The class might be in the JAR, but are you sure the JAR is part of the deployed package? Check that. Do you have the Maven shade plug-in to create a fat deployable JAR for you? — duffymo, Sep 26 '17 at 12:32
i am using Maven to create a war file which i then place in my deploy folder... i am guessing this is what you mean. — PogUnited_H, Sep 26 '17 at 13:19
The java class RuntimeDelegate is found WEBINF/lib/javax.ws.rs-api-2.0.1 — PogUnited_H, Sep 26 '17 at 13:21
@duffymo yes, i can see the JAR in WEB-INF/lib as javax.ws.rs-api-2.0.1.jar — PogUnited_H, Sep 26 '17 at 14:42
"I am trying to deploy my REST API on Server": what server are using? And why are you mixing libraries from different vendors (CXF and Jersey)? — ujulu, Sep 26 '17 at 19:02
i am using JOnAS v5.3. i googled the error and was trying different things in hopes of solving this issue — PogUnited_H, Sep 27 '17 at 08:48
Can you please post the stacktrace. `NoClassDefFoundError` might point to some incorrect configuration too. There will be a caused by in stacktrace which might help. — Gautam, Sep 28 '17 at 08:55
@Gautam i posted the stacktrace and found the Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate not found by org.apache.cxf.bundle not sure where this bundle is — PogUnited_H, Sep 28 '17 at 15:29
@Gautam i am not using cxf, i only added the dependency to try ii as when trying to fix the issue someone said that this dependency will fix it. I think JOnAS has cxf built in i found the jar in repositories/maven2-internal — PogUnited_H, Sep 29 '17 at 16:07

Just remove unwanted dependency and add the below dependency in your pom.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-common</artifactId>
    </dependency>

It is tested with spring-boot. Indeed, working without any issues at compile time and at runtime also.

This is right. jersey-common contains the implementation of RuntimeDelegate. You can even make it a runtime dependency. – Martin Charlesworth Feb 17 '23 at 13:57
