Can I use Xfire with SpringBoot?

Question

My application uses Xfire as a web service client, It a legacy system where service is written in Perl, I am modifying/rewriting application with Spring boot, when I add the Maven dependency, it shows error when I try to build

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
            <artifactId>xfire-core</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.6</version>            
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
            <artifactId>xfire-spring</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.6</version>            
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
            <artifactId>xfire-aegis</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.6</version>            
        </dependency>

[ERROR] contextLoads(com.au.cis.IPND.IpndApplicationTests) Time elapsed: 0.001 s <<< ERROR! java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'spring.datasource-org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/jdbc/datasource/embedded/EmbeddedDatabaseType Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceProperties]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/jdbc/datasource/embedded/EmbeddedDatabaseType Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/jdbc/datasource/embedded/EmbeddedDatabaseType Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.embedded.EmbeddedDatabaseType'

I don't know where database has been used

Answer 1

EmbeddedDatabaseType is part of spring-jdbc, so I would suggest adding the following dependency (if you do not already have it):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Please do adjust the version number (5.2.1.RELEASE) to match your other Spring dependencies!
