My intention here was to create a demo Java Web Services using Spring and CXF that will run on top of TomEE.
Following JCavallotti <http://jcavallotti.blogspot.com/2012/08/apache-cxf-working-with-spring.html?showComment=1366671728753#c7123846734711693390> 's tutorial I have managed to deploy a demo app on top of Tomcat 7. However I am still unable to run it on top of TomEE. I used manual brute force to mitigate my jar dependencies (which means I am not using Maven or Ant+Ivy) on Tomcat7. Please don't provide me with solution that uses Maven. I need a "manual" solution that will use manual download of jars and importing them into Eclipse and deploying the projects as WAR with all the dependent jars inside the WAR. Here are all the jars I have been packaging inside my WAR under \lib. I am sure I don't need all of these but for today I am done... Maybe I will clean it up later. antlr-2.7.7.jar aopalliance-1.0.jar asm-3.3.1.jar commons-collections-3.2.1.jar commons-lang-2.6.jar commons-logging-1.1.1.jar cxf-2.6.7.jar cxf-manifest.jar cxf-services-sts-core-2.6.7.jar cxf-services-wsn-api-2.6.7.jar cxf-services-wsn-core-2.6.7.jar cxf-xjc-boolean-2.6.1.jar cxf-xjc-bug671-2.6.1.jar cxf-xjc-dv-2.6.1.jar cxf-xjc-runtime-2.6.1.jar cxf-xjc-ts-2.6.1.jar ehcache-core-2.5.1.jar FastInfoset-1.2.12.jar geronimo-activation_1.1_spec-1.1.jar geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec-1.1.1.jar geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec-1.7.1.jar geronimo-jaxws_2.2_spec-1.1.jar geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec-1.1.2.jar geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec-1.0.1.jar geronimo-ws-metadata_2.0_spec-1.1.3.jar isorelax-20030108.jar jaxb-api-2.2.5.jar jaxb-impl-2.2.5.1.jar jaxb-xjc-2.2.5.1.jar jettison-1.3.3.jar jetty-continuation-7.5.4.v20111024.jar jetty-http-7.5.4.v20111024.jar jetty-io-7.5.4.v20111024.jar jetty-security-7.5.4.v20111024.jar jetty-server-7.5.4.v20111024.jar jetty-util-7.5.4.v20111024.jar joda-time-1.6.2.jar js-1.7R2.jar jsr311-api-1.1.1.jar listOfJars.txt mimepull-1.7.jar msv-core-2011.1.jar neethi-3.0.2.jar oauth-20100527.jar oauth-provider-20100527.jar opensaml-2.5.1-1.jar openws-1.4.2-1.jar org.springframework.aop-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.asm-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.aspects-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.beans-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.context-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.context.support-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.core-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.expression-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.instrument-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.instrument.tomcat-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.jdbc-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.jms-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.orm-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.oxm-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.spring-library-3.1.2.RELEASE.libd org.springframework.test-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.transaction-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.web-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.web.portlet-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.web.servlet-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar org.springframework.web.struts-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar relaxngDatatype-20020414.jar saaj-api-1.3.4.jar saaj-impl-1.3.19.jar serializer-2.7.1.jar slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar slf4j-jdk14-1.7.5.jar spring-aop-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-asm-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-beans-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-context-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-core-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-expression-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-jms-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-tx-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar spring-web-3.0.7.RELEASE.jar stax2-api-3.1.1.jar velocity-1.7.jar woodstox-core-asl-4.2.0.jar wsdl4j-1.6.3.jar wss4j-1.6.10.jar xalan-2.7.1.jar xml-resolver-1.2.jar xmlbeans-2.5.0.jar xmlschema-core-2.0.3.jar xmlsec-1.5.4.jar xmltooling-1.3.2-1.jar xsdlib-2010.1.jar And here is the nasty error console out from catalina_<date>.log Sorry for a long out but hope some one can point me what am I doing wrong here.
