New Maven web project not working in NetBeans

Question

I am attempting to run a newly created Maven web application within NetBeans. I keep getting the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/ws/WebServiceRef

Further investigation shows that this error can apparently be sorted by adding dependencies which I did, as shown in the following screenshot:

However, the same error is still being shown.

For information, I am using the following:

• NetBeans 16
• Java 11
• Tomcat 9.0

Answer 1

Try to add this fromhttps://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.ws/jaxws-api/2.3.1

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>
