I am trying to create a small project concerning RESTful services. So I fire up IntelliJ IDEA and do:
New Project -> (select Java) -> (select RESTful WebService 2.2) -> check "Generate client and server code", select to download needed libraries.
Afterwards when going to the created HelloWorld
class I get the following error:
cannot resolve symbol "HttpServerFactory"
as well as cannot resolve symbol "jersey"
for this import: import com.sun.jersey.api.container.httpserver.HttpServerFactory;
.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
The cannot find symbol error, also found under the names of symbol not found and cannot resolve symbol , is a Java compile-time error which emerges whenever there is an identifier in the source code which the compiler is unable to work out what it refers to.
Alternatively, change the version of the Jersey library on your Module settings page. Apparently they removed the HttpServerFactory on later versions...
To change the version, right click on your module and select 'Open Module Settings (F4)'. From there on click Libraries on the left, select jersey from the library list, then click "Change Version". v1.12 worked for me.
