AWS SQS: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonMerge?

I am trying to a message to SQS in my Java code as follows:

public void pushToSQS(){

    String queueURL = "https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/205135634997/myQueue.fifo";
    
    try {

        final AmazonSQS sqs = AmazonSQSClientBuilder.defaultClient();

        sqs.sendMessage(new SendMessageRequest(queueURL,
                "test message"));

    } catch (final AmazonServiceException e) {
        log.error("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

However at line: final AmazonSQS sqs = AmazonSQSClientBuilder.defaultClient();

I get the error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonMerge
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonMerge

I have added the following to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-models</artifactId>
            <version>1.11.86</version>
        </dependency>

Below are all the jackson dependencies in the project: enter image description here

In mvn dependency tree I can see:

What is causing this error?

Solution

  • Looks like you have jackson twice. Consider this:

    +- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-multipart-provider:jar:3.0.19.Final:provided
[INFO] \- org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-jackson2-provider:jar:3.0.19.Final:provided
[INFO]    +- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:jar:2.6.3:provided
[INFO]    +- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.6.3:provided
[INFO]    +- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:jar:2.6.3:provided
[INFO]    \- com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs:jackson-jaxrs-json-provider:jar:2.6.3:provided
[INFO]       +- com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs:jackson-jaxrs-base:jar:2.6.3:provided
[INFO]       \- com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-jaxb-annotations:jar:2.6.3:provided

    and this:

    [INFO] +- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.9.6:compile

    Please drop the top level dependency to com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.9.6 and see if it works.
