Issues ****** If the container cannot see your service, then check the actual ``MANIFEST.MF`` file in your ``jar`` file. In my case it was being overwritten by Maven. To solve the problem, I added the following to the ``pom.xml`` file: :: maven-compiler-plugin 1.5 1.5 org.apache.maven.plugins maven-jar-plugin src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF This can be added to the parent ``pom.xml`` file.
