Re: lib in .aar ignored?

[Anthony Bull]

What this generally means is that something in your service is loading a class from a jar in axis2/WEB-INF/lib, and then looking for the jars that are inside your AAR which it can't find because it loaded in the axis2 classloader not your web service classloader. I've successfully got around this in my setup by making sure there are no spring, jdbc drivers or other such jars in axis2/WEB-INF/lib, and I don't follow the Spring examples on the Axis 2 site, as it doesn't work with the relational mapping library I'm using (iBatis sqlmaps). The only time you will run in to problems with the WEB-INF/lib approach is if you want to have multiple web services that use different versions of jar files (as I need to) - in this case you need to have everything encapsulated in the AAR file.  I also found it difficult to get multiple web services logging independently of each other when having everything in the WEB-INF/lib folder too. David Ojeda wrote: Hello, I had the same problem, and eventually found the same solution as well. The only jars that I am including within the aar are the ones that contain my xmlbeans files (*.xsb). Also, if I drop these xsb-jars in WEB-INF/lib I get some exceptions. Sorry, but I don't remember exactly which exceptions.

However, I get a NoClassDefFound error using this approach. It goes away if I drop the files into axis2/WEB-INF/lib. Does anyone have any advice? _____________________________________________________________ Stephen Kilburn GeoPraxis Inc.
