Question

What i am doing

Previosly i am using Jercey Client but Jercey don't have mechanism called Retry I have to use RestEasy client so i have added below dependency in my pom.xml file

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.8.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- JAXB support -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-jaxb-provider</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.8.Final</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-client</artifactId>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-multipart-provider</artifactId>

            <artifactId>resteasy-jackson2-provider</artifactId>
             <version>3.0.8.Final</version>
        </dependency>

Java code I have written

 ResteasyClient client;
   client = new ResteasyClientBuilder().build();
   ResteasyWebTarget target = client.target(usersRequest.getUrl());
   Response  response = null;
   if(null != usersRequest.getXmlObject()){
   response =  target.request().accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).post(Entity.entity(usersRequest.getXmlObject(),MediaType.TEXT_XML));

   }else{
   response =  target.request().accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE).get();
           }
   output = response.readEntity(String.class);

But I am ending with below error

I also checked the jar jaxrs-api-3.0.8.Final.jar which contain this class and method also in present even then its not going to resolve. Can any one tell me what i am doing wrong?

EDIT 1:- I restrict Jboss to use resteasy jar by adding following entry in jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>

        <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j" />

Solution 1

Any how this RESTEasy Client + NoSuchMethodError will help to resolve the issue.As i am using Jboss7.1.0.final server when i unzip resteasy-jaxrs-3.0.8.Final-all it have resteasy-jboss-modules-3.0.8.Final and resteasy-jboss-modules-3.0.8.Final come up with three folder com,javax,org these 3 folder we have to copy and paste to jboss-as-7.1.0.Final\jboss-as-7.1.0.Final\modules

I am copying only resteasy-jboss-modules-3.0.8.Final\org\jboss\resteasy to Jboss server so it was failing.

Solution 2

This problems are thrown cause of different version of Resteasy Client implementation between your app and Jboss.

Please see RESTEasy Client + NoSuchMethodError
