Axis2 1.6.2 WebService Issue with WebSphere Network Deployment 8.5.5.0

I have a JSF+Richfaces based application that has Axis2 1.6.2 SOAP Webservice implemented on JDK6. The application works fine when I deploy it in Tomcat 6 or 7. But when we deploy it in WebSphere 8.5.5 Network Deployment it gives following error whenever we try to start the application:

I have done a very detailed research on the issue and found that Websphere has its own Axis library and to over ride this, Class loader should be configured to Parent last. I also tried to deploy the sample Axis2 1.6.2 application by following steps given in url just to make sure is Axis2 1.6.2 works or not:
http://manishcusat68.blogspot.com/2015/08/axis2-installation-in-websphere.html
The sample application is deployed and I am able to see the wsdl file.
I am using the same version of axis2 i.e 1.6.2 in my application but I always get the above exception and application never starts.
I have searched every forum, have tried each and every step I found on IBM Websphere website/stackoverflow but I am not able to find any solution of this.
I tried by putting commons-fileupload jar in lib/ext but it didn't work.
I tried to add the patch of commom-fileupload jar in system environment path but it didn't work either.
I have also tried to delete jars from IBM installation/plugin folder as per suggestions in many forums and put commons-fileupload jar in my application/lib but Websphere didn't start.
I desperately need the solution of that and request assistance from any expert please.

There's a JVM property to disable the JAXWS engine that's built into WAS. It's not perfect but it would be worth a try if you haven't already. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_9.0.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/twbs_thirdparty.html

After much searching, I found several instances of this including java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7, but most are older posts on older versions of gradle and groovy or they are related to android.
Here is my version info:
$ gradle -version
------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 6.6.1
------------------------------------------------------------
Build time: 2020-08-25 16:29:12 UTC
Revision: f2d1fb54a951d8b11d25748e4711bec8d128d7e3
Kotlin: 1.3.72
Groovy: 2.5.12
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.8 compiled on May 10 2020
JVM: 14.0.2 (Oracle Corporation 14.0.2+12-46)
OS: Linux 5.4.0-42-generic amd64
I am not doing any groovy apart from my unit tests that are entirely groovy/spock and I'm using gradle for my build engine.
Following directions I found, I went ahead and changed my gradle-wrapper.properties file to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.6-bin.zip
it was 6.5-bin.
This project was running fine on my old computer with Java 8. I moved it to my new workstation and am trying to move to open JDK 14, and that is when the new issue started.
Wondering where to go from here.

From https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/10248
Seems like GROOVY-9211 won't be backported to 2.5.x. So it seems that Gradle will need to upgrade to Groovy 3.x once it's out in order to support JDK 14.
You will need to use JDK 13 until Gradle uses Groovy 3.x.

I had the same issue using maven 3.2. and JDK 1.8. Upgrading to JDK 11 solved it.

Apache POI throws exception while reading xlsx file in Linux enviroment

I am using the latest version of Apache POI at this moment which is 4.1.1. Every thing is working fine for xls file. Even for xlsx file in development environment Windows. But I am getting exception in live environment Red Hat Linux.
I have already searched for solutions mostly said to use proper xmlbeans dependency. I am using xml-beans-3.1.0.jar.
I am exporting the war file from eclipse and publishing in oracle web-logic 12c.

Weblogic 12c has an old version(2.0) of XMLBeans!

According to
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions.setEntityExpansionLimit(I)Lorg/apache/xmlbeans/XmlOptions;
I suspect your class org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions came not really from xmlbeans-3.1.0.jar but from any other library which possibly includes an old version of org.apache.xmlbeans.*.
You could detect where the class came from using folowing code:
ClassLoader classloader =
org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions.class.getClassLoader();
java.net.URL res = classloader.getResource(
"org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlOptions.class");
String path = res.getPath();
System.out.println("XmlOptions came from " + path);

Additional Information:
The unmodified code works just fine in WebLogic Server 12.1.2.
Unfortunately I have to use WLS 12.1.1.
We are using JAX-WS
We are using JDK 7
If any additional information is required let me know.
Thank you for your help!

I am facing the same problem and the bug was supposed to be fixed in the Eclipselink ASM module in version 2.6.0 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429992).
I upgrade the eclipselink JARs in weblogic, I packaged the JARs but the bug doesn't seem to be fixed. The only way I got my webservices back working after upgrading to Weblogic 12 is by not using MOXy at all.
You can do this by either loading databinding.override_1.2.0.0.jar in the weblogic classpath (system wide fix) or to define the services in your own EAR and tell weblogic to use the resources in the EAR.
In short, add a file named "com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.BindingContextFactory" to src/main/resources/META-INF/services in your ear project and add the following line in it
com.sun.xml.ws.db.glassfish.JAXBRIContextFactory
and a file named javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext with the following content
com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory
Add the following lines to your weblogic-application.xml:
<prefer-application-resources>
<resource-name>META-INF/services/com.sun.xml.ws.spi.db.BindingContextFactory</resource-name>
<resource-name>META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext</resource-name>
</prefer-application-resources>
And package jaxb in your application:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.2.11</version>
</dependency>
If maven doesn't add your xml files to the EAR, make sure to add this to the configuration of the maven-ear-plugin:
<earSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</earSourceDirectory>

I had a similar trouble with WLS 12c and i followed the instruction to add the changes in my ear package. The details is in this link.
Is similar to the solution gave by #P_W999 and there is a solution for the server scope or the application scope.

How to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!

The first recommendation is to NOT install Eclipse from any Linux package manager or software repository. Instead, just get it from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. The builds that linux distro's install are often modified (mangled, some would say).

see https://askubuntu.com/a/695401/407641 for full instructions, ...
Highlights:
Don't sudo apt-get eclipse, that version is old!
Do download and install from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads
Do create a ~/Desktop/eclipse.desktop file. Note, the full path to the Desktop folder will be dependent upon your version of ubuntu.
