I am preparing an war file for an application. The build is through maven. After deploying the application, the web server log says it can't load the bean.


I checked in the WEB-INF/lib it has a serializer.jar which has org/apache/xml/serializer/OutputPropertiesFactory class in it.


Not sure whats going wrong ? Any help is really appreciated.


This is the error I see in the web server log:
