    This is because the Jersey RuntimeDelegate implementation is
    registered, but we try to go through the wink dispatching
    servlet for REST. Also the Jersey RuntimeDelegate is registered
    for the whole JVM rather than specifically for the app so
    putting Jersey in one app interferes with other apps.

    ****************************************************************
    The jaxrs-1.1 feature incorrectly intercepts REST requests for
    all applications even ones that contain their own JAX-RS
    provider. The jaxrs-1.1 feature then incorrectly attempts to
    integrate with the applications JAX-RS provider, but is unable
    to do so causing the exception.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The jaxrs-1.1 feature has been updated to detect when a third-
    party JAX-RS provider exists in the application and ensures that
    it does not get invoked as a result of the REST request, instead
    allowing the third-party JAX-RS provider to invoke the
    application.
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
    page for delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    

Temporary fix

  • Ensure that the application using the third party JAX-RS
    provider contains both the JAX-RS implementation and JAX-RS
    API jars and that the META-INF/services within the application
    are properly configured to use the 3rd party's RuntimeDelegate.
