Axis2 Class Cast Exception - axis2

I am currently using JBoss6.0 and have an webapplication deployed that makes use of an WebService on a remote system. Now after deploying and when trying to call a method on the webservice, I get the following error.
java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOnlyMessageReceiver cannot be cast
to org.apache.axis2.engine.MessageReceiver

The error occurs when the Axis2 jar files are located in multiple locations within the classpath (perhaps even with different versions) of the JBoss server.
If you use maven you can add <scope>provided</scope> to the Axis2 dependencies of your project to ensure the libs exist only in one single location within the classpath.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.joda.time.DateTime.now()Lorg/joda/time/DateTime; on Webogic [duplicate]

I have a maven web app project, where I use JodaTime. JodaTime is not directly referenced in my maven project, but is a part of a transitive dependency. In other words, my web app war, has another project of mine as a direct dependency, and that jar contains JodaTime.
I am getting an error after executing these two lines. It compiles fine though.
DateTime firstDate = new DateTime();
firstDate = firstDate.withYear(2016);
And here is my error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.joda.time.DateTime.withYear(I)Lorg/joda/time/DateTime;
I know that these kinds of errors can happen if I compile and run with different versions of a library, like this answer says, but the withYear() has been around since JodaTime 1.3, since 2006, and I can't see that I could ever have imported a version that old. I've even checked my final war-file, and the only JodaTime library present, is 2.9.2.
The two lines runs fine if I create a main-method snippet, and run it from within the same project in eclipse. They only fail upon compilation into a war file, and running from my weblogic 10.3.2 server.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can proceed to debug this one?
WebLogic 10.3.6 includes this on the classpath:
joda.time_1.2.1.0.jar
This is earlier than the 1.3 that has the missing method.
Your code compiles, which is a good indication that your app's classpath has at least Joda 1.3.
Thus I suspect this is a WebLogic classpath issue. When your app uses libraries that are also on the WebLogic classpath, you need to tell WebLogic which library to use. You do this with the prefer-application-packages element in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/weblogic.xml.
<weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<package-name>org.slf4j.spi.*</package-name>
<!-- others here -->
</prefer-application-packages>
</container-descriptor>
<!-- rest of weblogic.xml here -->
</weblogic-web-app>
WebLogic has a classpath analysis tool called wls-cat to help locate these conflicts, described in this blog post. One caveat - do not just copy wls-cat's prefer-application-packages block into your webapp and think you're done - you need to resolve each conflict one by one. Sometimes that means excluding dependencies from your webapp or using scope provided.

Mule ClassNotFoundException for class existing in a library in the class path

I have a class in a Mule application which resides in a jar of a third party library. The library gets included in the lib folder after the project builds so it is definitely in the classpath. The class is then used in a Mule component. The applications deploys successfully in AnyPoint Studio'sembedded server. However, when the Mule component is processing data, Mule complains that it can't find the class.
As soon as the line with the following code snippet is encountered it throws the NoClassDefFoundError.
populator.put(ScanType.MRI,container);
Here is a portion of the stacktrace:
Root Exception stack trace:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.tcfg.utils.defn.Populator
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
at org.mule.module.launcher.FineGrainedControlClassLoader.findClass(FineGrainedControlClassLoader.java:175)

at org.mule.module.launcher.FineGrainedControlClassLoader.loadClass(FineGrainedControlClassLoader.java:119)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
I also know that this is the only instance of the class in the whole project when I use a tool to search the entire lib folder for instances of the class. This is definitely not a situation of multiple versions of the class or of other classes existing in one of the jars with a similar name. What could be the cause of this and how can I resolve it?
Even though if you add the jar in lib folder you need to manually add that jar to your class path.So, that it will be available.
They are 2 possibilities here one is there might be a need of OS specific library to be downloaded and configured in Anypoint Stduio in Run configurations like for SAP we need to point it to the DLL which windows will refer to. Giving below an example.
-Djava.library.path=C:\Users\adm-snandu\AnypointStudio\workspace\
For most of the Class Notfound errors you need to make sure the maven dependency is given in the pom.xml which takes care of downloading all the relevant libraries and referring to them during run time.

Invalid ejb jar: it contains zero ejb.

I have 2 modules: ejb and war, and ear module, that contains them. Modules build successfully, but when I try to deploy ear to glassfish, I recieve this error:
glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin.org.glassfish.deployment.admin|_ThreadID=17;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|Exception while deploying the app [EarModule] : Invalid ejb jar [BackEnd-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar]: it contains zero ejb.
Note:
1. A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message-driven bean.
2. EJB3+ entity beans (#Entity) are POJOs and please package them as library jar.
3. If the jar file contains valid EJBs which are annotated with EJB component level annotations (#Stateless, #Stateful, #MessageDriven, #Singleton), please check server.log to see whether the annotations were processed properly.|#]
I really don't know what to do, I've found a lot of questions like mine, but there was no solution.
I understood, what was wrong. The problem was in run configurations, I'm using Intellij Idea and in run configurations there was build and make before run of my ear module. I removed this and after maven install it deployed successfully.
You have to add an EJB into your WAR or EAR file. Just Create a new Class and annotate it with #Stateless
I know this is very build specific and it uses Netbeans instead of the OP's IDE but because I was lead here and this will likely be useful to some users:
I had the following build:
Netbeans Enterprise Application with Maven
Glassfish 4.1
Java EE 7
I had tried migrating from a previous non-maven enterprise application and the clone didn't quite work the way I expected, there was some old ejb jars lying around that I deleted.
I had done quite a few things to fix it:
Ensure theres no ejb jars lying around that shouldn't be there. Ensure that you don't have accidently have the ejb module jar included more than once as this can result in the same error too (Manually deploying the ear and deployment through netbeans sometimes gave me different errors).
I used the #Remote interface on my EJB applications. Now you should not be importing your EJB into your War, you should use the annotations correctly as described https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/ejb-intro004.htm
(This is more of a note) When you update any of your war or ejb, clean and build them before cleaning and building your ear (sounds funny right?).
If you are using interfaces for your session beans then you should put them in a separate jar, make a new project maven > java application. Do the same thing with your persistence entities. Add these as dependencies to both your ejb and war project.
This doesn't relate to me in particular but you should have at least 1 #stateless (or I think #stateful) annotation in a java class inside your ejb module for it to run (for the module to be considered an ejb).
I likely had to do a few more things that I forgot but if you still run into issues comment below and I'll try to update.
Just try to build & install your project using Maven , and then , deploy it in glassfish ( do not run your project directly from your IDE )
I encountered this problem as well. It occurred when I had imported a new EJB project into my Eclipse workspace. The project didn't have a reference to the Glassfish libraries then, since it was not yet included in the EAR deployment assembly.
Upon saving the Bean file, the IDE automatically imported javax.inject.Singleton instead of javax.ejb.Singleton. This made the code compile without warnings, but throw the same error as in the original post.

Glassfishv3 not adding jars in ear to the classpath

I have been working on this problem for one whole day but in vain without any effective solution.
I have an ear file packaged with an ejb and a handful of jar files (including hibernate and the other dependent jar files).The ejb is stateless and enabled as a web service.
The ear file has been packaged using maven and has the below structure
ear->projectrelatedejb.jar
->hibernate.jar
->otherdependent. jar
->META-INF/application.xml
->META-INF/manifest.mf
The application.xml and manifest file are automatically generated by maven when I do a package.
When I deploy this ear file on glassfish it gets deployed with the ejb methods being accessible using web services. However when accessing the application (using soapui),
the ejb methods that perform some database functionality using hibernate throw java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for the hibernate api during runtime.
It is obvious from the error that the hibernate jars are not on the classpath during runtime but since the jars are within the ear Glassfish should have
added it to the application classpath.
I tried various options like adding the classpath entries to the manifest.mf during the package (by using the element addClasspath with the maven-ear-plugin) which didn't do any good.Also with Glassfish we cannot add the dependent jars as modules to the application.xml unless the jars are application client jars
(Glassfish wouldn't deploy the ear file if the application.xml has the dependent jars declared as modules).
I also tried placing the jars in the lib directory within the ear (which isn't actually required) and with the manifest Class-Path header referencing the jars in the lib directory which also didn't fix the problem.
The quick and dirty fix which I can do to get this working is to place the hibernate and the other the dependent jars in Glassfish's lib directory.However,this is a bad practice
and I am somewhat reluctant to do it.
I would really appreciate if someone can provide me with a working solution to this problem.I have gone through the net looking for this problem
but couldn't find any solution.
Wondering if its a bug with glassfish or does glassfish need something special to reference the jars in an ear.
Thanks in advance.
I found a similar problem which is discussed here: http://www.tricoder.net/blog/?p=59.
Simply put, try putting the libraries in EAR/lib directory and according to JEE5 spec, glassfish will add them to class path automatically.
I used Server Library option to deploy application JARs and it worked for me.
Right click on your EAR-> Properties -> Libraries-> Add Library -> Create -> give name and change type in Library Type to Server Libraries then add JARs that should be deployed and confirm.
I work with NetBeans 7.0.1 and GlassFish server 3.1
When you say you added classpath entries to manifest.mf, which manifest.mf do you refer to? The one in ear-root/META-INF/manifest.mf ? Try adding a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to your ejb module with Class-Path entries!

How can I exclude jbossws libs (in Jboss 5.1.x common/lib) from being loaded by my project?

I am using JBoss 5.1.0GA which has the jbossws jars in the common/lib folder. My project relies on a connection to a 3rd party system (via web services). The Encryption and Decryption handlers have been delivered to me as a jar file and looking into the jar file the pom has a dependency on axis libs. We have a wsdd defined to point our client to the correct EncryptionHandler.
The problem is when we attempt to make a request on the web service the EncryptionHandler throws the following error:-
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.ws.core.soap.SOAPMessageImpl cannot be cast to org.apache.axis.Message
10:06:15,935 ERROR [STDERR] at org.apache.axis.MessageContext.setMessage(MessageContext.java:648)
It seems that when the EncryptionHandler attempts to create the Message the jbossws lib is being used rather than the Axis lib that is included in our pom (and also in the server lib within jboss).
How can I stop the project picking up the jbossws jar and use the axis one instead? we do not have jbossws as a dependency in the pom.
You should be able to deploy the Axis lib to $JBoss_Home\lib\endorsed\ which would then take precedence over the JBoss libs.
Though there may be other carry-on effects with this depending upon what other JBoss WS related functions are being used.
