User Exception Tomcat OK -> Websphere NOK

Question

I am very new to Java and I try to understand user exceptions in webservices.

Now, I have copied the following example to Netbeans: http://mprabhat.com/2014/11/03/744/

I am using jax-ws 2.2 and java 1.6

In this classes I have delete @Stateless and build it. Alright. It works ... And the deploy to the local TomcatEE works too. I get a user exception.

BUT ... I use this war file and put in on Websphere 8.5.5 Server. I get the excpetion "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/xml/ws/WebFault.messageName()Ljava/lang/String;" I have no idea, what the problem is.

Can you help me ??

Thank you

Answer 1

Library mismatch. The version of the library that was used to compile had the method WebFault.messageName() (returning String), but the version that was used to run.

Therefore the code is trying to call the method that is no longer present -> NoSuchMethodError .

Possible and likely reason for this is that WebSphere has its own version of the library.
