I'm updating a project and am having one final issue. When I run "mvn clean install" I get a bunch of errors for all of the java classes used. I get hundreds of errors like "package javax.servlet does not exist". My update was to take an existing project and update all libraries, the version of java, eclipse, wildfly, etc.

The project compiles and runs within Eclipse, but fails when I do the mvn clean install. There must be something I am missing to tell mvn that all of the jdk classes are provided at run time.

Eclipse 2022-3
Wildfly 25.0.1
OpenJDK 17

Is there something I need to add to the mvn command line, or to my pom.xml or something?

Here is the portion of the mvn clean install that is relevant.

My project is comprised of 4 sub projects. There is an API project, an EJB project and a WEB project all built into an EAR project. Each has it's own POM as below. I understand that there may be some issues with all of this as the person who put all of this together is no longer with the company and I know I've missed some things when doing this upgrade.

The API POM.

We also need to see the parent POMs of those projects.

Are those the real Maven coordinates (groupId and artifactId) or did you censor them? If those are the original coordinates, then you might want to consider renaming them to something sensible.

If you did censor them, please do so consistently. For instance, I see you named you web app project cccccc-web in one file, but you refer tonit as dddd-web in another. We need to be able to reproduce your build.

P.S. You are right. I didn't censor as well as I should. I didn't realize that you were going to try to reproduce anything. I thought it would just be more of a visual review looking for issues.

Okay well, it seems to me that the problem is simply that your web project doesn't declare a dependency on the Servlet API.

Use one of the following coordinates, depending on the version of the Servlet API you want to use.

You won't be able to use a version newer than 4.0.3 without changing a lot of code, because in version 4.0.4 all the packages were renamed from javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet.

Thank you, however, I've already gone down this path. Adding the dependency you mentioned only fixes one of the issues. I've added the top of the new set of errors output by mvn below.

The problem is that I would need to add new dependencies for all of the javax classes I've used. As you can see, now I need to handle javax.xml, javax.persistence, javax.servlet.jsp, etc. And those are just the beginning.

I was hoping to find a way to add a general dependency to handle all of the JDK classes. My previous mvn build before I updated my project didn't need to add each JDK class as a dependency.

First, make sure that Wildfly version 25 does in fact work with Jakarta EE and NOT Java EE. Java EE was the original Sun/Oracle Enterprise Edition spec, Jakarta EE is the post-Oracle Enterprise spec. To the best of my knowledge an EE server runs with one or the other but cannot run with both.

The "javax" classes are not part of the core JDK. They are part of Java EE and every reference to the Java EE classes has to be re-mapped to the jakarta package space when migrating from Java EE to Jakarta EE.

Hopefully someone wrote a tool to do the project source code conversions in bulk for a project. I did something similar recently for a project that had packages renamed, but not to jakarta.

Ah. I see. The switch from java EE to Jakarta EE was not something I was aware of. I'll have to look into that and see what the implications are.

Needless to say, updating legacy applications to enhance security is not a trivial task.

Thank you for your help. I think there is more I need to do at a general level before trying to sort things out the detail level.

The biggest impact is the renaming of all the packages. And of course, the whole subsystem's new name: "Jakarta EE". Jakarta itself has a long and storied history at the Apache project where it spawned (among other things), the Tomcat webapp server.

Tomcat switches to Jakarta at Tomcat 10. I've been dreading the migration, since it has massive downstream effects when working with web frameworks such as JSF implementation libraries (JSF was JEE and has moved to Jakarta EE but not all providers have done so yet, I think), and Spring Boot.

I'm relatively certain that it's the Preview version of Wildfly 26 that made the switch to Jakarta EE. Wildfly 25 should be fine with the Java EE classes.

Really, there really aren't *that* many API dependencies to add to the project, but if you don't want to, I believe you can also just add one dependency that includes all the APIs of the entire Java EE platform:

I'm surprised that the application built before you started maintaining it. The Java EE APIs are not included by default, and the project should already have made a reference to those APIs for it to build successfully.

2 things:

First, it turns out that the javax - javaee-api dependency was in the old version of the POM, but it had been taken out by "those who came before". Thank you for pointing this out.

Second, now the project almost builds. The only unresolved packages now are javax.xml.bind, javax.xml.bind.annotation, and javax.xml.soap


I don't suppose that you know the dependencies I need to add to cover those? The maven setup in the project might not be correct, but if I can get it to build and it tests out OK, then this might just do the trick.

Thanks in advance.

The javax.xml packages used to be part of the base JDK (not the EE devkit). That is no longer true.

The best Maven replacements depend on what version of Java EE or Jakarta EE you are building for, so here's a link:

You guys are awesome.

You have lead me down the right path and my project is building into an ear now.

Next comes testing.
