I just hit the same issue with JBoss RestEasy. We have an embedded
server (not EE class, a simple servlet with some web services
exposed), but RestEasy relies on annotations in jaxrs
(javax.annotation.*, javax.ws.rs.*). I tried to somehow make it work,
but failed so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from my
investigation of this list archives it seems that it's impossible to
simply "add" the JAR with the missing annotations to classpath? I need
to compile those annotations to a module and then add the module,
right?
Right, no splitting of package javax.annotation between the class path
and module java.annotations.common (the Java SE subset of the JSR-250
defined "Common Annotations"). To upgrade/override this to the EE
version means requires deploying the EE version as a module
-upgrademodulepath.
As you've read in the various threads, we are trying to get to the point
where the 6 modules shared with Java EE are not resolved by default.
When we get there then you should be able to put a JAR file on the class
path with javax.annotation.* types and it should work as there will be
no overlapping with packages in modules. Alternatively, deploy the EE
version of module java.annotations.common on the module path, that will
work too.
