Fat jar from scala project throws error when run


I created Scala project using Maven as build tools. I try to build fat jar that later I will be able to run from command line. I wrote a program that use Keycloak library to create users with REST API. It works fine when I run it straight from the Intellij but when I compile and run jar it gives me following error which I assume is result of me misconfiguring maven and not including all required dependencies?

Exception in thread "main" javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: RESTEASY004655: Unable to invoke request: javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: RESTEASY003215: could not find writer for content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded type: javax.ws.rs.core.Form$1

And commands I am using to compile and run:

mvn clean compile assembly:single     

java -cp ./target/data-generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.generator.GeneratorApp

My experience with Maven is very limited (usually i was using SBT when working with Scala). I googled and searched through StackOverflow but I am stuck on this for some time now.

Let me know if you need any more details. I tried to include everything I thought is relevant.


Solution

  • In my case, to fix it, I had to include following dependencies in pom.xml:

        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
          <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
          <version>3.13.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
    
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
          <artifactId>resteasy-jaxb-provider</artifactId>
          <version>3.13.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
    
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
          <artifactId>resteasy-jackson2-provider</artifactId>
          <version>3.13.2.Final</version>
        </dependency>
    

    Not sure why I need it, I thought they would be included automatically based on my other dependencies (Keycloak), which makes me think that it is workaround not actual solution.
