Jersey 3.1.9: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: jakarta.inject.Inject.value()

[mkarg]

When bootstrapping Jersey 3.1.9 on Java SE 17 I came across this exception logged, which IMHO makes no sense to log at all:

org.glassfish.jersey.model.Parameter getValue
FINER: Unable to get the jdk.proxy2.$Proxy27 annotation value property

The reason for this exception is that @jakarta.inject.Inject does not have a method called value, but Jersey apparently expects to find it, as shown in the source code:

jersey/core-common/src/main/java/org/glassfish/jersey/model/Parameter.java

Lines 450 to 464 in aafb9c4

	private static String getValue(Annotation a) {
	try {
	Method m = a.annotationType().getMethod("value");
	if (m.getReturnType() != String.class) {
	return null;
	}
	return (String) m.invoke(a);
	} catch (Exception ex) {
	if (LOGGER.isLoggable(Level.FINER)) {
	LOGGER.log(Level.FINER,
	String.format("Unable to get the %s annotation value property", a.getClass().getName()), ex);
	}
	}
	return null;
	}

It is not a bug nor an exceptional case that an annotation does not have a value method, so I wonder what the benefit of logging this quite normal case shall have? It is quite normal to not find that method.

BTW, as exception handling is slow in Java, it might be a performance improvement to first check the result of getMethods() before actually requesting the value method.
