jboss-4.0.2 jboss-ws4ee.war won't deploy

[frankgrimes]

In jboss-4.0.2's jboss-ws4ee.war, the web.xml file defines the following:

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>JBossAxisAdminServlet</servlet-name>
 <display-name>JBoss-Axis Admin Servlet</display-name>
 <servlet-class>org.jboss.webservice.server.JBossAdminServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

When starting either the all or default server directory that come with jboss-4.0.2, the following error appears in the log:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.webservice.server.JBossAdminServlet

I searched the jboss-4.0.2 distribution and couldn't find that class anywhere.
I even checked CVS under the webservice sub-project.

Unless I'm missing something, this looks like a bug in the jboss-4.0.2 distribution.

I see no such error in the startup of the default configuration:

[starksm@banshee9100 default]$ grep JBossAdminServlet log/server.log
[starksm@banshee9100 default]$

and the webservice unit tests all pass without this servlet. It was removed from the webservice tree and should be removed from the jboss-ws4ee.war web.xml.

Hmm, it looks like jbossweb-tomcat55.sar is pretty lenient about invalid web.xml files.

The java.lang.ClassNotFoundException only appeared when I tried to deploy jboss-ws4ee.war with jbossweb-jetty.sar (built from jetty-5.1.4rc0).
Tomcat deployed the war file without so much as a warning.

Also, Jetty complained about the lack of a proper DOCTYPE entry.
Could a DOCTYPE entry for jboss-ws4ee.war/WEB-INF/web.xml be added?

e.g.

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

Thanks!

This has been fixed in Branch_4_0.

Thanks.
