javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.getStatus() not found

Question

I am working with an embedded Jetty server, deploying a Jersey REST api, and I am trying to log the errors, with log4J. When an error happens, for instance a URL not found, and the console log shows the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.getStatus()I

And the server initialization code:

ServletContextHandler servletContextHandler = new ServletContextHandler();
ResourceConfig resourceConfig = new ResourceConfig();
resourceConfig.register(MultiPartFeature.class);
resourceConfig.register(GsonMessageBodyHandler.class);
resourceConfig.register(PrivateAPI.class);
resourceConfig.register(MalformedURLExceptionMapper.class);
ServletContainer sc = new ServletContainer(resourceConfig);
ServletHolder holder = new ServletHolder(sc);
servletContextHandler.addServlet(holder, "/*");


Server server = new Server(new InetSocketAddress(args[0], Integer.parseInt(args[1])));
HandlerCollection handlerCollection = new HandlerCollection();

handlerCollection.setHandlers(new Handler[] {servletContextHandler, new RequestLogHandler(), new DefaultHandler()});
server.setHandler(handlerCollection);
server.start();
server.join();

You have a really old servlet-api jar present in your project.

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse#getStatus() was added in Servlet 3.0

Add the following:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Dump your dependencies and verify that you don't have multiple versions of the servlet-api jars present (this is common, as the maven coordinate space for the servlet-api jars have changed a few times over the past 10 years)

$ mvn dependency:tree

I had the same problem while I was running tests with MockMvc. I was using javax.servlet-api in my library, which was a dependency in my microservice. I changed scope from compile to provided. Now it is working.

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
  <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
  <version>2.5</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
