Hibernate Proxy and JAXB with SpringJersey

Question

I have a Spring Jersey app and Hibernate at DAO tier. Because some facilities of MOXy offers for One Model Approach (read an answer of Blaise Doughan JAXb, Hibernate and beans). I use MOXy instead of JAXB which shipped with Jersey. But when I add moxy dependency to pom.xml, the REST request couldn't be handled. Weblogic complains:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.uri(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder;

This is a part of my pom.xml

I suspect MOXy 2.8 is not compatible with Jersey 1.9. Please give me some advice.., thank you!

Answer 1

You have a mix of Jersey 1.x components and Jersey 2.x components. You can't mix the two.

You've declared a dependency on:

• com.sun.jersey:jersey-server:jar:1.9

But you've also declared a dependency on:

• org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-moxy:jar:2.8

Which is pulling in:

• org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-common:jar:2.8 and...
• javax.ws.rs:javax.ws.rs-api:jar:2.0)

If you want to use jersey-media-moxy you need to upgrade to Jersey 2.x.
