EAR deployment is failing with error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException on weblogic 12.1.3.0.0

When I try to deploy Dep.ear it is throwing below error:

Weblogic version: 12.1.3.0.0 & OpenJDK version "1.8.0_275".
Please help me with troubleshooting this issue. TIA!

That issue happens when you have a class compiled with a newer JDK version, in your case > 1.8
Probably one of your libraries inside Dep.ear has the culprit.

Migration issue from spring 3.1.2 to spring 4

We are try to migrate from Spring 3.1.2 to Spring 4.1.2
After migration, when running tomcat we are facing below exception,
This issue is caused by our spring-jms dependency.
As per my knowledge, this class "MappingJacksonMessageConverter" is available only in spring 3, in spring 4 the class is MappingJackson2MessageConverter.
I'm not sure which part of spring code is loading this class MappingJacksonMessageConverter.

Maybe you have a wrong version of some dependencies, maybe they are not migrated, so you have to see the dependencies table of the Spring 4.1.2 in the maven central, this table contains the lowest version compatible with the Spring version you want.

error while deploy app with tomcat

I have developed an app and now am trying to deployed it on Tomcat. when I start start.bat file in Tomcat directory. My console doesn't display any errors and when I open log files, I see this error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xmk.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
On many forums people say that I didn't add jaxws-rt.jar lib. But I have added it. First I added it as a dependency in maven. After that I deleted the dependency and downloaded the library from official site and added it to my lib folder. This too didn't help. So how can I fix this error?

Instead of putting the jars in your app's WEB-INF/lib dir, put it under the lib dir under Tomcat install directory. That should fix the error.

JBoss AS 7 comes with isolated class-loading, so you should carefully configure your project dependencies. Details are here.
In your case I see that Spring refers to Log4j, which is provided by JBossAS: Module "org.apache.log4j:main", and tries to configure it to do something unusual (possibly, tries to make logging go over e-mail). The problem is that mail-api is not accessible to log4j module, so it complains.
Now you have at least 3 solutions:
Make Spring just use log4j without trying to configure it. Instead configure log4j at app-server level. See this. Ask Spring experts how to do it :)
Put log4j.jar in your /WEB-INF/lib and do not expose Module "org.apache.log4j" to your webapp.
Expose mail-api to log4j module and delete /WEB-INF/lib/mail.jar from you app. You will have to edit jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/modules/org/apache/log4j/main/module.xml to include a dependency on mail-api:
<dependencies>
<module name="org.dom4j" optional="true"/>
<module name="javax.api"/>
<module name="javax.mail.api" export="true"/>
</dependencies>

Problem with NetBeans Web Service Client when xercesImpl.jar is on classpath

I am unable to create a Web Service Client in my NetBeans Web Application when xercesImpl.jar is included as a library.
Using NetBeans 6.9 and GlassFish 3.0.1:
1.) Create new Web Application
2.) Create a new Web Service
3.) Add a new operation to the created web service (just let it return null - the implementation isn't important)
4.) Deploy web service to GlassFish (works fine)
5.) Add xercesImpl.jar (I'm using version 2.9.1) as a library to the web service (I need xerces for a third-party library that I'm using)
6.) Stop Glassfish.
7.) Clean and Build the project.
8.) Run the project. Test that the Web Service still works (it does).
9.) Create a new Web Service Client. Point it at a WSDL (I'm using http://www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl just as a test).
10.) Stop Glassfish.
11.) Clean and Build the project.
Error message is shown:
C:\NetBeansProjects\WSTest\nbproject\jaxws-build.xml:43:
Error starting wsimport: BUILD FAILED
(total time: 1 second)
Line 43 is:
<wsimport sourcedestdir="${build.generated.dir}/jax-wsCache/CurrencyConvertor"

catalog="catalog.xml" extension="true" verbose="true"
wsdlLocation="http://www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl"
xnocompile="true" xendorsed="true">
12.) Restart NetBeans.
13.) Clean and Build the project. (The build now works)
14.) Run the project. GlassFish starts up fine except for this one-line error message:
SEVERE: Error in resolving the catalog
15.) Loading the Web Service Tester page produces the following exception in the GlassFish log:

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Note that it only happens after I create a new Web Service Client/Reference. Even if someone could suggest which project I should be creating a bug against (i.e. is it a NetBeans fault? A Glassfish fault? A JAX-WS fault? etc.), that would be good.

Well I've finally found a solution:
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=59445
What I needed to do was to remove these files from the xercesImpl.jar file:
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
When the modified JAR file is included in my project it no longer causes any issues.
If anyone has a neater solution, please let me know.

I found the solution for my problem which is similar with yours.
I added inside my jar the following file:
META-INF/services/org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration
The content of this file is just :
org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration
Regards.
