Where to download JBoss.net /Jboss soap implementation?

[hidefguy]

Hi;
I see posts about the jboss.net module but don't see anything at all written about where to get this module from.
any suggestions?
thanks

I believe jboss.net is part of the default distribution in Jboss 3.0 (look for jboss-net.sar in the deploy directory.)

That said, documentation is still more or less non-existant. The source code is your best bet, along with the axis mailing lists http://xml.apache.org/axis/

For example code you'll have to check cvs.

one additional note: It is configured by default to work with Jetty. In theory it should work with tomcat(aka catalina) as well, but it resisted my efforts to configure it properly. (The service would start, but deploy correctly.)

[hidefguy]

Thanks for the information; does this mean that the JBoss SOAP implementation *doesn't* in practise work with TomCat? (This I think would be a problem for me)

Hi, seems like that for me too... the service starts up and seems to be active - but the servlet isn't correctly deployed... it might have something to do with the way jetty is set up and with this warnings... (using jboss 3.0.0RC1 with catalina 4.0.3)...

...at first sight anything looks great, doesn't it? But at a second one... mhh... whatever this means... guess the context /axis/* is something Tomcat doesn't understand...

Does anybody have a glue?

>The scratchDir you specified: C:\Programme\Java\jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3\catalina\work\localhost\_axis_* is unusable.

Well, if you are running under Linux, I would guess this is your problem

Under win, looks like a typo on in file list (Programme?). Is this a configurable value?

The more I think about this (the more my head hurts) My guess is that the Servlet requires some sort of temp directory, but there is path problem. It may be that the code uses the / value instead of getting the system property for the path divider. So if the servlet is devloped on Unix, works fine, run on WIndows, no go.

[akirchhofer]

Hi,

thanks a lot... that's the way I saw it too... but the path is assembled in some way out of the system variables, in this case JBOSS_HOME or JBOSS_DIST respectively...

The strange thing on it is, that the rest of the java/jboss/tomcat whatsoever environment takes this kind of path jumble without grumbling... strange but o.k.

I don't know it, but in the end I think that this "*" at the end of this value is the mischief for tomcat... my problem is, I don't know how to configure the "web.xml" in the jboss-net.sar package to suite tomcat with /axis instead of /axis/*...

Guys,

looks like my fault. In org.jboss.axis.server.AxisService.startService(), it reads:

// we use the root context as URL infix
String rootContext = "/" + getRootContext() + "/*";

should be

// we use the root context as URL infix
String rootContext = "/" + getRootContext();


????

Could anyone try that out before I go an check that in?

Thx,
CGJ

[cgjung]

I committed the rootCOntext change and tested it successfully with Jetty. Anyone that tries it with Catalina, please?

Hi

I successfully tested it with Tomcat 4.0.3 EmbededCatalinaSX (JBoss3.0.0RC1). I compiled the jboss-net.sar and put it in the deploy directory.

greets
