NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/cxf/phase/PhaseInterceptorChain in LibertyProfile 16 with Cpacke CXF 3.1.10 - websphere

Question

I have written following Code to intercept the incoming request.
#Provider
public class RequestInterceptor implements ReaderInterceptor {
#Override
public Object aroundReadFrom(ReaderInterceptorContext context) throws IOException, WebApplicationException {
Message message = PhaseInterceptorChain.getCurrentMessage();
OperationResourceInfo cri = message.getExchange().get(OperationResourceInfo.class);
return null;
}
}
I am using Apache CXF 3.1.10 and Liberty Profile 16.
In my server.xml, following features are enabled :
<featureManager>
<feature>webProfile-7.0</feature>
<feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>
</featureManager>
Following is my pom.xml file:

When I am running the application I am getting below error:
[INFO ] Setting the server's publish address to be /rest/
[INFO ] SRVE0242I: [TestApp] [/TestApp] [javax.ws.rs.core.Application]: Initialization successful.
[ERROR ] SRVE0777E: Exception thrown by application class 'framework.rest.interceptors.RequestInterceptor.aroundReadFrom:32'

If I am running my application without the interceptor code then its running just fine.

Answer 1

Did you have just cxf-rt-frountend-jaxrs-x.x.x.jar packaged in your application? PhaseInterceptorChain.class is in cxf-core-x.x.x.jar. Perhaps try including all cxf jars in the lib directory of your .war.
