org.opensaml.xml.schema.impl.XSAnyBuilder cannot be cast to org.opensaml.core.xml.XMLObjectBuilder when running on Tomcat8

Ask Question

I have a saml project based on opensaml which is running OK on tomcat7. Our company is upgrading to tomcat8 and I can't run it. The error message is

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.opensaml.xml.schema.impl.XSAnyBuilder cannot be cast to org.opensaml.core.xml.XMLObjectBuilder

I did some research online and some articles say it may be the reason I mix using opensaml 2 and 3. However, I only use opensaml 3. Here is the pom.xml and error log

Can somebody give some help? Thanks a lot
                Change your last dependency...  FYI, OpenSAML 2.x will be the xmltooling, openws and opensaml2 jars.  3.x will be entirely opensaml-<modulename> jars with 3.x.x version numbers. Last response at the bottom from here
