NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/xml/StaxUtils

[jll]

Hello,

I'm getting a "no class found" exceptions while trying to unmarshall XML with JAXB2 in my spring-ws service:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/xml/StaxUtils
	at org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller.unmarshal(Jaxb2Marshaller.java:577)
	at org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller.unmarshal(Jaxb2Marshaller.java:568)
	at com.bnpparibasfortis.risk.training.ws.CreateNaturalPersonEndpoint.invokeInternal(CreateNaturalPersonEndpoint.java:36)
...

Here is the relevant fragment of my spring-ws-servlet.xml:

    <bean id="createNaturalPersonEndpoint" class="com.bnpparibasfortis.risk.training.ws.CreateNaturalPersonEndpoint">
        <property name="marshaller" ref="xmlMarshaller"/>
        <property name="unmarshaller" ref="xmlMarshaller"/>
        <property name="dao" ref="genericDao"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="xmlMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
        <property name="classesToBeBound">
            <list>
                <value>com.bnpparibasfortis.risk.training.xml.CreateNaturalPersonRequest</value>
                <value>com.bnpparibasfortis.risk.training.xml.CreateNaturalPersonResponse</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

...and an extract of my pom.xml:

                
        <dependency>

        </dependency>

I have looked inside spring-2.5.6.jar and I see several classes in the org/springframework/util/xml folder (DomUtils, SimpleSaxErrorHandler, SimpleTransformErrorListener, TransformerUtils and XmlValidationModeDetector) but alas no StaxUtils.

Help ?

StaxUtils seems to be introduced since 3.0 and is therefore not available in Spring 2.5.6. Try updating the version of spring-core to 3.0.5 in your pom.xml.

Indeed, thanks !

Don't mix spring versions... Currently you are mixing 2.5 and 3.0 whereas spring-ws 1.5 doesn't work welll with spring 3 (due to the oxm stuff)..

So either use 2.5 with spring-ws 1.5.x or use spring 3 with spring-ws 2.0.x..

With spring-ws 2.0.0-M1 I get an error I read about somewhere else on the web:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.setId(Ljava/lang/String;)V
	at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:431)
	at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:459)

OTOH, spring-oxm is available from Maven Central only starting at 3.0.*

The older versions of spring-oxm are available under org/springframework/ws/spring-oxm (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/sp...ws/spring-oxm/). As suggested above, try not to mix up versions of spring jars, as it leads to missing dependencies.

[Marten Deinum]

Also Spring ws 2.0 is final and I suggest a read of this blog..

But in general don't mix spring versions, that is trouble bound to happen. So as I stated either stay with your Spring ws 1.5 and spring 2.5 stack or use spring ws 2.0 and spring 3.0. Other combinations are troublesome.

Thanks everybody, I got my dependencies right and it works now.

I am getting this same error with these dependencies.
Any Ideas?
