Listing SQL Server Instances on Azure

I'm trying to implement code that uses the Azure Java SDK to list the SQL Server instances running on my Azure subscription.

I followed the examples posted and wrote the following code:

Azure azure  = Azure.authenticate(credentials)).withDefaultSubscription();
SqlServers sqlServers = azure.sqlServers();
PagedList<SqlServer> list = sqlServers.list();

But the last line throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError with the following stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeBindings.create(Ljava/lang/Class;[Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JavaType;)Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/type/TypeBindings;

This obviously looks like a defect as the SDK allows to do that and should return a reasonable error code if something goes wrong.

Still, is there any other way to list the SQL Server instances running in my Azure subscription? Or perhaps I'm doing something in my code?

Solution

Problem solved!

The error came from an incompatibility between the Azure SDK and the jackson-databind library. One of the methods used from this library is relatively new, and the version I had in my project (clean project with just one import - Azure SDK) did not have this method.

Imported the latest jackson-databind as follows:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
        <version>2.9.5</version>
</dependency>

Has solved the problem.

Thanks Everyone for the help.
