Jira REST plugin does not work after upgrade to 10.3.5 - Could not find a suitable constructor

Haoyu Zhang

After upgrading to 10.3.5, all my REST plugins stop working.

I did not change any code, and my plugin was referring to this doc: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/rest-plugin-module/#rest-plugin-module

The error message is below, looks like it's the JAX-RS issue that could not initialize the constructor. I looked over stackoverflow, that said this error happens when annotations were added to interface rather than actual classes, but I did not do it and only follow Jira official documents.

A MultiException has 1 exceptions.  They are:
1. java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Could not find a suitable constructor in com.***.plugin.ProjectRoleActions class.

Thank you @MattD, we got this problem finally resolved by reviewing this document: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-rest/src/master/README.md

@Haoyu Zhang please show me how you fixed it

@trung2204 Here is a solution doc to this question

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-rest/src/master/UPGRADE_720.md#problem-1-nosuchmethodexception-could-not-find-a-suitable-constructor-in-class

You might possibly need to refer to other parts of the documentation as well.

Problem 1 - NoSuchMethodException : Could not find a suitable constructor in ... class.

Problem

NoSuchMethodException : Could not find a suitable constructor in ... class.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Could not find a suitable constructor in com.atlassian.healthcheck.core.rest.HealthCheckResource class.<br>    
at org.glassfish.jersey.inject.hk2.JerseyClassAnalyzer.getConstructor(JerseyClassAnalyzer.java:168)<br>    ...

Solution

1. Add javax.inject dependency to the POM, ideally it should be managed by the Platform

<dependency><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<groupId>jakarta.inject</groupId><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<artifactId>jakarta.inject-api</artifactId><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<scope>provided</scope><br>
</dependency>

2. Add @Inject annotation to the constructor in the resource class to inject the beans.

import javax.inject.Inject;<br>...<br><br>@Path("/hello")<br>
public class HelloWorld {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@Inject // Add @Inject annotation<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;public HelloWorld(UserManager userManager) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this.userManager = userManager;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>}

Spring @Autowired annotation clarification

REST v1:

In REST v1 it is possible to use Spring @Autowired annotation or @Autowired annotation could be omitted and Spring will use that constructor and inject all necessary dependencies. More can be found here: Spring injects dependencies in constructor without @Autowired annotation.

REST v2:

The NoSuchMethodException will be thrown if the the resource method is annotated with Spring @Autowired annotation.
The @Autowired annotation is no longer supported and should be migrated to the @Inject annotation.
@Autowired is Spring specific and @javax.inject.Inject is part of a standard (Java EE / Jakarta EE - JSR-330). It's better to rely on the standard rather than on the specific implementation. It allows the use of other dependency injection libraries.
Dependency injection is managed by Jersey and HK2, dependency: org.glassfish.jersey.inject:jersey-hk2.
@Inject annotation needs to be added, otherwise there will be an exception mentioned in the description of this problem (java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Could not find a suitable constructor in ... class).
