ClassCastExceptio on deployment (Tomcat)

[eelgueta]

Hi All,

I have a web service client that runs fine as a console application, but when I deploy it to JBoss (4.0.0, with Lomboz plugin) I get the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException:
at org.apache.axis.soap.SOAPConnectionImpl.call(SOAPConnectionImpl.java:103)
at com.mytest.TestWSClient.sendSoapRequest(TestWSClient.java:318)

I tried putting all of the required jars in the lib directory and setting Java2ClassLoadingCompliance to false (UseJBossWebLoader is set to false, too).

Please let me know if code/config files are needed for a better diagnosis. Any help is very welcomed.

TIA,

Ed.

BTW, I'm not using the class that appears in the call traceback: org.apache.axis...

I'm using com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.MessageFactoryImpl, javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory and javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection.

I tried adding the jars to the WEB-INF/lib dir with no success.

Thanks.

The problem was I was using Sun SOAP classes, which apparently JBoss/Tomcat don't like (BTW, I tried putting the jar files in the lib/endorsed directory, and it started to get better, but when I added the Sun's common-logging jar, JBoss web server couldn't start any more. Talk about write once, run anywhere.

I rewrote the code for Axis and it works, at least in JBoss 4.0.0 under Windows. It doesn't work in jboss-4.0.1sp1 under linux. Subject for another thread.
