I created my own replica of it using jakarta in service.

Answer 1

as mentioned by xerx593, javax was being used in another class AllowLoggedInUserFilter from a common library which was being used in app configurations causing the issue. Since, I can't update AllowLoggedInUserFilter to jakarta right now I created my own replica of it using jakarta in service.
