Error deploying webservice on weblogic: cannot cast to com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider

Question

I'm trying to deploy a web-service in weblogic and I get the following errors:

    weblogic.management.DeploymentException: com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletException: WSSERVLET11: Fallo al analizar el descriptor en tiempo de ejecución: com.sun.xml.ws.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider: Provider weblogic.wsee.databinding.internal.wlsjaxrpc.JaxRpcProvider is specified in jar:file:/C:/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/oracle_common/modules/com.oracle.webservices.wls.wls-ws-metainf-services-impl_12.1.3.jar!/META-INF/services/com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProviderbut could not be instantiated: java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast weblogic.wsee.databinding.internal.wlsjaxrpc.JaxRpcProvider to com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider

com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletException: WSSERVLET11: Fallo al analizar el descriptor en tiempo de ejecución: com.sun.xml.ws.util.ServiceConfigurationError: com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider: Provider weblogic.wsee.databinding.internal.wlsjaxrpc.JaxRpcProvider is specified in jar:file:/C:/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/oracle_common/modules/com.oracle.webservices.wls.wls-ws-metainf-services-impl_12.1.3.jar!/META-INF/services/com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProviderbut could not be instantiated: java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast weblogic.wsee.databinding.internal.wlsjaxrpc.JaxRpcProvider to com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider

What am I doing wrong? I used jaxws-rt for my webservice java web-services weblogic

You have a problem of clashing classes, the ones you ship in your deployment and the ones provided by WebLogic, as the error message is telling you:

Cannot cast weblogic.wsee.databinding.internal.wlsjaxrpc.JaxRpcProvider to com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.DatabindingProvider

Set a filter in your web.xml to tell your application to prefer its own resources .
