java.lang.ClassNotFoundException : com/sun/xml/stream/buffer/XMLStreamBuffer

Problem

Deploying a JAX-WS web service on Tomcat, hits following error message :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
	com/sun/xml/stream/buffer/XMLStreamBuffer

Solution

The JAX-WS dependency library “streambuffer.jar” is missing.

1. Go here http://jax-ws.java.net/.
2. Download JAX-WS RI distribution.
3. Unzip it and copy “streambuffer.jar” to Tomcat library folder “{$TOMCAT}/lib“.
4. Restart Tomcat.
