ClassNotFoundException: org.glassfish.jersey.internal.RuntimeDelegateImpl cannot be found in OSGi bundle which has embedded cxf dependencies

Question

This is relate to the jax-rs-2-0-change-default-implementation I'm having an OSGi bundle which consist of cxf 2.7.8 as well as openejb. cxf dependencies are added as embedded dependencies.

When I try to deploy a webapp I'm getting the below exception. When I set the system property when starting the server as -Djavax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate=org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.impl.RuntimeDelegateImpl this can be solved.

But in the above link it says that when I have the META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate file with the content as org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.impl.RuntimeDelegateImpl this can be solved.

In my OSGi bundle that file exist in the cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs-2.7.8.jar But this jar is embedded in the OSGi bundle seems that is not getting pick correctly. I tried to add the same file to the OSGi bundle META-INF/services but it didn't work either.

Can someone tell me is there a way to get rid of this without manually setting the system property? java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at

Answer 1

Was able to find the answer here: https://wso2.org/jira/browse/WSAS-1870

Basically you need to add a system property for setting the default delegate:

javax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate=org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.impl.RuntimeDelegateImpl

Answer 2

If you are using

import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

then add the following dependency in your 'pom.xml' file. It worked for me..

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jersey</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
