I am using maven to set up a simple REST webservice and deploying it to tomcat. Unfortunately I am not well versed in spring (enough to be dangerous), and I can not get a NamespaceHandler for the jaxrs namespace. Unfortunately there is no mention of the jaxrs namespace on this page http://cxf.apache.org/docs/schemas-and-namespaces.html. I suspect my spring.handlers is incorrected based on this error:
ERROR org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/myRestService]- Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs] Any guidance with respect to locating the correct NamespaceHandler or modification to the beans.xml is greatly appreciated.
