java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : javax/xml/soap/SOAPException

I have created a Web Service using Spring. It works fine when running it on my embedded tomcat server. However when I package it as a JAR file and run it with java -jar command, I am receiving this exception.

My service sends a simple soap request and the server response is:

 "exception": "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError",
    "message": "javax/xml/soap/SOAPException",

That's the response I get in Postman.

Any ideas where I can look for the problem.

I know this is already closed for all above people but I am still facing this issue even though I have added jakarta-xml.soap-api and saaj jars in classpath.

Anything that I am missing to make it work.Tried out using javax-.xml-soap-api as well instead of jakarta jar but still same error.Somehow its not able to identify the jar.

The JAX-WS dependency library “jaxws-api.jar” is missing. Try:

  • compile group: 'javax.xml.ws', name: 'jaxws-api', version: '2.3.1' - for gradle or:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

Yes, In Java 11 java.xml.soap was completely removed. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/soap/SOAPException can be removed by adding the following dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.xml.soap</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.xml.soap-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-RC3</version>
</dependency>

But later, you will encounter , javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create SAAJ meta-factory: Provider com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.SAAJMetaFactoryImpl not found. This can be solved by adding the following dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj</groupId>
    <artifactId>saaj-impl</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.1</version>
</dependency>

Hope, it helps!

Adding this dependency will solve the issue.

        <artifactId>saaj-impl</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.0</version>
    </dependency>

Add the following dependencies, it should work then

<dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj</groupId>
        <artifactId>saaj-impl</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.6</version>
    </dependency>

JavaSE 8 includes package java.xml.soap.
JavaSE 9 moved package javax.xml.soap to the module java.xml.ws.
Modules shared with JEE (like java.xml.ws) are included in JavaSE 9, but are
- deprecated for removal from a future version of JavaSE, and
- not on the default module path.

A quick workaround is to either
- run the jar with JRE 8: $MY_JRE8_HOME/bin/java -jar my.jar, or
- add a module for JRE 9: java --add-modules java.xml.ws -jar my.jar

Longer term, JavaSE projects that use modules like java.xml.ws must explicitly include the module like other libraries.

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/46359097
See JDK 9 Migration Guide: Modules Shared with JEE Not Resolved by Default
