Problem

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

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
	com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener

Solution

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

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