NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xml/serialize/OutputFormat

Question

My application cannot find OutputFormat even though I have included the xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar in my .M2 folder.

I am able to view the class file.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be? Am I using an incorrect version?

Answer 1

The Tomcat config in my Intellij was not set up correctly. The exploded war file did not have the xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar. I added it to my 'endorsed' folder in Tomcat and it now works.
