Getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl

Hi All,

We are using CXF API 3.2.0 for accessing SOAP webservice in AEM. We have referred below URL to implement the same. We have included the necessary dependencies mentioned in this URL.

https://github.com/apache/cxf/tree/master/distribution/src/main/release/samples/ws_security/sign_enc

We are getting below exception while invoking the webservice.

at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:725)

But when we checked the jar file, "cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws" got imported to the bundle. Have anyone faced similar issue?

Could any one help us in fixing this?

Hi Akhila,

Please try to implement the steps that is used in this HELPX article: Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating AEM Services using Apache CXF that consume web services

It will work!!

Thanks Ratna. The URL that is shared has an example to call a SOAP webservice. Till that our class also worked. But we have to send a signed request. So we had some additional methods. The URL which I shared has the implementation for that. We are getting exception at that point.

that GitHub does not look like Adobe content. I recommend contacting the author of that Git code. We have an article that Ratna points out - but you are doing signed requests.

Yes. That is not an AEM bundle. We just included the necessary dependencies in a AEM bundle and implemented it. The bundle is in active state too.

For AEM 6.5, ideally it should work fine if you install the package from this document - https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/experience-manager/kb/jaxws-webservice-calls-not-working-aem-65.html if there is no class path issues due to embedding of jars in your project.
