Jersey Framework - java.lang.IllegalStateException: InjectionManagerFactory not found.

I have used Jersey Framework for RESTful web services development. I encountered the following error when I tried to upgrade it from 2.25 to 2.26

java.lang.IllegalStateException: InjectionManagerFactory not found.

Solution 

After a hard struggle and searching over the internet, I had found the solution. I have to add the following dependency to the maven file

        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.inject</groupId>
          <artifactId>jersey-hk2</artifactId>
          <version>2.26</version>
    </dependency>

    The InjectionManagerFactory not found error is a good example of how a framework upgrade can expose dependency-level changes even when the application code itself has not changed. In Jersey 2.26, the initialization stack trace points directly into Jersey's injection infrastructure, so checking the complete set of Jersey modules and ensuring that compatible versions are present is an important part of troubleshooting the upgrade.
    This kind of issue is especially relevant when building REST APIs with JAX-RS because the framework, servlet container, dependency injection layer, and application resources all need to work together consistently. A JAX-RS ReactJS Full Stack Developer Course can provide practical exposure to developing REST services and integrating them with a modern frontend.

    The stack trace also illustrates why dependency management should be treated as part of the application architecture rather than simply a build configuration concern. When moving between Jersey versions, validating transitive dependencies and the runtime classpath can prevent initialization failures before deployment. A JAX-RS NextJS Full Stack Developer Course is relevant for developers working with JAX-RS APIs alongside Next.js-based applications and modern full-stack architectures.
