I'm trying to upgrade a legacy
SOAP web service (I mean LEGACY) from its current Netbeans/Glassfish setup to Maven/Spring web service container
Following an example project, it recommends using the tomcat7-maven-plugin for an "easy" tool to run my service in development without having to install an entire server.
Everything was fine until I attempted to update the hibernate system from v4 (told you it was LEGACY) to v5 (v5.4.1.Final to be exact) .
Now when attempting to start the service in the
tomcat plugin I get:
Actually multiple of the above, sighting numerous target jars.
Everything I can find related to this online mentions to upgrade to tomcat8 , but all attempts to do this with tomcat8-maven-plugin fail to resolve the plugin and comments imply that this plugin is not available (for a long time!) and many suggestions on how to get around this by actually installing a local tomcat 8 server, which is exactly what I'm wanting to avoid.
If it helps, here's my pom:
I'm going around on circles on this and just want a simple server to do some local
testing against.
