How should I add a dependency with Gradle / Springboot

Question

I am a newbie with Spring / Springboot / Gradle.

I am trying to write a service, and I am getting:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Provider com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl not found
        at javax.xml.ws.spi.FactoryFinder$1.createException(FactoryFinder.java:31)
        at javax.xml.ws.spi.FactoryFinder$1.createException(FactoryFinder.java:28)

        at javax.xml.ws.spi.ServiceLoaderUtil.newInstance(ServiceLoaderUtil.java:71)
        ... 5 more

So, in this thread , I have the solution using Maven. But thing is I am using gradle for this project.

What should be the equivalent in with Gradle?

I tried:

compile('javax.xml.ws:jaxws-api')
compile('com.sun.xml.ws:rt')

inside dependencies block, but it is not working

Answer 1

When you want to add a dependency, you should look it up at mvnrepository.com. It will tell you how to add it to your project. Here is a link to one of the dependencies:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.xml.ws/rt/2.2.10

Look under the gradle tab and ypu will find the example:

compile group: 'com.sun.xml.ws', name: 'rt', version: '2.2.10'
