Jersey rest lib from a war is clashing in WAS 8.5 and giving java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/ws/rs/core/Application.getProperties()Ljava/util/Map;

Question

Application Server: Websphere 8.5

Project Type: It is a war project based on Restful Web services and created using jersey javax.ws.rs-api-2.0.1.jar and jersey libraries are shipping in WEB-INF/lib

We are installing and starting the project successfully. But when we are calling web services, we are getting following exception: -

000000c7 webapp        E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp logServletError SRVE0293E: [Servlet Error]-[Jersey RESTful Application]: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/ws/rs/core/Application.getProperties()Ljava/util/Map;
