Glassfish 4.1 have hk2-locator library installed. Why such error ?

Answer 1

It looks like your project or something that its using needs that class and probably the containing jar has its scope set to provided.

If you'r using maven try to add hk2-locator-2.1.9.jar to your project:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.hk2/hk2-locator/2.1.9

or

add the jar to glassfish4/glassfish/domains/yourdomain/lib and restart the server.

if using maven to check if Your project is using it run:

mvn dependency:tree
