Problem Description

Deployment of MicroProfile applications fails due to resolution errors of MicroProfile-related OSGi bundles.

$ asadmin deploy mp-sample.war
remote failure: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while deploying the app [mp-sample] : A MultiException has 3 exceptions.  They are:

Command deploy failed.

Steps to reproduce

Deploy an application that uses MicroProfile.

Impact of Issue

GlassFish users cannot enjoy MicroProfile features.

Notes

Deploying an application that does not use MicroProfile but CDI also triggers related warning messages:

    [2024-12-03T19:15:41.798346+09:00] [GF 8.0.0-M8] [WARNING] [] [ServiceLoader] [tid: _ThreadID=57 _ThreadName=admin-listener(4)] [levelValue: 900] [[

If the debugging mode is enabled (asadmin start-domain --debug), the following error message can be obtained at first:

    [2024-12-04T11:50:58.088866+09:00] [GF 8.0.0-M8] [SEVERE] [] [jakarta.enterprise.system.core] [tid: _ThreadID=57 _ThreadName=admin-listener(2)] [levelValue: 1000] [[

            caused by:
                Unable to resolve

                        &(package = jakarta.annotation) (version >= 2.0.0) (!(version >= 3.0.0)))]
    
    ]]

The above message implies version mismatch of Jakarta Annotation.

• GlassFish 8.0.0-M8 distribution contains Jakarta Annotation API 3.0 (Jakarta EE 11).
• MicroProfile Rest Client API included in GlassFish 8.0.0-M8 requires Jakarta Annotation API 2.x (Jakarta EE 10).

Is it possible to coexist Jakarta Annotation API 2.x and 3.x?
If not, this problem might not be resolved until MicroProfile APIs align with Jakarta EE 11...

[OndroMih]

As the only thing changed in the Annotations API was removing ManagedBean annotation and MicroProfile doesn't use this annotation, it should be fine to relax the OSGi version and accept also 3.0.0 version in Rest Client.

This could be done either in the Jersey project directly, or GlassFish could repackage the Jersey dependency and modify the OSGi manifest.

Got a similar issue when I was trying to use MP Config. Glassfish 8.0.0 M9 announced it supports MP Config and MP JWT auth(not tried yet).

See: #25298

Please can support with video tutorials because we some problems as above?

And doesn't we have any video tutorials explain micro profile with glassfish

[OndroMih]

Hi, @JamalYounes, the problems described above are only with GlassFish 8, which is still a work in progress.
