I'm developing an Identity Provider using OpenSAML API.
I have created a java application to test OpenSAML API which was a success.
The problem is now I'm trying to use that java Application in Servlet using glassfish and I'm loosing my mind right now.
Hear me out: before you can start using OpenSAML you have to call it's bootstrap to initiate it's components, one of those components is org.apache.xml.security.Init
so i added xmlsec.jar into libraries but every time I run the WebApplication it keeps on getting an exception:
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.xml.security.Init"
the confusing part is if I remove the xmlsec.jar from libs, it still knows the
import "org.apache.xml.security.Init"
but when I delete that and try to rewrite the same:
import "org.apache.xml.security.Init"
now it fails because now org.apache doesn't have xml.security in it.
any idea guys?
PS: I'm using these: - NetBeans IDE - Glassfish 4.1.1 - Java EE 7 - JDK 1.8
glassfish output:

Turns out you should abandon glassfish and go to JBoss. That solved my problem.
Thanks.
