Hi,
I have a web app that is built using maven 2.0.8. The application's
pom.xml contains following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.felix.framework</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
</dependency>
But felix, in turn, depends on a project defined in
javax.servlet-1.0.0.pom which subsequently makes a jar file called
javax.servlet-1.0.0.jar ending up in WEB-INF/lib together with
org.apache.felix.framework-1.2.1.jar.
When the web application starts and the servlet that launches felix gets
initialized, a ClassCastException is thrown saying that this servlet is
not a Servlet.. this is due to presence of javax.servlet-1.0.0.jar with
Servlet.class in WEB-INF/lib which comes in conflict with the one that's
provided by Tomcat.
Adding <scope>provided</scope> in my app's pom.xml doesn't make any
difference.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Is there any way around this?
Thanks a lot,
Maxim
