What can I do?

As far as I can recall, in Spring 2.5.x this class was either in the full spring.jar, or in the spring-web.jar.
Check whether you have the class inside your spring2.5.6.jar, and if not add spring-web2.5.6.jar to your classpath.

i have placed the spring2.5.6.jar in my classpath
This phrase is very ambiguous. The "classpath" is merely an abstract term which identifies the collection of all local disk file system paths wherein Java has to scan for classes and JAR files during compiletime or runtime. Your current and previous questions and your comments on this question doesn't give me the impression that you properly understand what exactly the classpath is.
In this particular case, you need to ensure that the JAR file is placed in one of those paths which are (by default) covered by the runtime classpath. The webapp's /WEB-INF/lib folder is one of them. You just have to drop a copy of the JAR in that folder. Absolutely nothing more needs to be done. Even not fiddling with Build Path properties in an IDE, which would possibly make things worse. Undo it if necessary. Just dropping the JAR in /WEB-INF/lib folder of the IDE project is sufficient, really.

Should Oracle's ucp.jar reside in Tomcat's lib or application's war? Missing ResultSetMetaData. Achieving clean redeploy of Tomcat app with Oracle?

Suppose it is 2016. I am building a very simple Java EE app with Spring for DI, jdbc template and web, Oracle for persistence and Deploy it to Tomcat. Sounds easy, not sure if it could be more trivial.
There are the following most recent stable versions:
Tomcat 8.5
Oracle jdbc drivers v 12.x
and Spring 4.3.x
Tomcat recommends putting jdbc drivers to $CATALINA_BASE/lib, so I follow this recommendation. Oracle recommends using their UCP pool and tutorials at oracle.com also suggest putting ucp.jar together with ojdbc.jar (to Tomcat's lib folder). I use Spring to manage lifecycle of UCP pool and pass it as a datasource to JdbcTemplate.
I use a single dedicated server at production and for the best experience of my users I use a Tomcat's Parallel deployment feature. There is nothing very special about this feature, it allows to deploy a new version with no downtime and automatically (and gracefully) undeploy an old version when there are no active sessions left for it.
The missing ResultSetMetaData problem
The unexpected problem I may have after deploying a new version of application with such a simple setup:

How to reproduce
Unfortunately I do not understand the root cause of the exception. The ResultSetMetaData is a JDK class, how it can be not found? Was it unloaded? At least after some experiments I know exactly the minimum steps required to reproduce it:
deploy 1st version of an app and init db pool (i.e. with a simple connection, but which DOES NOT involve ResulstSetMetaData, i.e. jdbcTempalte.query()).
deploy the 2nd version of an app
wait for the 1st version to undeploy (as gracefully as possible)
and make a call which involves ResultSetMetaData.
Boom! The ResultSetMetaData not found again and the app is broken.
This bug does not depend on Tomcat's Parallel deployment feature. You can have the most recent (9.x) Tomcat with stock configuration, 2 different webapps using the same Oracle jdbc driver, deploy it in the order and under the same conditions I described above and get the same error.
Also I would like to add that the following statement from Tomcat is incorrect:
this web application instance has been stopped already
I know exactly that the 2nd (just deployed) app gets invoked (not the unloaded one), it is alive and could not be stopped. But it fails at reaching ResultSetMetaData on it's way.
With the help of docker-compose I did many experiments to isolate the problem and see what can fix it. One thing that fixes the problem is putting ucp.jar to .war, not into Tomcat's lib.
That's the reason for the question in the title:
Should Oracle's ucp.jar reside in Tomcat's lib or be bundled to application's war?
ucp.jar itself is not a jdbc driver which gets registered with a global service-provider. Do you put HikariCP to Tomcat's lib? I do not think so. And bundling ucp to webapp fixes the ResultSetMetaData problem. Are there any other reasons for ucp.jar to be placed to Tomcat's lib?
Broken reflection
Unfortunately moving ucp.jar to war by setting compile or runtime scope for it in Maven can lead to another problem:

at java.lang.Class.getAnnotations(Class.java:3446)
at org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource.determineTransactionAttribute(AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource.java:152)
The context won't start as soon as you add #EnableTransactionManagement in your Spring Java config or <tx:annotation-driven/> if you prefer XML. But I do want to use #Transactional annotations in my app. So I am stuck again. Here at least I was able to understand the problem. Spring 4 tries to read annotations on PoolDataSourceImpl to see if the bean needs to proxied to support annotation-based transaction control. The Class#getAnnotations() fails to read annotations on the PoolDataSourceImpl class, because oracle.jdbc.logging.annotations.Feature exists in both jars (ucp and jdbc). And there are 2 class loaders having different instances of Class<oracle.jdbc.logging.annotations.Feature>. The part of introspection capabilities on PoolDataSourceImpl is broken with a weird ArrayStoreExceotion!
The presence of such an error is an argument for keeping both Oracle jars in the same classpath.
If you faced the above problems in 2016 (when there was no higher versions of Oracle driver), what would you do? I am asking this, because the project I work on is a bit stuck in the past. Earlier, upgrading Oracle driver had led to unexpected and unobvious problems in production, so at the nearest release we are hesitant to update the jdbc driver. But since the project was recently upgraded from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 8, there is now a risk to face the missing ResultSetMetaData problem, which should be solved.
I forgot to say: you might face the stacktrace complaining on missing ResultSetMetaData in a previous version of Tomcat: 7.x. But it did not spoil the observable behaviour. Unlike Tomcat 9.x and 8.x, Tomcat 7.x printed the exception once, but somehow managed to execute the query and successfully handle the request. Tomcat 7.x did not break the app. Does it mean that modern Tomcat has the regression which Tomcat 7.x did not have?
The potential memory leak Tomcat warnings
What I also do not like at redeployment is the following lines at logs:
WARNING [Catalina-utility-2] org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.clearReferencesThreads The web application [app##1] appears to have started a thread named [Timer-0] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. Stack trace of thread:

Is it possible to fix them at all? From my tests they are not caused by UCP, but rather come from ojdbc.jar. I did not find any solution here. Neither latest version of ojdbc8 (or ojdbc11), nor using other pools or lifecycle methods of Oracle's UniversalConnectionPoolManager (as suggested here) have helped here.
If you replace ojdbc with postgres database and driver, you won't see similar warnings and your logs will be clean.
The source code
I did not provide any code in the post, it is already pretty long, but I created a repo with the minimal application example and parameterised docker-compose test. So you can easily play with it and reproduce all the problems I mentioned with a single command: docker-compose rm -fs && docker-compose up --build
I am aware that you mentioned I use Spring to manage lifecycle of UCP pool and pass it as a datasource to JdbcTemplate but my advice will be to create your datasource as a tomcat resource (i.e., at the context level):
<Resource
name="tomcat/UCPPool"
auth="Container"
<!-- Defines UCP or JDBC factory for connections -->
factory="oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSourceImpl"
<!-- Defines type of the datasource instance -->
type="oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSource"
description="UCP Pool in Tomcat"
<!-- Defines the Connection Factory to get the physical connections -->
connectionFactoryClassName="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource”
minPoolSize="2"
maxPoolSize="60"
initialPoolSize="15"
autoCommit="false"
user="scott"
password="tiger"
<!-- FCF is auto-enabled in 12.2. Use this property only if you are using Pre 12.2 UCP
fastConnectionFailoverEnabled=”true” -->
<!-- Database URL -->
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=proddbclust
er-scan)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=proddb)))"
</Resource>
The example is obtained from the guide provided for Oracle when describing Configure Tomcat for UCP.
And try to acquire a reference to that datasource through JNDI:
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
final JndiDataSourceLookup dsLookup = new JndiDataSourceLookup();
dsLookup.setResourceRef(false);
DataSource dataSource = dsLookup.getDataSource("tomcat/UCPPool");
return dataSource;
}
You are very likely facing a class loading issue and putting ucp.jar together with ojdbc.jar in your $CATALINA_BASE/lib and configuring this JNDI lookup can solve the problem.
Regarding your warnings, please, consider read this related SO question, especially this answer: it seems that there is a bug in the Oracle JDBC drive and an update to driver version 12.2 should solve the problem.
P.S.: Great question, very well documented!!
The messages "appears to have started a thread named [...] but has failed to stop it" point directly at the heart of the problem, which is a very common issue when re-deploying webapps within a webapp container, whether tomcat or jetty or any other. The issue is that some long-running threads were started by the app, but not explicitly shutdown, so they keep running, and hence they keep an instance of the WebappClassLoader for this webapp in memory, which references the classes previously loaded by it. When you then redeploy the same webapp, a new distinct WebappClassLoader with the same resources is created, which however doesn't have access to the classes loaded by the prior incarnation that the JVM is still referencing, thus leading to the NoClassDefFoundError.
There are only three general means of dealing with this:
a) Always restart the webapp container when redeploying webapps.
b) Fix all code in the webapps so that all such long-running threads are shut down. This means implementing ServletContextListeners that will perform explicit shutdown operations, stopping pool management threads etc. when the ServletContext is stopped (i.e. the webapp is undeployed).
c) Relocate the offending code so it is not loaded by the WebappClassLoader but by the SystemClassLoader, and thus never goes out of scope. In this case you would achieve that by moving the ojdbc.jar to the system classpath (tomcat/lib) and the datasource definition to the server configuration file (tomcat/conf/server.xml). It is anyway a bad practice to include database drivers within a webapp, such fundamental code should be centrally located so that only one instance of it runs within the JVM. Having these inside webapps can lead to conflicts.

in the runtime configuration I put:
-javaagent:C:/Users/kd/workspace/ClassmexerTester/classmexer.jar
That doesn't sound right. You need to pass -javaagent:C:/Users/kd/workspace/ClassmexerTester/classmexer.jar as a JVM argument. You specify these in the JM Arguments pane on your Product configuration's Launching tab.
You will also need the classmexer.jar in the list of included jars on the classpath pane of your plugin.xml's Runtime tab.
I looked at this a bit more, and ended up in the same situation. I don't think there is a simple solution, as the problem stems from the OSGi framwework's use of separate classloaders for loading bundles. See How can I use java.lang.instrument in an Eclipse RCP application?
The issue is the instance of the classmexer agent that is initialised by the -javaagent VM arg is not the same instance as the one we get in our plugin due to the different classloaders in play. The only way I can see of solving this issue is by modifiying the Agent class, either to use the System.properties based mechanism of object sharing given in the example above, or by implementing the Starting Agents After VM Startup mechanism and attaching the agent programatically in your plugin. Both approaches require changing the classmexer Agent class, so aren't immediately viable as the source doesn't seem to be public.
You can however make use of the excelent Application Profiling tools available in the Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform
The following step did the job for me. In Eclipse Java IDE, Go to Run Configuration->Arguments tab and enter "-javaagent:classmexer.jar" under VM arguments and Apply the changes. Make sure classmexer.jar is included in the Eclipse Build path as well.

JSF1.1 Webapp on WebSphere AS 7 IntrospectionException

Got an exception during migration Web application from WAS 6.1 to WAS 7. This application developed using JSF1.1 (MyFaces) + Facelets + Spring (for backing beans). On some pages I'm getting the following exception:

Tried to use different version of facelet library and different EL implementations. Even tried to recompile project using IBM's JDK. Still no success. On Apache Tomcat it works without problem.
In a stacktrace above - IdocAccBean is a regular java bean which extends an abstract class IdocAccCore. If I use other backing beans which extend that class I get the same exception. All other beans not derived from IdocAccCore work correctly. There is nothing special in IdocAccCore class and it's pretty big so I don't think it's necessary to give full source code.
Any suggestions what can be wrong with that IdocAccCore class?
The problem solved by updating IBMs version of JRE. Actually, I was thinking that I'm using the latest version of IBMs JRE. For sure I downloaded one from IBM's siteIBM Development Package for Eclipse. The problem is that this package contains pretty old version of IBM's java 1.6. Fresh version of IBM's java I found in fixpacks for Websphere AS.
You can find detailed list of fixed bugs in IBM's java 1.6 here

XSLT ClassCastException in WebSphere when Spring tries to create an AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter

When starting WebSphere, I get this exception:
Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter]:
Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException:

This doesn't seem have any impact on any beans in my applicationContext.xml but it's still odd. For me, this looks as if IBM classes are leaking into my application.
How can I fix this? I already set the option "Access to internal server classes" to "Restrict".
It was indeed a class-loading issue, however this cannot be solved by changing class-loader settings.
The problem was that the xml-apis and javax.xml jars were being imported over some maven dependencies.
Since we already set the class loader policies for the application to PARENT_LAST, the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory was being loaded from the WebApp-Class loader from our jar files.
However its implementation 'com.ibm.xtq.xslt.jaxp.compiler.TransformerFactoryImpl' was coming from the server class loader, this one was linked to the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory provided by the JDK/JRE.
Since the classes were loaded from different sources a ClassCastException was thrown.
Removing all dependencies to xml-apis / xerces / javax.xml jars solved the problem.
Since these APIs are now part of the JDK they no longer need to be imported.
... and if you wonder why I know so much about this issue: I work together with Aaron. ;)
I can't speak for Restrict as I have no personal experience with it,But I think the problem is more to do with IBM Class Loader. The class you are referring to is part of IBM Java implementation of TransformerFactory, I think you can try one of the following to solve this issue on hand
Either change the server class loader policy to PARENT_LAST (This way class loader will find the class from application's local class path, before going to up the chain all the way to java run time)
The other option would be look at the jaxp.properties file, I think it is located in (was_root\java\jre\lib), I only read about this option never actually used it
Why do you say IBM classes are leaking into your application?
The TransformerFactory is asked to create a newInstance. It follows a sequence of steps to determine which TransformerFactory to use. If none of the config is specified, it simply chooses to use the default factory.
Here is the javadoc for TransformerFactory:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/TransformerFactory.html#newInstance()
What is the OS ? Is that AIX?
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/j664/sdkguide.aix64.html
Looking at this doc (link above) for AIX it tells me that this is the default Impl:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
Selects the XSLT processor. Possible values are:
com.ibm.xtq.xslt.jaxp.compiler.TransformerFactoryImpl
Use the XL TXE-J compiler. This value is the default.
Post back additional information so that we can try and troubleshoot this.

Spring 3 application instantiating a class provided by Tomcat

I have a Spring 3 application that is loading a library. The library consists of JAX-WS generated Java bindings. When the library is included in the WAR file and deployed to Tomcat the application runs great.
However when we moved the library into Tomcat (CATALINA_HOME/lib) Spring is no long able to instantiate classes in the library due to what looks like a classloader issue:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: interface com.sun.xml.ws.developer.WSBindingProvider is not visible from class loader

Unfortunately we need to keep this library external to the application.
I am stumped on how to correct this issue and would appreciate any suggestions.
-Thanks!
are you sure the directory that you placed the library in, is available in the classpath? we normally place our external libraries in common\lib like this.
%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\<yourjar>.jar
And if that didn't work then try explicitly appending the your jar and set in classpath in catalina.bat file.
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\<yourjar>.jar
