Description:
An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.startInternal(AuthenticatorBase.java:1321)
The following method did not exist:
'java.lang.String javax.servlet.ServletContext.getVirtualServerName()'
The method's class, javax.servlet.ServletContext, is available from the following locations: jar:file:/app/libs/endpoints-management-control-appengine-all-1.0.12.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.class jar:file:/app/libs/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.36.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.classThe class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations: javax.servlet.ServletContext: file:/app/libs/endpoints-management-control-appengine-all-1.0.12.jarAction:Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of javax.servlet.ServletContext

how to reproduce

With any google endpoints project,

install jib plugin

 <plugin>
<groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jib-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0</version>
<configuration>
<to>
<image>gcr.io/${endpoints.project.id}/endpoints-container</image>
</to>
</configuration>
</plugin>

install latest endpoints-framework dependencies

<!-- Compile/runtime dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.endpoints</groupId>
<artifactId>endpoints-framework</artifactId>
<version>${endpoints.framework.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- [START api_management] -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.endpoints</groupId>
<artifactId>endpoints-management-control-appengine-all</artifactId>
<version>1.0.12</version>
</dependency>
<!-- [END api_management] -->

Run mvn clean install && mvn compile jib:dockerBuild && PORT=8080 && docker run --rm -p 9090:${PORT} -e PORT=${PORT} gcr.io/some-gcp-project-id/endpoints-container

Alternatively, run the same command after cloning https://github.com/aubrey-y/java-docs-samples/tree/run-endpoints-broken/run/endpoints-v2-backend, which is pretty much already minimum reproducible.

what ive tried

manually excluding pre-packaged servlet-api

<!-- Compile/runtime dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.endpoints</groupId>
<artifactId>endpoints-framework</artifactId>
<version>${endpoints.framework.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<!-- [START api_management] -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.endpoints</groupId>
<artifactId>endpoints-management-control-appengine-all</artifactId>
<version>1.0.12</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<!-- [END api_management] -->

result: same error
