Can somebody help? I searched on the Internet and I found that there is a file httpcore-xx.jar that must be placed in apache tomcat lib directory. I tried that but it didn't work. I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS and eclipse. I also tried to clean my Project and build again. It didn't work. What I'm facing is that the page is loading on the web Browser but when I click on services the previous error comes up. The tutorial I'm trying to implement is http://codeoncloud.blogspot.gr/2012/12/create-java-web-service-in-eclipse_3982.html

Answer 1

I had the same problem and successfully resolved it by copying xmlschema-core-*.jar form axis2-*/lib/ to my_project_root_directory/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/.

Answer 2

I'm trying to create a simple web service too (configured: Dynamic Web Module 2.5), using: - Tomcat 8.0 and - Axis2 1.7.4 (axis2-1.7.4-war).

I'm getting the following errors:

[WARN] Web application uses org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet; please update web.xml to use org.apache.axis2.webapp.AxisAdminServlet instead
[INFO] Clustering has been disabled
[WARN] Unable to instantiate deployer org.apache.axis2.deployment.ServiceDeployer; see debug logs for more details

The first problem was a [WARN]:

"[WARN] Web application uses org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet; please update web.xml to use org.apache.axis2.webapp.AxisAdminServlet instead"

Solution: I solved it updating web.xml as required.

---

The second problem was :

• java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/ws/commons/schema/resolver/URIResolver
• Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.ws.commons.schema.resolver.URIResolver

For some reason, when I created a new Dynamic Web Project configured with Axis2, the xmlschema-core-2.2.1.jar (axis2/WEB-INF/lib) was not imported to WebContent/WEB-INF/lib.

Solution: So I had to paste it there.

After that, other problem with jstl:

• This problem came up when I tried to login as a Admin on the WebService

abr 13, 2017 9:54:30 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application (...)

Solution:

I downloaded these jars: - taglibs-standard-impl-1.2.5.jar and - taglibs-standard-spec-1.2.5.jar

from tomcat.apache.org/download-taglibs.cgi

So I had to pasted them in the WebContent/WEB-INF/lib too.

that's all folks. I hope it help.
