Problem
With Spring OXM + Castor binding, the Castor library is added, but still hit the following error message?
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
Could not instantiate serializer org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer
at org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesSerializer.<init>(XercesSerializer.java:50)
//...
Castor dependency in Maven.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.castor</groupId>
<artifactId>castor</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>Solution
If not mistake, Castor need Xerces to work, so, you need to add Xerces dependency also.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-oxm</artifactId>
<version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.castor</groupId>
<artifactId>castor</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>xerces</groupId>
<artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
<version>2.8.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
