Unable to deploy CXF3.x JAX-RS service in Weblogic 12c (12.2.1)

After upgrading a JAX-RS service built with CXF3.x from weblogic 12.1.3 to 12.2.1 I am facing the following weird issue

Note that I am using CXF, not Jersey, but seems Weblogic is trying to use it (it does not happen with 12.1.3). I disabled it in configuration files following this recommendations: https://jerometambo.github.io/blog/2016/12/13/How-to-use-CXF-3x-implementation-of-JAX-RS-20-REST-with-Weblogic-12c.html
With default configuration, Weblogic wants to use its internal implementation (JAX-RS 2.0 and serialization) to deploy the REST web services (Error 500):

WORKAROUND
It works if I deploy previously other CXF module using the default JAX-RS implementation and removing WEB-INF/lib/javax.ws.rs-api-2.0.1.jar. Maybe weblogic does some kind of internal initialization.
myapp.ear
init.war (JAX-RS with CXF and removing javax.ws.rs-api-2.0.1.jar)
myapp.war (JAX-RS with CXF and weblogic configuration)

#pedrofb, this may not fully answer your question, however, I once had a similar issue with Tomcat. The symptoms are similar, the problem was not really due to the presense of different class present in different jars i.e. jar shadowing. It was due to classloader shadowing. In Tomcat, classloading is actually inverted, not the usual 'ask-your-parent-classloader-first' kind of model, if an application classloader can find a class (where it only loads from WEB-INF/lib or classes) then the classloader loads the class. Now, in your case, I think, since the JAX-RS jars are present in your WEB-INF/lib, it is getting loaded from there at web application level. However, when the same object is being passed to the container, it is trying to cast it to the same class but at container level loaded by a different classloader. Classes loaded by different classloaders are considered different; this would be the cause for ClassCastException.
This would also explain why there is no ClassCastException when you remove the JAX-RS jar from WEB-INF/lib. The workaround here are limited, either you remove the JAX-RS jar from your WEb-INF/lib as you have done. (This could be potentially problematic but you could experiment in non production server), replace the container JAX-RS jar with the one that you want.
As I said, this will probably not solve your problem completely but may point in a direction to where the problem is coming from. [As I noticed some years back, Weblogic uses tomcat as its web container core (not sure if it is still the same) with changed package names like com.bea.weblogic.org.apache.tomcat ...].
Hope this helps.

Error is: "weblogic.application.ModuleException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException weblogic server 12.2.1

I am new to spring ,spring security,and weblogic so i am developing a project that is using them.
i am using here weblogic server 12.2.1
however the problem is the project is working perfect on tomcat 8 server
and i have deployed the application once on weblogic and it is worked once before i added spring security ,but after i have finished on tomcat now weblogic is asking for a deleted class

also when i have searched for this error i thought maybe the weblogic spring module is conflicting with mine so i have added weblogic.xml

also i have deleted the cache,log and tmp files in C:\Weblogic12_2_1\user_projects\domains\adminDomain\servers\AdminServer but nothing happened.
will i was searching for days now but no luck if any body can point me to something it would be appreciated.

I solved the issue by lowering the libraries versions.

jersey rest Application not deploying with shared library jax-rs 2.0 in weblogic 12.1.3

I have a jersey rest application. I have used jersey 2.x classes including http request interceptors. however my weblogic 12.1.3 server has jersey 1.8. i deployed a jax-rs 2.0 shared library from this link in the server and referenced it in my weblogic.xml file. But when deploying it, it says There was a failure when processing annotations for application.
below are the error logs. what I'm I missing here?

The major 2 means Jersey has incompatibilities with version 1. I wouldn't expect it to be backwards compatible. I suppose you'll have to migrate or keep working in version 1.

Deploying a Jersey application on Weblogic 12.1.3

I am having difficulty deploying a Jersey application to Weblogic 12, I have spent a lot of time battling with it and am still struggling. I have followed various suggestions on various sites (including this one), but I am still having issues. I don't know if I am fundamentally misunderstanding something basic, so I am hoping someone can help me.
Here is what I have so far:
I have created a new maven project.
Here is my POM:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

I have also deployed the jax-rs to Weblogic as in https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/wls/RESTF/use-jersey20-ri.htm#RESTF299 and added the following weblogic.xml to my WEB-INF directory:
<wls:weblogic-web-app xmlns:wls="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.7/weblogic-web-app.xsd">

I am not really sure what is going wrong; am I using the wrong dependencies in my POM?
Any help that anyone could give would be gratefully received, I have spend a lot of time battling with Weblogic and Jersey!
--EDIT --
I have added the following to my weblogic.xml (following http://www.widecodes.com/CxVkWWgPUj/using-jersey-2x-web-service-on-weblogic-1211.html which seems to be a similar issue):

Since you were trying to deploy jersey as a shared library in WLS initially, I am assuming you were not supplying the jersey jar files with your EAR file, or at least that was not the intent.
I suspect the initial problem was that you might have deployed an older version of jax-rs from the deployable library. What you want to see in your deployments is jax-rs(2.0,2.5.1) - spec 2.0, implementation 2.5.1 - deployed as a shared library.
you should not put in the weblogic.xml unless you want the packages you specified "must always be loaded from the application" (ref Oracle doc here) - i.e. wls would look for these packages provided from your EAR - which I suspect is not what you want to do. You would only do this if you want to supply your own version of the jersey files - typically later more up to date version than what WLS provides.
I suggest you back out your changes you made on the weblogic.xml, you redeploy the jax-rs shared library, and make sure you did not accidentally included any of the jersey jar files in your EAR. I am not a maven user, so I'm not sure what you have on the POM file would automatically include these dependent files in your EAR file. You do not want this if you want to use the WLS versions of jersey.
Also, not sure if this would make a difference, but on my version of weblogic.xml, I included the implementation-version to match that of the shared library.
<wls:library-ref>
<wls:library-name>jax-rs</wls:library-name>
<wls:specification-version>2.0</wls:specification-version>
<wls:implementation-version>2.5.1</wls:implementation-version>
<wls:exact-match>false</wls:exact-match>
</wls:library-ref>
Good luck. These deployment issues can be tricky to maddening.

As you may already know before deploying a JAX-RS application to Weblogic you must install jax-rs shared library on the server. It resides in $WLHOME/common/deployable-libraries/jax-rs-2.0.war
After that you should not have any jersey jars on your ear/war application. You just reference the jax-rs library from weblogic.xml preferably with its implementation version. This <prefer-application-packages> section is supposed to be defined in the weblogic.xml inside jax-rs library war and not in yours weblogic.xml.
If you want to use more recent version of the jax-rs library check this answer

does red5 read tomcat-users.xml

I have been busy creating an app for Red5. Imagine what was my surprise when I tried to configure basic/digest authentication and I couldn't.
What struck me as strange is that I have a running tomcat instance that works and authenticates correctly with the following xmls:
web.xml (part of)
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>A Protected Page</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/stats.jsp</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description/>
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method>
<realm-name>BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<description/>
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
</security-role>
and a tomcat-users.xml in /conf that looks kinda like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<user username="ide" password="bogus" roles="tomcat"/>
</tomcat-users>
The annoying thing is that configuration authenticates correctly when on tomcat's servlet container, but on the red5's modified one, it just keeps asking for authentication. Am I becoming mad or it should work like a charm?
Red5 is version 0_9_1
The stats.jsp is accessible in both
servlet containers, the only
difference is that when you input
the correct password and username in
tomcat, you are logged in, and in
red5 you are not, it just keeps
asking you for the password.
Any pointers? Am I missing something?

In addition, here is the configuration of red5-web.properties
webapp.contextPath=/project
Even futher information:
Seems to me like it is using the right realm: MemoryRealm

However, immediately after bootstraping Tomcat, I am presented with the following error:

This error is kinda strange, because after this it seems that /WEB-INF/ is found by the rest of the program by the following output:

What really annoys me is that, as you can see in the output, when I try to login, I get a JAASRealm-related exception, but in the debug output when Tomcat is loading, it is clear to me that it expects a MemoryRealm. I was wondering where and how in red5.xml should I specify bean properties such that I force red5 to use MemoryRealm that is under /conf/tomcat-users.xml, because it certainly doesn't do so now.
It seems like the biggest question I have posted so far, but I tried to explain it as fully as possible as to avoid confusion.

For Red5 0.9, try adding this node to your tomcat.server bean.
<property name="realm">
<bean class="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" lazy-init="true">
<property name="pathname" value="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
</bean>
</property>
If the xml is still not found (try a full path) or the realm property doesn't allow you to set it, I would suggest that you upgrade to 1.0.

I've seen this problem numerous times, and, on our systems, it was typically hiding a configuration issue. Are you sure that all of the relevant paths are set, so that all of your libraries can be properly accessed?
Also, the resource pattern syntax, that seems a bit broken, can you replace that configuration setting with a list of all of the files, instead?
