JSR 181 @HandlerChain annotation w/ custom loader repository

[deas0815]

Hallo everybody,

I'm running jboss 4.0.4 GA w/ jbossws 1.0.3 GA and I'm encountering "Cannot process handler chain: resource://config/ServerHandlers.xml".

It seems to be related w/ the custom loader-repository I'm using - the resource exists
in the ejb-jar.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-996
says "Absolute URLs using the resource protocol seem to work for a flat class loading model, but not for a custom loader repository in the .ear file."

I've tried using a relative resource:config/ServerHandlers.xml does not work either.

How does one make JSR-181 Security work with the ejb3 embedded in an .ear with
a custom loader repository ?

regards
Andreas

According to JSR181 the handler file can also be specified relative to the endpoint class. The logic we use is

 URL fileURL = null;
 String filename = anHandlerChain.file();

 // Try the filename as URL
 try
 {
 fileURL = new URL(filename);
 }
 catch (MalformedURLException ex)
 {
 // ignore
 }

 // Try the filename as File
 if (fileURL == null)
 {
 try
 {
 File file = new File(filename);
 if (file.exists())
 fileURL = file.toURL();
 }
 catch (MalformedURLException e)
 {
 // ignore
 }
 }

 // Try the filename as Resource
 if (fileURL == null)
 {
 fileURL = epMetaData.getResourceLoader().getResource(filename);
 }

 // Try the filename relative to class
 if (fileURL == null)
 {
 String packagePath = wsClass.getPackage().getName().replace('.', '/');
 fileURL = epMetaData.getClassLoader().getResource(packagePath + "/" + filename);
 }

 if (fileURL == null)
 throw new WSException("Cannot resolve URL to handler file: " + filename);

relative to class is available from jbossws-1.0.4
