The API works fine when I am running it from Intellij IDE using the same Tomcat 8.5 files. However when I deploy the war to the server I get the following error.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from URL [file:/C:/Users/Bob/Documents/Tomcat%208.5/webapps/database_war%20exploded/WEB-INF/cxf-servlet.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Invalid NamespaceHandler class [org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.spring.NamespaceHandler] for namespace [http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs]: problem with handler class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

</beans>

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have spent days googling the error in various ways however I have not had any luck resolving it.

  • What is your jdk version? – Mohsen Mar 19 '19 at 18:24
  • @Spara "Java Home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2" – Bryon Mar 19 '19 at 18:45
  • check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43574426/how-to-resolve-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-javax-xml-bind-jaxbexception-in-j – Mohsen Mar 19 '19 at 19:01
  • @Spara I changed it to use: jdk1.8.0_201. This solved my issue. Throw that into an answer and I will mark it correct for pointing me in the right direction. Bonus points for telling me why it worked. – Bryon Mar 19 '19 at 19:03

Add below dependency in pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

In java 11 JAXB APIs are completely removed from the JDK. So backing to JDK 8 will solve your issue. There is a clean solution for JDKs >= 9 which suggested here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/52872160/4431053
