Maven Dependencies for Jersey #Context - jersey

Question

I am trying to get the HttpServletRequest from a jersey ContainerRequestFilter, using #Context as follows:
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;
#Provider
public class MyFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
#Context
protected HttpServletRequest httpRequest;
#Override
public ContainerRequest filter(ContainerRequest containerRequest) {
// logic ...
}
}
The filter is invoked upon the incoming request, but httpRequest is always null.
Currently am using version 1.19.3 for both jersey-server and jersey-json. Am trying to move to a later version of jersey to see if this solves the issue.
Have changed the jersey-server version to 2.7, however there is no corresponding jersey-json with the same version. Instead, am bringing in the dependency for jersey-media-json-jackson version 2.8, as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
<version>2.7</version>
<exclusions> <exclusion>
<artifactId>asm</artifactId>
<groupId>asm</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
<version>2.8</version>
</dependency>
However, this throws the following build error (same when using jersey-json version 1.19.3):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Implementing class
What are the correct jersey dependencies which are required for #Context to successfully inject the HttpServletRequest object into the filter?
Thanks

Answer 1

The annotation #Context is part of
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
I am still using Jersey version 2.23.1 and #Context works fine. The lastest version is 2.26, which is probably the version you should start with.
You are probably looking for a library to serialise and deserialise JSON:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.owlike</groupId>
<artifactId>genson</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>
These are all my Jersey dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-declarative-linking</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-multipart</artifactId>
<version>2.23.1</version>
</dependency>
