Project builds fine, but why is JUnit test failing?

Question

The project builds fine, but when I run the Junit test, I get an "failed to load ApplicationContext" exception.

In the JUnit test, the locations of the configuration files are specified like this :

 @ContextConfiguration(locations = {"/application-context.xml", "/db-context-test.xml", "/config-context.xml" })

What's the problem ? How can I find if the application-context.xml file is being properly loaded ?

All the required dependencies should be in the pom.xml. I don't want to add the jars to the classpath, I'd rather make sure they are included in the pom. — jeph perro, Nov 16 '13 at 01:16
Show us your entries for `jaxb-core` and `jaxb-impl` in your `pom.xml`. Maybe we can find the problem there. — phlogratos, Nov 16 '13 at 17:56
I am facing a similar issue... but the same build works fine for other team members. I checked class file is already present in build path. — Tushar, Jun 10 '16 at 20:25

This is a classpath issue, a runtime classpath issue. That's why you can compile, but when you run your code you get an error. As documented here, you need to insert some jars to your classpath.

You're missing com.sun.istack.localization.Localizable at runtime. Add jar containing that class to your classpath.

In the end, we solved the problem by adding all the required classes to the pom

It seems like JUnit uses a different JVM than Maven uses for building, so it didn't matter if I had the correct jar files in the classpath for Maven.
