Same problem with SpringBoot 3.1.1 and SpringCloud 2022.0.3

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Field optionalArgs in org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.EurekaClientAutoConfiguration$RefreshableEurekaClientConfiguration required a bean of type 'com.netflix.discovery.AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:
	- @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)


Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'com.netflix.discovery.AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs' in your configuration.

However i tried this eureka client cloned from here: repository
The service registers correctly and works. The versions are the same.

Same problem here, also with Spring boot 3.1.1 and Spring Cloud 2022.0.3

Same problem here.. any solution

Same problem

@HJK181 are you sure that is ok to change @ConditionalOnMissingClass to @ConditionalOnClass

@Shapoval1van For our purpose as both classes are on the classpath it's enough. However, we only use Eureka for local development ... I doubt that this is a reasonable general-purpose fix ...

@HJK181 I see that exist some Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs here but I can not find a source.

@Shapoval1van The auto-configuration happens inside the spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client: https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/v4.0.3/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/config/DiscoveryClientOptionalArgsConfiguration.java#L67

There you can see that the default RestTemplateDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs is not configured when you have org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClient on the classpath. My workaround above configures the default behavior even though JerseyClient is on the classpath, as I didn't want a discovery client based on Jersey but on RestTemplate. However, if you want a Jersey discovery client, there is Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs which is shipped as part of com.netflix.eureka:eureka-client-jersey3 dependency. However, that dependency is only shipped as part of spring-cloud-starter-netflix-server and not when you actually need it in spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client

I have nothing more than what I’ve posted in the issue description. What is the exact error you get?

My workaround only works if you have JerseyClient and RestTemplate on your classpath. Are you sure the letter is on the classpath as well?

We long have assumed that if you have jersey on the classpath then that is what you want to use for eureka since that is the default from Netflix and spring cloud changed our default to RestTemplate.

Maybe adding some documentation to https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/docs/current/reference/html/#eurekaclient-with-jersey

Not sure what else to do.

If you would like us to look at this issue, please provide the requested information. If the information is not provided within the next 7 days this issue will be closed.

I don’t know what more feedback I could provide. Everything is described in the ticket, even a necessary workaround. For me the better solution on a clash of the two classes would be to have a property that when set, ignores Jersey on the classpath for every auto configuration checking it class presents.

Spring 3.2.1 and Spring Cloud 2023.0.0 still have the same problem

Adding my findings from another bug that I created, missing this one

Related: #4177

When jeresey-client lib is present on the class path, in my case via spring-boot-starter-jeresey, application startup will fail with

Further analysis

To use JereseyClient with eureka, the eureka-client-jeresey3 library must be present on the class path. Suggestion: change conditionals from org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClient to, for example,
com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.jersey3.EurekaJersey3Client

Eureka Server, which depends on the eureka-client-jeresey3 publishes two beans

import com.netflix.discovery.AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs;
import com.netflix.discovery.Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs;
import com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.jersey.TransportClientFactories;
import com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.jersey3.Jersey3TransportClientFactories;

@Bean
@ConditionalOnMissingBean(AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs.class)
public Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs() {
    return new Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs();
}

@Bean
@ConditionalOnMissingBean(TransportClientFactories.class)
public Jersey3TransportClientFactories jersey3TransportClientFactories() {
    return Jersey3TransportClientFactories.getInstance();
}

So even if eureka-client-jeresey3 and jeresey-client are present, application will still fail to start unless those two beans are also published.

any update, the issue fixed ?

Same problem

I'm having the same issue.

As I understand, the issue seems to be a lack of a com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.jersey.TransportClientFactories bean and com.netflix.discovery.Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs bean, when org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClient is on the classpath. Can the solution simply be to declare these in org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.config.DiscoveryClientOptionalArgsConfiguration?

Something along these lines:

    @ConditionalOnClass(name = "org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClient")
    protected static class Jersey3ClientConfiguration {

        @Bean
        @ConditionalOnMissingBean(value = { AbstractDiscoveryClientOptionalArgs.class }, search = SearchStrategy.CURRENT)
        public Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs() {
            return new Jersey3DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs();
        }
        
        @Bean
        @ConditionalOnMissingBean(value = TransportClientFactories.class, search = SearchStrategy.CURRENT)
        public Jersey3TransportClientFactories jersey3TransportClientFactories() {
            return Jersey3TransportClientFactories.getInstance();
        }
    }
