Post Jersey upgrade from 2.37 to 3.1.9 getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Could not find a suitable constructor
Hi Team,
Mine is a Tomcat based application which is working fine with Tomcat 9.x, Servlet 4.x and Jersey 2.37
with below web.xml:
My AppServlet looks like below:
public class AppServlet extends ResourceConfig {
......
// Application startup
@Inject
public AppServlet(ServiceLocator serviceLocator) throws Exception {
logger.info("Application initialization started!!!");
.....
// Enable this to instantiate bound classes, with Immediate as the scope, during binding phase
// rather than when accessed for the first time
// ServiceLocator serviceLocator = ServiceLocatorUtilities.createAndPopulateServiceLocator();
ServiceLocatorUtilities.enableImmediateScope(serviceLocator);
register(new AbstractBinder() {
protected void configure() {
.......
bind(actorSystem).to(ActorSystem.class);
bind(I18NMessages.class).to(I18NMessages.class).in(Immediate.class);
bind(GraphDataManager.class).to(GraphDataManager.class).in(Immediate.class);
bind(CacheManager.class).to(CacheManager.class).in(Singleton.class);
.....
}
});
.....
}
@PreDestroy
private void shutdown() {
......
}
}
After I upgrade to Tomcat 10.1, Servlet 6.0.0 and Jersey to 3.1.9, I am getting below exception and application is not starting:
Java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Could not find a suitable constructor......

Due to this I am not able to upgrade to latest versions.
Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks Ashok.
Double-check the imports, for example, if you use jakarta.inject.Singleton.class vs javax.inject.Singleton.class. Otherwise, provide more info about the issue. The current report is not complete - no imports are visible, stack-trace is not complete. Dependencies are not included. It's not solvable in this state.

Thanks for the additional information. Seen the imports:
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Singleton;
should be replaced to
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import jakarta.inject.Singleton;
and check if the related dependency for the Inject is migrated as well:
<-- This is new one for Jakarta 10 -->
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.inject-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1</version>
</dependency>
Thank you @senivam , After making the above changes Application is started, but looks like initialization didn't happen properly, I am getting below exception when I am triggering any of my REST API.

I am guessing the below classes are not initialized properly in the AppServlet
register(new AbstractBinder() { protected void configure() { ....... bind(actorSystem).to(ActorSystem.class); bind(I18NMessages.class).to(I18NMessages.class).in(Immediate.class); bind(GraphDataManager.class).to(GraphDataManager.class).in(Immediate.class); bind(CacheManager.class).to(CacheManager.class).in(Singleton.class); ..... } });
and I18NMessages class looks like below:
@Singleton public class I18NMessages {
@Inject private I18NMessages(Config config) { .... }
}
you can try marking the class directy by annotation:
@Immediate
@jakarta.inject.Singleton
public class I18NMessages {
// class implementation
}
and then register it as a singleton within the binder:
bind(I18NMessages.class).to(I18NMessages.class).in(jakarta.inject.Singleton.class);
But, as I see, your code is quite complex, so consider focusing on the migration with help of the migration guide for the Jersey-related part.
in(Immediate.class) probably does nothing, as Immediate is no Scope recognised by Jersey.
@senivam I have javax.inject references in other places as well, after replacing them with jakarta.inject issue resolved.
