PI71887: JAX-RS Client fails when running in OSGi bundles

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When attempting to use the JAX-RS Client and ClientBuilder
APIs from an OSGi bundle in Liberty (either in an OSGi
application or as a user feature / product extension), the
ClientBuilder will attempt to load the JerseryClientBuilder
implementation because it cannot find Liberty's configured
client build implementation.  You may see an exception like
this:
java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClientBuilder
at
javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newBuilder(ClientBuilder.ja
va:103)

This is because the metadata that tells the ClientBuilder
which implementation class to load is in a runtime bundle
that is only found for Java EE applications.

This is because the metadata that tells the ClientBuilder which
implementation class to load is in a runtime bundle that is only
found for Java EE applications.

Problem conclusion

The fix for this APAR is to ensure that the JAX-RS ClientBuilder
can find the configuration for Liberty's client builder
implementation class in all cases, Java EE applications as well
as OSGi bundles.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 16.0.0.4.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
