Problem
i'm trynig to develop a REST web service using CXF 2.6.0 and spring 2.5.6 my CXF maven dependancy in the pom.xml are : ``` <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-rs-extension-providers</artifactId> <version>2.6.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-rs-extension-search</artifactId> <version>2.6.0</version> </dependency> ``` I'am using Spring 2.5.6 and i have declared my web service in the applicationcontext.xml spring file : ``` <jaxrs:server id="restContainer" address="/sav"> <jaxrs:serviceBeans> <ref bean="wssav"/> </jaxrs:serviceBeans> </jaxrs:server> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-jaxrs-binding.xml"/> <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml"/> ``` And i have declared my Web service into web.xml file by this code : ``` <servlet> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> ``` when i deploy my project on tomcat i got this exception for the second file of import in applicationcontext.xml file : ``` java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-jaxrs-binding.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist ```
