Hello everyone, Recently started to look into how to develop a RESTful web service using JAX-RS api provided by CXF framework. I have developed a simple test web service using as guideline the following tutorial: http://www.javatips.net/blog/2012/02/cxf-restful-tutorial
I can easily deploy my application on Tomcat 7 and it works without a glitch. My problem start when I try to get it working on WebSphere (v7 FP13). here is the a fragment of my original log [6/24/13 15:41:45:608 BST] 00000018 ContextLoader E org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'cxf' 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.bus.spring.SpringBus]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is org.apache.cxf.bus.extension.ExtensionException: Could not load extension class org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.AssertionBuilderRegistryImpl. at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.instantiateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:964) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBeanInstance(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:910) ... Caused by: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: org.apache.neethi.AssertionBuilderFactory at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:275) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:69) I have tried to configure WAS it as explained below but nothing has changed.: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/application-server-specific-configuration-guide.html#ApplicationServerSpecificConfigurationGuide-ForWebSphere6.1.0.29%2CV7andV8 in short it is suggested to 1) Change the class loader order to "Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last)" 2) Disable the IBM web service engine (either for the JVM as a whole or for the particular module) I maybe wrong but what it is suggested above seems to be specific for CXF JAX-WS, does anyone know if it is a valid solution also for CXF JAX-RS ? I have also done the following attempt: - I have removed jars from my application (I mean from RestfulTest.war\WEB-INF\lib\) - I have created a shared library (from web sphere console) and referenced the shared library from my application. - I have added the required jars one by one trying to understand where the problem is. Currently my jars are: cxf-2.7.3.jar httpasyncclient-4.0-beta3.jar httpclient-4.2.1.jar httpcore-4.2.2.jar httpcore-nio-4.2.2.jar neethi-3.0.2.jar spring-aop-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-asm-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-beans-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-context-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-core-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-expression-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-web-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar stax2-api-3.1.1.jar woodstox-core-asl-4.2.0.jar -- Gaetano Ciotola UK +44 7880586782 ____________________________________________________________________ It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.
