Hi Luis, I'm sorry to say that if you use javaee-web-api on Tomcat, you will pull, among others, javax.transaction:javax.transaction-api:1.2 which contains, for example, javax.transaction.HeuristicCommitException and if you try to put resp.getWriter.println(HeuristicCommitException.class.getName()); your IDE won't complain but the servlet will throw a ClassNotFound exception at runtime.
This assuming javax.transaction.HeuristicCommitException is not brought by some other dependency. You will get the same result with many other dependencies of javaee-web-api. I actually performed the same experience with all 17 dependencies of javaee-web-api, selecting one arbitrary class and checking if it was found when deployed on tomcat, and I found that only the following should be included in a project which targets tomcat 8.5 / Java EE 7 <dependency> <groupId>javax.el</groupId> <artifactId>javax.el-api</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId> <version>3.1.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId> <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp-api</artifactId> <version>2.3.1</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.websocket</groupId> <artifactId>javax.websocket-api</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId> <artifactId>javax.annotation-api</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> Xavier 2018-05-09 18:17 GMT+02:00 Luis Rodríguez Fernández <uo67...@gmail.com>: > Hello Xavier, > > Perhaps you can have a look here: > https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Specifications. > > Me, I have: > > <dependency> > <groupId>javax</groupId> > <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId> > <version>7.0</version> > <scope>provided</scope> > </dependency> > > Hope it helps, > > Luis > > > > > > 2018-05-09 16:35 GMT+02:00 Xavier Dupont <xavier...@gmail.com>: > > > Hi guys. > > > > If I want to target the Java EE full profile, I use go here > > https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-api/8.0 and get the > > following XML snippet. > > > > <dependency> > > <groupId>javax</groupId> > > <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId> > > <version>8.0</version> > > <scope>provided</scope> > > </dependency> > > > > If I want to target the Java EE web profile, I use this url instead > > https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-web-api/8.0 > > > > And if I only need a subset of JSRs included in the javaee web profile, > > they are all nicely included in the list of compile dependencies, this is > > all very nice. > > > > Since tomcat only supports a subset of the web profile, which > dependencies > > should be added in maven ? > > > > Here's the full list for the Java EE 7 Web profile. > > > > javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2 > > javax.ejb:javax.ejb-api:3.2 > > javax.el:javax.el-api:3.0.0 > > javax.enterprise:cdi-api:1.1 > > javax.faces:javax.faces-api:2.2 > > javax.inject:javax.inject:1 > > javax.interceptor:javax.interceptor-api:1.2 > > javax.json:javax.json-api:1.0 > > javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0 > > javax.servlet.jsp:javax.servlet.jsp-api:2.3.1 > > javax.servlet.jsp.jstl:javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-api:1.2.1 > > javax.transaction:javax.transaction-api:1.2 > > javax.validation:validation-api:1.1.0.Final > > javax.websocket:javax.websocket-api:1.0 > > javax.ws.rs:javax.ws.rs-api:2.0 > > org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence:2.1.0 > > org.glassfish:javax.faces:2.2.0 > > > > I ask because I couldn't find the answer on the web, and it seems to me > > that many sources are actually quite wrong and how it should be done. > > I believe this should appear in a section of the tomcat documentation, at > > least for versions 6, 7, and 8 of Java EE, which Tomcat seems to track. > > > > Xavier. > > > > > > -- > > "Ever tried.
