maven dependency runtime

[Juan Luis Prieto]

Hi, I've got a problem when running a test with maven.

In my project I connecto to an XML Database (exist). For this I need xmlrcp in order to send the message to the DB.
In my pom I have this as dependencies:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.xmlrpc</groupId> <artifactId>xmlrpc-client</artifactId> <version>3.1.3</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>xml-apis</groupId> <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.xmlrpc</groupId> <artifactId>xmlrpc-common</artifactId> <version>3.1.3</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>xml-apis</groupId> <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>

and it imports the jar files properly. The compilation works fine but the problem comes in runtime when performing thes test to the databse. This is the error that I am getting:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the class is not exported and used in runtime. Do you know any way to fix this? It is driving me crazy and I have no ideas anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Just as a casual guess, I'd suspect that you need to change the scope of the xmlrpc jar. Runtime scope isn't the same as test scope, and if the jar isn't pulled in for test scope, you'd have a problem for sure.
