NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonStreamContext

I’m trying to bump the jackson version number from 2.8.6 to 2.9.8 and it is just not working the way it is supposed to work.

It’s giving this error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonStreamContext.<init>(II)V

Don’t know why com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.valueToTree(ObjectMapper.java:2798) is throwing the error. Did the implementation change?

@raj206 You seem to be running different (incompatible) versions of jackson-core and jackson-databind. Ideally minor versions should be the same, but minor version of jackson-core MUST be at least that of jackson-databind.

So: make sure jackson-core also has version 2.9.8 (as well as jackson-annotations). Otherwise method that jackson-databind 2.9 has been complied against is not present in implementation.

@mihingo No that is definitely an error with incompatible versions of components. Sometimes that is due to simply wrong set of jars, sometimes more than one instance of specific component (with different versions).

But looking at pom.xml is not enough; with Maven, try mvn dependency:tree to see actually versions being used. Or when building a deployment packge, what jars are actually included in uber-jar, war or tar.
