Getting "ClassNotFoundException: ResteasyBootstrap" and "ClassNotFoundException:SpringContextLoaderListenerexception"

Question

I am getting the following exception:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap

I have the following dependencies in my pom file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-spring</artifactId>
        <version>${resteasy.version}</version><!--$NO-MVN-MAN-VER$ -->
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0.GA</version>
    </dependency>  

I also see the resteasy-jaxrs-2.3.0.GA.jar in the WEB/INF/lib folder. Please let me know which dependency is missing. I also checked Getting "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" in Eclipse + jboss 5.1.0 and have all in place.

I also get the following error:

SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class          org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.spring.SpringContextLoaderListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.spring.SpringContextLoaderListener

Despite having the following dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-spring</artifactId>
        <version>${resteasy.version}</version>
    </dependency>

Answer 1

I finally solved it. The solution was simple. Right Click on the project and select 'Properties'. Under project properties, select 'Deployment Assembly'. Add Maven Dependency here. You need to tell Eclipse that you want all your Maven dependencies to be published too.
