AbstractMethodError using UriBuilder on JAX-RS
I am trying to build a REST webservice using an asynchronous response.
I have looked around this error on the web, however, none of the solutions have worked for me. I am not sure on how to go about it.
This is the code for the REST service, it has AsyncResponse, and @Suspended which are taken from jar file specified in the pom.xml, which I will provide below. The problem is, on deploying the war, I get an exception:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.uri(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder;
javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.fromUri(UriBuilder.java:119)

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.50 logs

Answer
AbstractMethodError are thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method.
uri is an abstract method in UriBuilder, so you need an implementation of this. This method (with String parameter) is from version 2.0 of JAX-RS specification.
You're trying to use JAX-RS 2.0 with Jersey 1.*. Instead, you need to use Jersey 2.* that implements JAX-RS 2.0 and contains an implementation to uri method.
In your pom.xml you may remove these dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.19</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
<version>1.19</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
<version>1.19</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0-m12</version>
</dependency>
And use these dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
</dependency>
Using this, uri method is implemented in JerseyUriBuilder class from jersey-common.
EDIT:
You need to change, in your web.xml, servlet com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer to org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer and init-param from com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages to jersey.config.server.provider.packages
