I am creaing a soap based web service with JAXB and Spring framework to throw it all together. I am generating the wsdl file dynamically using spring’s web services but when I try and access it, I am getting the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xpath.XPathContext.<init>(Z)V
at org.apache.xpath.jaxp.XPathExpressionImpl.eval(XPathExpressionImpl.java:115)

Now first of all, I have never seen (Z)V at the end of a NoSuchMethodError before so I am unsure what that means, but I am also getting a very limited stack trace here. I also do not understand how a class in the same project could call a method that does not exist. If anyone has some ideas as to where I should start looking to resolve this, that would be great. More information can of course be provided upon request.
EDIT:
So using the mvn depedency:tree command to see if there are mutiple jars with different versions of xpath I get the following output:

I do not see anything suspicious, so I am not really sure where else to go. I am continuing to try and use the -verbose option of glassfish to trace errors. Thanks everyone.
Edit 2: So in the glassfish log it shows the following:
[Loaded org.springframework.web.context.request.AbstractRequestAttributes from file:/C:/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/licensingSoap/WEB-INF/lib/spring-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar]

[Loaded org.apache.xml.utils.IntStack from file:/C:/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/licensingSoap/WEB-INF/lib/xalan-2.6.0.jar]
which shows for sure that somewhere the xalan-2.6.0 jar is being loaded, but when I look in the target\licensingSoap folder of my maven project, there is only the xalan-2.7.1 jar which I am assuming is the one I want. I have no idea how this jar is cropping up at runtime on glassfish. Any ideas?
You will probably be picking up the wrong version of a class file from somewhere.
Re-run with -verbose:class to see where all these classes are loaded from.
If you need help interpretting the results, please post the results here (if you can – dunno what size you’re allowed!).
HTH,
David
