DII webservice client works using jdk1.4.2_07 but not with j

[sirwio]

Hi,

I have successfully deployed a webservice on jboss-4.0.1. I used the guide on http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/research/asg/ws4ejb/ when developing the webservice. The jdk used compiling and running jboss is jdk1.5.0_01.

I did however have problems connecting to the webservice using a dii client. By accident I compiled and ran the client using jdk1.4.2_07 and it worked!

What can be the cause of this? How do I make my client work on jdk 1.5?
The exception throw is:

Can you create a sample deployment that allows me to reproduce what you are seeing?

Please create a JIRA issue for this.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS

[sirwio]

Ok,

Created JIRA issue and attached eclipe projects that can reproduce the problem.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-92

I don't use eclipse. Could you please provide a deployment (ear) that shows the issue. Ideally, the test client is a servlet, so I only need to click on a link.

You need to reopen this issue again for me to see your change.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1826 solves the issue

I have had some time to investigate this further lately. Funny is that the dii code works fine when used from a servlet!!!

The following matrix sums it up...

Application with jboss 4.0.1 jaxrpc libraries = jbossjaxrpc
Application with axis 1.1 jaxrpc libraries = axisjaxrpc
Application with jwsdp-1.5 jaxrpc libraries = jwsdpjaxrpc

 servlet jbossjaxrpc axisjaxrpc jwsdpjaxrpc
jdk 1.4.2 OK OK OK NOT TESTED

jdk 1.5.0_01 OK FAILS FAILS OK

My guess is that, as David mentions, this is something that has been fixed in axis lately - issue AXIS-1826

Any chance of getting the axis fix into jboss?

Hi again!

I'm getting more and more confused. I thought I might get the jboss proprietary createService method a shot while testing my dii java client. This was using jdk 1.4.2 and jboss supplied jax-rpc libraries. It turns out it throws the following exceptions when excecuted:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/xni/parser/XMLEntityResolver
 at org.jboss.xml.binding.Unmarshaller.<init>(Unmarshaller.java:53)
 at org.jboss.webservice.metadata.jaxrpcmapping.JavaWsdlMappingFactory.parse(JavaWsdlMappingFactory.java:59)
 at org.jboss.webservice.client.ServiceFactoryImpl.createService(ServiceFactoryImpl.java:158)

 at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324)
 at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:78)

I then realized that this might be an xmp parser thingy and included the jboss endorsed xercesImpl.jar to my configuration and voila it works.

I then switched to jdk 1.5.0_01 and tried again and now it works both with code using the jboss proprietary createService method and the standard one!!!!

Whats the correct usage of the jboss client libraries? Shall a client depend on jboss endorsed libs?

If JBWS-92 is a result from a mistake by me not including the correct libs pleas close the issue.

Your client needs to see a namespace aware parser, which saxon that comes with jdk-1.4 is not.

[thomas.diesler]

For simplicity, we use the same endorsed mechanism on the client as on the server side

[sirwio]

Your client needs to see a namespace aware parser, which saxon that comes with jdk-1.4 is not.

Isn't this sort of contradictory to what I see in the version/clientlib matrix in my previous post?
With jdk-1.4 I can run the example fine from a dii client using only jars from jboss-4.0.1/client/
With jdk-1.5 I need to include the endorsed xercesImpl.jar for the dii client to work as expected.

[thomas.diesler]

I recommend you use xerces from lib/endorsed with both jdk-1.4 & jdk5

Thank you for this follow up post. I had this same issue and adding xercesImpl.jar to my configuration worked for me as well. -Ryan
