Question

I have a problem with development resteay+ejb+json. Using Jboss-5.1.0.GA. I get example from resteasy-jaxrs and adapted to use for my case. Added jars(this ask me jboss. in other case catch exception - class not found) into \jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\lib\

resteasy-jaxb-provider-1.2.1.GA jaxrs-api-2.0.1.GA resteasy-jaxrs-2.0.1.GA

Get exception

Please, any suggestion. Best regards Artem

Answer 1

RestEasy no longer includes JSON support in the JARs. http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.0.0.GA/userguide/html_single/index.html#JAXB_+_JSON_provider

You need to go get a JAX-B JSON library from http://jettison.codehaus.org/

Answer 2

Please try including @DoNotUseJAXBProvider for the method that you are getting the error for. This worked for me. But this was for text/html This is mentioned in http://docs.jboss.com/seam/3/rest/snapshot/reference/en-US/html_single/

Answer 3

http://jettison.codehaus.org/ not work for me because the .jar in this website not work with resteasy.

You must download resteasy-jettison-provider.jar because this jar implement jettison for resteasy (work for me) : http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/r/Downloadresteasyjettisonproviderjar.htm

Answer 4

I used jackson provider

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-jackson-provider</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1.GA</version>
    </dependency>

and solved problem.

note that resteasy-jackson-provider depends on resteasy-jettison-provider

Answer 5

adding the following jar resolved my issue:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-jettison-provider</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
