When I try to invoke my resource provider in AWS CloudFormation, I receive the following error: "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.package.resource.HandlerWrapper"
Resolution
When you develop or test a resource type schema file, you call the cfn test or sam local invoke. If the /target/ directory in your project doesn't contain a valid .jar file, then you receive the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.example.package.resource.HandlerWrapper error.
By default, the .jar file uses the organization-service-resource-handler-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar format and is configured in the pom.xml file in your project's root directory. Example:
<groupId>com.organization.service.resource</groupId>
<artifactId>organization-service-resource-handler</artifactId>
<name>organization-service-resource-handler</name>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
To build your project, run cfn generate and then run mvn package:
cfn generateGenerated files for Organization::Service::Resource
mvn package

If the build and tests are successful, then mvn creates the .jar file in the /target/ directory.
To skip the tests for unit tests that aren't complete, run mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true package instead of mvn package:
cfn generateGenerated files for Organization::Service::Resource
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true package

Note: To troubleshoot the tests, open the /target/surefire-reports directory from your project's root directory.
