Question

I keep geting NoSuchMethodError for XmlSchemaCollection.read(Lorg/xml/sax/InputSource;), I found that there is problem in older versions of XMLSchema What happened to: org.apache.ws.commons.schema.XmlSchemaCollection.read(InputSource). I changed maven dependency but error keep repeating.

It might be that some other library is depending on older version of xmlschema-core. check

mvn dependency:tree

if you see xmlschema-core in dome other library as dependency, then try to exclude it by using exclusion on parent dependency see Dependency Exclusions
