Problem
After upgrading to IBM WebSphere Update 8.5.5.12, startup errors occur due to initialization error of the Jersey (JAX-RS) v.1.17.1 libraries, failing to setup the REST endpoints.
Reason
The the reason for the problem is that the initialization phase of the Jersey (v1.17.1), is accessing the java:comp/BeanManager from JNDI.
In the IBM WebSphere 8.5.5.12 Update, the fix APR PI66630 UnsatisfiedResolutionException thrown in non-CDI environment , changes the behaviour and returns an object of javax.naming.Reference, instead of previously throwing an UnsatisfiedResolutionException. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg1PI66630)
This causes a java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference incompatible with javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager in the class com.sun.jersey.server.impl.cdi.CDIComponentProviderFactory constructor which is not caught, breaking the Jersey initialization, stopping the subsequent initialization to progress.
See: https://github.com/jersey/jersey-1.x/blob/1.19.3/jersey-servlet/src/main/java/com/sun/jersey/server/impl/cdi/CDIComponentProviderFactory.java#L90
The change in code involved capturing the exception and logging the problem, however still continuing with other initialization, invoked from https://github.com/jersey/jersey-1.x/blob/1.19.3/jersey-servlet/src/main/java/com/sun/jersey/spi/container/servlet/WebComponent.java#L572
