HELP! Can not deploy even the simplest web service
Hello -
I'm very new to JBoss (done a lot of Tomcat), so please forgive the question if it is really basic. However, I am having the most frustrating time installing, configuring and deploying a WAR to JBoss. First, I'm using JBoss 4.2.2GA, WS 2.0.3GA, and Java 1.6 running on Windows.
I have tried following the instructions both on the JBoss site and postings I've found online to get everything installed, but the instructions never seem to match exactly what I have. For example, trying to compile the test suite once I think I have the JBossWS installed. Either files are missing from the package I downloaded from the JBoss site, or the Ant task fails with errors. I have copied the various JaxB JARs to the endorsed LIB, etc.
I think I have JBoss and JBossWS installed correctly, but I don't know for sure.
I then wrote a simple web service in Eclipse (Ganymede) and tried to deploy it using Eclipse's built in deploy and by dropping the WAR in the deploy directory. When I do, I get the following error:
16:51:34,796 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not start deployment: file:/C:/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/EchoService.war java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.wsf.common.JavaUtils.getPackageName(JavaUtils.java:535) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.wsdl.WSDLUtils.getTypeNamespace(WSDLUtils.java:700) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.processWebService(JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.java:304) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.buildWebServiceMetaData(JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.java:108) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSServerMetaDataBuilder.setupProviderOrWebService(JAXWSServerMetaDataBuilder.java:50) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSMetaDataBuilderJSE.buildMetaData(JAXWSMetaDataBuilderJSE.java:63) at org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.UnifiedMetaDataDeploymentAspect.create(UnifiedMetaDataDeploymentAspect.java:66) at org.jboss.wsf.framework.deployment.DeploymentAspectManagerImpl.deploy(DeploymentAspectManagerImpl.java:115) at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss42.ArchiveDeployerHook.deploy(ArchiveDeployerHook.java:97) at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss42.DeployerInterceptor.start(DeployerInterceptor.java:90) at org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployerInterceptorSupport$XMBeanInterceptor.start(SubDeployerInterceptorSupport.java:188) at org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployerInterceptor.invoke(SubDeployerInterceptor.java:95) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy45.start(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.start(MainDeployer.java:1025) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:819) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:782) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor21.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:155) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor.invoke(AbstractInterceptor.java:133) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.invoke(ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.java:142) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy9.deploy(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.deploy(URLDeploymentScanner.java:421) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.scan(URLDeploymentScanner.java:634) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.doScan(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:263) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.loop(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:274) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.run(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:225)
I have been struggling with this for days, and I really don't know what I'm doing wrong or what state my environment is in. I would sincerely appreciate ANY help anyone can give - I am truly at the end of my rope.
Thanks,
Seth
