[sharmasourabh]

Release: 2.0.0

Error- As soon you execute the jar file, you get following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidatorConfiguration.addValueExtractor(Ljavax/validation/valueextraction/ValueExtractor;)Ljavax/validation/Configuration;
        at io.dropwizard.validation.BaseValidator.newConfiguration(BaseValidator.java:27)
        at io.dropwizard.jersey.validation.Validators.newConfiguration(Validators.java:33)
        at io.dropwizard.jersey.validation.Validators.newValidatorFactory(Validators.java:26)
        at io.dropwizard.setup.Bootstrap.<init>(Bootstrap.java:64)
        at io.dropwizard.Application.run(Application.java:86)
        at BusinessAPI.main(BusinessAPI.java:51)

Workaround: Exclusion of 6.1.0.Final version and inclusion of 6.0.17.Final

@sharmasourabh Thanks for reporting this!

Could you please post your complete POM and the BusinessAPI class so we can try to reproduce the issue?

App Class: (Above I have shared the logs of BusinessAPI class, below class also produce the same error.

Problem is that javax.validation:validation-api-1.1.0-Final.jar and jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api-2.0.2.jar are both on your classpath, they have classes in the same namespace(javax.validation) and older version of the class, one which doesn't have methods present in the latest version, is being loaded by the classloader.

You'll have to exclude javax.validation from your classpath, it's coming from swagger-models

[sharmasourabh]

Thanks @j4n1!
Exclusion of validation-api from swagger-core fixed the prob. No issue with dropwizard 2.0. My gotcha!

    </dependency>

[mrtheb]

For bystanders ending up here, this has been fixed in swagger-core v2.1.2 from https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/pull/3467 so the exclusion shouldn't be needed anymore.
