JBoss Portal WSRP with WS Stack CXF

[felderr]

We tried to upgrade the JBoss Portal 2.6.6 Webservice Stack from native to CXF but failed with the following error message from the WSRP Stack. For me it seems that the great JBoss Platform is not compatible within itself especially if it comes to the Portal Framework?

We tried with Java 5 and Java 6. If we remove the portal-wsrp.sar within the jboss-portal.sar everything works fine.

So is there any workaround getting portal-wsrp running with the CXF Stack?

Thanks for help
Rene

The WSRP component of JBoss Portal is only compatible with JBoss WS Native for now. There is a good reason for this: the other web service stacks are not compatible with JAX-RPC, which is what was used to implement WSRP because we needed Java 1.4 compliance.
Re-implementing WSRP using JAX-WS is planned, though. You're welcome to contribute. :)

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you already know when JAX-WS implementation will be ready? Just to have an idea wheter it will take 1 month, 1 year or 5 years?
