App Engine java – Jersey / Jackson JaxbAnnotationIntrospector NoClassDefFoundError

I'm asking an unanswered question from Google's App Engine for Java, because I have exactly the same question ( original)

I have compiled a simple JSON rest service using Jersey, JAXB and Jackson It works almost fine, but the first request to the server always ends up with an exception: Java lang.NoClassDefFoundError：org / codehaus / jackson / xc / JaxbAnnotationIntrospector

For some reason, gae / Jersey could not find this class in the initial request However, all subsequent requests after this work are good, and the is similar to having been loaded

Additional information:

I send JSON to the server – in chrome, I can see:

Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
Request Payload {"stuff":["a","b"],"number":"10"}

The relevant resource signatures are as follows:

@POST
  @Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
  public void run(Params params){};

Any help, thank you very much!

Edit: This is the full stack trace

Solution

From what I can tell you, it is most likely that there is no optional XC Jackson's lib

The XC package allows you to use XML annotations (JAXB) in addition to Jackson annotations for mapping classes

From what I can tell, this error will only happen once in Jackson's first setup, unless you need JAXB support and just ignore this problem
