Spring boot 2.1.1 to 2.1.2: Error creating bean with name 'payloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping'

Question

Migrating from spring boot 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 caused the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'payloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/ws/config/annotation/DelegatingWsConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping]: Factory method 'payloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I use spring-ws-core (3.0.6) on a web-service subproject that is contained in the app.

I am using java 11, importing the jaxb dependencies on maven.

Any ideas why the error?

Full POM of the webservices-base:

I use this as a base pom and each webservice use org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2 to import wdsl and xsd.

Post your pom.xml. Are you using spring-boot-starter-web-services? – Crocodilian

Posted the POM. Yes, i use spring-boot-starter-web-services. Thanks. – Hf

Answer 1

The problem is due to SWS-1049 recently released in 3.0.6.RELEASE. There has been a subsequent fix to be more lenient.

Try setting spring-ws.version to 3.0.7.BUILD-SNAPSHOT in your pom.xml, and add https://repo.spring.io/snapshot with snapshots enabled. That should clear things up.

Is there any solution which is not upgrading to SNAPSHOT version? I have faced the same issue during upgrade to Spring boot 2.1.2 – Sholapur

@Sholapur you could try to exclude xalan from your dependencies, I did it and it worked, but obviosuly depends by your usage of xalan – Aubreir

Answer 2

Please upgrade the Spring Boot to 2.1.4 release which includes spring-ws-core

Answer 3

I used the following version of spring-ws-code dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
