javax.inject.DefinitionException: import not a Java type

[suresh.korlapati]

All,

I am trying to deploy webservices using CXF on JBoss5.1.0. Getting the below error. It works well in JBoss4.2.2.

Any help is highly appreciated....

BTW, I am not using jbossws-cxf-3.2.0.GA

my war files has all the required CXF libraries as per

http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/writing-a-service-with-spring.html

[suresh.korlapati]

my beans.xml looks like

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

[jim.ma]

This error looks not related to jbossws-cxf . Did you try to deploy this webservice(.war) file directly under deploy directory instead of nested it in an ear file ?

[suresh.korlapati]

The war is part of a EAR file

[suresh.korlapati]

I tried depoying just the war file which has the cxf webservice, get this error

[suresh.korlapati]

first of all, i want to thank you for taking time to respond

[suresh.korlapati]

when i deployed as a EAR file i initially got this error

then on some jboss forum, got to suggestion to copy webbeans-core.jar from ../server/rsc/deployers/webbeans.deployer/lib-int/webbeans-core.jar to ../server/rsc/lib. did that, after which i started getting the "import not java type " error.

Jim Ma is right, your usecase is not supported with JBossWS CXF :(
Why don't you use JBossWS CXF to deploy web services?
Or you are missing some functionality in JBossWS CXF?

[suresh.korlapati]

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I tried using jbossws-cxf stack and is working for me.

Thanks

Hi there,

I see you've found a solution to this by using stack, but you could also solve this issue by keeping Apache CXF core configuration.
I came across the same issue today and found a simple solution. Here's the long story shorted.
I'm used to develop a service with Tomcat as a simple runner first. So I started creating my service following Apache CXF's "how-to" pages, ending up with :
- a file named /WEB-INF/beans.xml describing my endpoint and my Spring application context.
- a web.xml file referencing this Spring context configuration file this way :

<context-param>
 <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
 <param-value>WEB-INF/alpha-beans.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

It worked well with Tomcat, but when deployed to JBoss, the XML parsing fails with the stack you showed us in a previous post, something like :

Caused by: javax.inject.DefinitionException: import not a Java type

So I started looking for the 'import' word in my xml files and guess what I found very quickly. There are some imports done in the context configuration file to reference CXF xml files located in the jars. If you followed Apache CXF "how-to" section you're more than likely to have them in your "beans.xml" file. You should see something like this :

<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

So I commented these just to see what it would change in Jboss' behaviour. It did and it was now crashing on the word 'bean'. (which at the moment was the first uncommented tag of the "beans.xml" file).

Caused by: javax.inject.DefinitionException: bean not a Java type

From that I understood I could not use the reserved name "beans.xml" in my war and renamed this file to "alpha-beans.xml". I also changed the reference to this file in the web.xml like this :

<context-param>
 <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
 <param-value>WEB-INF/alpha-beans.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

and it did the trick perfectly.

Cheers,

Jerome

Thanks Jerome, your answer helped me.

thanks a ton for explaining very cleanly. It realy helped.
