Error -  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/ws/WebServiceRef was thrown when running my web application on myeclipse based on Resin 3.1.

It is due to a MyEclipse (I am using My Eclipse 5.5.0 GA) defect.

Workaround:  add them under the jar files under lib folder in the boot configuration of Resin in MyEclipse.

Also there is another MyEclipse ‘defect’. By default, the deploy folder will be used to deploy the Eclipse Project.  But we need to update the resin.conf file to set up the correct value for ‘<web-app-deploy path=”deploy”/>’ .
