springsws + ibm websphere 6.1 = java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError

[whisper]

Hi!

I read the tutorial about Spring Web Services and all code is from there.
I'm using Spring-Ws v1.5.9, WebSphere v6.1.0.25 and Rational Application Developer v7.5.3. I read the FAQ about the WebSphere solution and I still have a problem.

These libraries are in my EAR:

jaxen-1.1.1.jar
jdom-1.1.jar
saaj-api-1.3.jar
saaj-impl-1.3.2.jar
spring-aop-2.5.6.jar
spring-beans-2.5.6.jar
spring-context-2.5.6.jar
spring-core-2.5.6.jar
spring-web-2.5.6.jar
spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar
spring-ws-core-1.5.9.jar
spring-xml-1.5.9.jar
wsdl4j-1.6.1.jar
xalan-2.7.1.jar
xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
xml-apis-1.3.04.jar

In application.xml, on tab Deployment, EAR is set to PARENT_LAST, MODULE=WAR, WAR is set to PARENT_LAST.
I know that I'm getting error java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError beacuse of the xerces library.

Complete error trace:

Anyone has a solution?

Thanks.

Solved the problem

These libraries must be included:

// libraries from spring-ws-1.5.9
jaxen-1.1.1.jar
jdom-1.1.jar
saaj-api-1.3.jar
saaj-impl-1.3.2.jar
spring-aop-2.5.6.jar
spring-beans-2.5.6.jar
spring-context-2.5.6.jar
spring-core-2.5.6.jar
spring-web-2.5.6.jar
spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar
spring-ws-core-1.5.9.jar
spring-xml-1.5.9.jar
stax-api-1.0-2.jar
wsdl4j-1.6.1.jar

// below are libraries from apache xalan project
serializer.jar
xalan.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar
xsltc.jar

In the code snippet you included, you listed five jars you stated are from the apache xalan project. Does this mean you also had to include those jars in your application? If so, what versions of those libraries did you use?

i use spring source tool suite to develop my project. i have a parent pom with two modules for (ear and war ) . the war is a set of restful web services built using spring WS . i have to package it as an ear and deploy it in webpshere app server 6.1 . I am not sure how to generate or write the ibm binding files . is it first of all required ( ibm-web-bind.xmi and ibm-web-ext.xmi files ) .
