Glassfish error when producing JSON

json xml web-services netbeans glassfish

I developed an Android app and now I'm starting with its external DB and its server, the communication is performed by RESTful web services.

This Android aplication just produces and consumes info in JSON, so in my web services facades I just want to erase any mention to XML in the CRUD methods, (automatically generated by NetBeans).

I mean, from this:

@GET
@Override
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public List<Counselor> findAll() {
    return super.findAll();
}

To this (without the MediaType.APPLICATION_XML):

@GET
@Override
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<Counselor> findAll() {
    return super.findAll();
}

The thing is that when I deploy these changes in my GlassFish Server (4.1.1) and do some tests with my browser (just want to see my DB data) I get an error with this stacktrace:

It's a bug in Glassfish 4.1.1 https://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-2888

I was able to fix it in a dirty way:

In glassfish/modules/org.eclipse.persistence.moxy.jar fix META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Just append the following to Import-Package:

,org.xml.sax.helpers,javax.xml.parsers;resolution:=optional,javax.naming;resolution:=optional

so it looks like after:

and restart GF

btw: you can easy edit jars in terminal with

emacs org.eclipse.persistence.moxy.jar
