NoClassDefFoundError when using jaxrs

[John Mikhail]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to CXF and I'm trying to setup a simple REST service running
on tomcat.  I've gone through the documentation and built a simple service
that mirrors the howto (http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-rs-jsr-311.html).
I'm able to deploy my web app fine under tomcat (6.0.14) with spring.  So
everything seems fine.  I try to hit the service through the browser and all
I get is a NoClassDefFoundError, without even an indication as to what class
it can't find.  I'm using maven 2.0 to build my project, so I'm assuming
it's handling all the right dependencies for me.

I checked the source code very briefly, but couldn't find anything that
stood out.  Has anyone run into this issue before?  I've included everything
I could below.  Any help would be greatly appreciated:

Exception:

Service Class:

import javax.ws.rs.GET;

import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;

@Path("/fooService/")
public class FooService {

    private static final Logger LOG =
Logger.getLogger(FooService.class.getName());

  /**
   * Class Constructor
   */
  public FooService() {
    LOG.info("HERE");
  }

  @GET
  @Path("/foo/{id}/")
  public String getFoo(@PathParam("id") String fooName) {
      LOG.info("HERE1");
      return fooName;
  }
}

Spring configuration:

URL I'm Hitting:

Thank you very much,
