Upgrading from JBoss 4.0.0 to 4.0.4, jax-rpc problems

[mdhuyn]

Hi, we're in the process of upgrading to 4.0.4 and the only thing not working is our web services.

The problem is that we're using old jax-rpc jar files (from 2003), and when it's deployed jax-rpc StreamHandler is expecting com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.* classes but it's getting org.jboss.ws.soap.* classes.

It seems we can't remove JBossWS, so is the only solution to upgrade and use jsr191 with annotations, etc.? We'd like to get JBoss upgraded first and the web services after if possible. If not, can someone point me to a good tutorial/guide for converting our current implementation?

I'm a newbie to the project/JBoss, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

There's not a really simple upgrade path (in terms of it happening automatically). I suggest reading the JBossWS User guide, and go through some examples.

There will probably be a small learning curve, but it's worth it. I'm using JSR181 endpoints, so everything can be set using annotations -- a big productivity boost! Plus, JBoss WS supports (or will soon support) many of the latest WS standards.

Good luck!
