Resteasy deploy fails randomly on glassfish 4.1

问题

I have a problem with my REST-Application using Resteasy. When I deploy the application with this dependencies

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
    <artifactId>resteasy-servlet-initializer</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.11.Final</version>
</dependency>

as described here in Chapter 3.5 sometimes the server deploys the application correctly and everything works fine.

But sometimes I get

Error invoking ServletContainerInitializer

In the sources of ResteasyServletInitializer line 109 is this (with context)

ServletRegistration.Dynamic reg = servletContext.addServlet(applicationClass.getName(), HttpServlet30Dispatcher.class);
reg.setLoadOnStartup(1); //Line 109
reg.setAsyncSupported(true);
reg.setInitParameter("javax.ws.rs.Application", applicationClass.getName());

So I assume this is a Glassfish bug and Glassfish fails to properly return the correct object. I have not found that this happens with redeployments, after clearing osgi-cache, etc. It seems to be pretty random.

This seems to be related and I tried adding

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

But it still fails sometimes although I would say it fails a little bit less often. The accepted answer from the post is deprecated as by the resteasy reference 3.9. RESTEasy as a ServletContextListener so I do not want to try this. This seems like avoiding the problem, not solving it.

My Glassfish version is GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4.1 (build 13).

Please help me with this one.

Cheers

回答1:

I ended up avoiding this issue by ensuring the application WAR did not include RESTEasy.

So I build two wars now: one with RESTEasy (as required for deploying on Tomcat and Wildfly), another without (for deploying on Glassfish). That seems better than requiring changing the Glassfish install, but accomplishes the same: avoids having two JAX-RS implementations installed.
