spring-boot-jersey does not autodiscover jersey-media-moxy

Question

We're just starting a new project, and are looking into spring-boot for kickstarting our development. spring-boot seems powerful, but there's some magic going on that we yet don't understand.

I've cloned the spring-boot samples and ran the Jersey Example. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-jersey So far so good.

I then converted this to Groovy/Gradle.

relevant sections of the build script looks like this

.
.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
//        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.0.M2")
        classpath 'org.springframework:springloaded:1.2.0.RELEASE'
    }
}
.
.
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
.
.
dependencies {
    compile project(':domain')
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey",
            "org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-moxy:2.13",
            "org.springframework:spring-webmvc"
}

when running gradle bootRun the server starts, and the EndPoint resource in the samples are working.

No I want to serialize my domain object to json, creating a PersonResource class

@Component
@Path("/internal/v1/core/person")
class PersonResource {

    @GET
    def hello() {
        "hello"
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/greet/{firstName}")
    String greet(@PathParam('firstName') String firstName) {
        def p = Person.findByFirstName(firstName)
        return p ? "Hello ${p.firstName}!" : "Person not found"
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/{firstName}")
    @Produces(APPLICATION_JSON)
    def getPerson(@PathParam('firstName') String firstName) {
        def p = Person.findByFirstName(firstName)
        if (p) {
            return p
        } else {
            return Response.status(NOT_FOUND).build()
        }
    }


    @POST
    @Path("{firstName},{lastName}")
    Response addPerson(@PathParam('firstName') String firstName, @PathParam('lastName') String lastName) {
        Person.withTransaction {
            def p = new Person(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName).save()
            if (p) {
                return Response.created().build()
            } else {
                return Response.status(BAD_REQUEST).build()
            }
        }
    }


}

When running the example, I use curl to create a new Person. See the last method -> addPerson

When accessing the the "greet" resource, this also works fine, returning a String

However, when trying to return a json represenation of Person using the "getPerson" method, this fails with

I've added the "org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-moxy:2.13" as a dependency, according to Jersey 2 docs

https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/media.html#json.moxy

This should be a Auto-Discoverable feature, so this should work without requiring registrating moxy as a feature

So, I think, maybe this is related to my other issues with spring-boot-jersey and gradle? So to exclude this possibility, and add the following to the spring-boot-sample-jersey code

public class Person {

    public String firstName;
    public String lastName;
}

 @GET
    @Path("/person")
    @Produces(APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Person person() {
        Person p = new Person();
        p.firstName = "Elvis";
        p.lastName = "Presley";
        return p;
    }

and to the pom

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-media-moxy</artifactId>
            <version>2.13</version>
        </dependency>

However, this also fails, although with a different exception

I am missing something obvious here? Or is this a problem with spring-boot-jersey?

You're trying to use version 2.13 of jersey-media-moxy with Boot 1.2.0.M2. Boot 1.2.0.M2 uses version 2.7 of the other Jersey modules. Dropping back to 2.7 of the jersey-media-moxy module should fix the problem. Alternatively, Boot's latest 1.2.0 snapshots are now using Jersey 2.13 so you could update your Boot dependency to 1.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT instead.

This solves my initial problem. However, when returning more complex domain entities with relations/collections from the jersey resource, 404 is returned. And no logging provided from jersey on the 404, so I have to dig deeper into that. (jersey logs other things though, just not this) – runeaen Oct 30 '14 at 08:14
