java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

I am trying to run Tomcat 7 and getting following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.TubelineAssemblyController: method <init>()V not found

According to this post (http://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-ws/deploy-jax-ws-web-services-on-tomcat/)

1. gmbal-api-only.jar
2. ha-api.jar
3. jaxb-core.jar
4. jaxb-impl.jar
5. jaxws-api.jar
6. jaxws-rt.jar
7. management-api.jar
8. policy.jar
9. stax-ex.jar
10. streambuffer.jar

I added these jars to Tomcat's libs (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-7.0.37\lib), to my project's libs and even under JDK: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\lib, still no good.

The funny thing is there is nothing in my project that uses com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.TubelineAssemblyController class. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm with the same problem with Apache Commons and Tomcat 7. I have a new version in my lib folder, and tomcat has another version int the commmons lib folder.

Tomcat loads first the libs of its folder and after this the WEB/lib of my webapp. I got the same exception as you, once the method I'm using has only on the new version.

Try to localize different versions of the lib in your classpath.

"The funny thing is there is nothing in my project that uses com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.TubelineAssemblyController class."

But one of your jars' source is looking for it. You might have wrong version of jar file(s). Try redownloading the latest version.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Generally happens when you have wrong version of jar in classpath.

For example, while development you have used stax-ex1.2.jar but runtime you have stax-ex.jar. Make sure you have same version of jar available in classpath for both compile time and run time.
