java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/crypto/dsig/XMLSignatureException

Dear All,

I have a dedicated server with Godaddy and I am running XMLDigitalSignatureAPI on it. It works fine on my local server but when I uploaded the war file to the production server I got the error below and if I try to refresh the page again I get 404 error. My API files are lying in lib folder under WEB-INF. Could any one please let me know what should I do to fix this error.

HTTP Status 500 -

Hi!
Does the libraries in your WEB-INF/lib folder include any of the JARs seen when clicking on this link?
http://www.jarfinder.com/index.php/java/info/javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureException
I suspect that your local Tomcat installation contains this JAR, but your web service WAR and the production server does not.
Best wishes!

Thanks for your response. It's already solved.

OK, I am dead curious

: How did you solve it?

It was JAR compatibility issues.
