java.lang.IllegalArgumentException caused by javax.servlet.ServletException: Error allocating a servlet instance

Question

I receive the following error when I try to access my localhost "Webpage". Before I try to access the site, no error occurs. I use Tomcat Embed Core Version 8.5.11, Jersey servlet container v.2.26 and Java 10. I have no clue where it comes from.

Does this answer your question? [Jersey 2.32 IllegalArgumentException jersey.repackaged.org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64309183) - indeed - looks similar.

You need to use a newer version of Jersey when running on Java 10 (at minimum 2.27). As an aside, Java 10 went out of support back in 2018. I'd recommend using a Java version that is actively supported, like Java 8 (old-style LTS), Java 11 (LTS), Java 17 (LTS) or Java 18 (support ends in September 2022 when Java 19 is released) — Mark Rotteveel, Jul 14 '22 at 12:31
