Webapp fails with "JBAS011232: Only one JAX-RS Application Class allowed" after adding a maven dependency to hadoop-azure - maven

Question

I have a webapp that runs fine in JBoss EAP 6.4. I want to add some functionality to my webapp so that it can process Parquet files that reside in AzureBlob storage. I add a single dependency to my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-azure</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
If I now try to start my webapp, it fails at start up:

The message "JBAS011232: Only one JAX-RS Application Class allowed" seems to be caused by my webapp trying to use both RestEasy and Jersey. JBoss uses RestEasy by default. Apparently, hadoop-azure must have a Jersey application class. How can I eliminate this problem by indicating that I don't want to use the Jersey-based application class?

Answer 1

hadoop-azure pulls in hadoop-common, which pulls in Jersey. In the version of hadoop-azure you're using, hadoop-common is in compile <scope>. In new version, it is in provided scope. So you can just upgrade the hadoop-azure dependency to the latest one. If you need hadoop-common to compile, then you can redeclare hadoop-common and put it in provided scope.
