Java: Jersey - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.jersey.core.reflection.ReflectionHelper. getContextClassLoaderPA()Ljava/security/PrivilegedAction;

I’ve been trying to put some tests around an Neo4j unmanaged extension I’ve been working on and ran into the following stack trace when launching the server using the Neo4j test harness:

public class ExampleResourceTest {
    @Rule
    public Neo4jRule neo4j = new Neo4jRule()
            .withFixture("CREATE (:Person {name: 'Mark'})")
            .withFixture("CREATE (:Person {name: 'Nicole'})")
            .withExtension( "/unmanaged", ExampleResource.class );

    @Test
    public void shouldReturnAllTheNodes() {
        // Given
        URI serverURI = neo4j.httpURI();
        // When
        HTTP.Response response = HTTP.GET(serverURI.resolve("/unmanaged/example/people").toString());

        // Then
        assertEquals(200, response.status());
        List content = response.content();

        assertEquals(2, content.size());
    }
}

I was a bit baffled at first but if we look closely about 5 - 10 lines down the stack trace we can see the mistake I’ve made:

	at com.sun.jersey.api.core.PackagesResourceConfig.(PackagesResourceConfig.java:89) ~[jersey-server-1.19.jar:1.19]
	at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.WebComponent.createResourceConfig(WebComponent.java:696) ~[jersey-servlet-1.17.1.jar:1.17.1]
	at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.WebComponent.createResourceConfig(WebComponent.java:674) ~[jersey-servlet-1.17.1.jar:1.17.1]

We have different versions of the Jersey libraries. Since we’re writing the extension for Neo4j 2.2.3 we can quickly check which version it depends on:

$ ls -alh neo4j-community-2.2.3/system/lib/ | grep jersey
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 markneedham  staff   426K 22 Jun 04:57 jersey-core-1.19.jar
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 markneedham  staff    52K 22 Jun 05:02 jersey-multipart-1.19.jar
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 markneedham  staff   686K 22 Jun 05:02 jersey-server-1.19.jar
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 markneedham  staff   126K 22 Jun 05:02 jersey-servlet-1.19.jar

So we should’t have 1.17.1 in our project and it was easy enough to find my mistake by looking in the pom file:

<properties>
...
    <jersey.version>1.17.1</jersey.version>
...
</properties>

<dependencies>
...

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-servlet</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
    </dependency>

...
</dependencies>

Also easy enough to fix!

<properties>
...
    <jersey.version>1.19</jersey.version>
...
</properties>

You can see an example of this working on github.
