Problems integrating CXF and Grails
I am using Grails framework in conjunction with CXF and I am getting the following error trying to instantiate a SOAP interface to the remote service: Message: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.cxf.wsdl.WSDLManager' defined in class path resource [META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.cxf.wsdl.WSDLManager' defined in class path resource [META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory Does anyone know what could be a problem? Seems like a conflicting jar problem but what jar ? Alex.

Hi Alex, CXF need to use XercesImpl 2.8.1.jar. Please make sure this jar be loaded first. Willem.

Re: Problems integrating CXF and Grails
Hi Alex , We use 2.8.1 on the development environment , you can try out the 2.9.1 but I don't test it yet. Willem.

Re: Problems integrating CXF and Grails
Thanks, Willem for your help! Eventually, Xerces was not the only problem. BTW, Grails 1.0RC3 comes with Xerces 2.9.0 and CXF works fine with that version. The problem I described occurred when I tried to move Xerces jar out of CP. When I added Xerceces jar back to the CP, I was getting a different error. It is the same one as described here: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-use-CXF-with-Grails--to14475535.html#a14475535 At the end of the thread I posted my solution. But as I mentioned in the thread I am not sure what might be the side-effects. For now it works and I will see how far I can take it :-) Alex.
