I am trying to create a sample axis2 ServiceClient. It is throwing below error

org.apache.axiom.om.OMException: No meta factory found for feature 'default'; this usually means that axiom-impl.jar is not in the classpath

The axiom-impl.jar is present in the classpath. Below is the code snippet. In the console I can see that sysout statement "Entered" is displayed, after that its throwing error at ServiceClient object creation. Have tried using different versions of the axiom-impl.jar (1.2.12, 1.2.13, 1.2.7, 1.2.5) but still getting the same error. 

     public static String testFunction(String testData) throws Exception {
     System.out.println("Entered");
    //Create a service client
    ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient();
    System.out.println("Before calling set end point");
    //Set the endpoint address
    client.getOptions().setTo(new EndpointReference(EPR));
    System.out.println("After calling set end point");
    System.out.println("getPayload(url)="+getPayload(testData));
    //Make the reqest and get the response
    OMElement resp = client.sendReceive(getPayload(testData));
    //Extract the URL and return
    return extractUrl(resp);
}

I had the same error but finally got solved by using axiom-api 1.2.12 and axiom-impl 1.2.12 after long struggle.

Solved this by replacing all the three individual axiom jars( axiom-impl-1.2.13.jar, axiom-dom-1.2.13.jar and axiom-api-1.2.13.jar) by just axiom.jar.

when I use above jar I got another error. java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.factory.OMLinkedListImplFactory

I had to increase version to 1.2.14 of each jar

I had the same error. I did replace the individual axiom jars( axiom-impl-1.2.13.jar, axiom-dom-1.2.13.jar and axiom-api-1.2.13.jar) by just axiom.jar, but the error still happening.

The root cause of the error was the location of META-INF/axiom.xml file. In my case, the XMLParser of the J2EE server container can not open the axion.xml file when it be localized within a jar file.

I had to copy META-INF/axiom.xml into WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/axiom.xml .
