Unable to deploy a war(includes web services)packaged into EAR on jboss 5.0.1 GA

[madhujr]

I am new to web services and wanted to develop one
I used the following softwares / IDE
Eclipse 3.4.2
Apache Ant 1.7
Jboss AS 5.0.1
JBoss ws 2.0
jbossws-native-bin-dist 3.2.1GA
sun jdk 1.6.0_12

So i started off quite well configuring all that is required to create a web service
i took the help of eclipse ide tools like create web service and create web service clients.

when i created the web project in eclipse i selected the option add project to ear.
and finally i start the jboss server with in eclipse and add project the ear file that contains the war file.
just when i thought all is fine the server throws an error

13:01:52,929 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Real: name=vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/all/deploy/TempWsEAR.ear/ state=PreReal mode=Manual requiredState=Real
org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error during deploy: vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/all/deploy/TempWsEAR.ear/TempWs.war/

I have searched jira  to find a solution for this , but i think i couldnt find an appropriate solution

I am not sure if the search critirea i entered was close to the issue.

The log pasted below is the one when i start jboss from with in eclipse .

Also i have attached a log file when i start jboss from the command prompt with the same ear deployed in C:/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/all/deploy/

13:01:52,929 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Real: name=vfsfile:/C:/jboss-5.0.1.GA/server/all/deploy/TempWsEAR.ear/ state=PreReal mode=Manual requiredState=Real

Please help.

Hi,

does your EAR/WAR contain JBoss JAR files? The error sounds like some old JBoss JAR.

I suspect JBoss WS. You claim that you use 2.0. Why this? Current release is 3.2.2 ( http://www.jboss.org/jbossws ), and JBoss 5.0.1 bundles 3.0.5 (see Manifest.mf in file "jboss-5.0.1.GA\server\default\deployers\jbossws.deployer\jbossws-framework.jar")

Hope this helps

Wolfgang

I see that your list of software is missing JBoss Tools. Why not install JBoss Tools into Eclipse and use it's web service capabilities? The Toold documentaiton even contains a tutorial on building web services.  (Also, I recommend moving up to the latest version of Eclipse, the older version you are using might not have the best support for JBoss AS 5.x)

Or if you want to roll your own by hand, go to http://www.manning.com/jamae and download the free chapter 9, it tells you everything you need to know to develop and deploy a web service to JBoss AS 5.x, and all you need is a text editor.

Thanks for all your help guys,

The good news is the issue is resolved.

Actaully if we see the section mentioned in http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossWS-Installation

Using JBossWS Native with JDK 6

Copy the following jars to ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib/endorsed from <JBossWS-Dist>/lib for JBossWS since 3.0.2 version:

• jaxb-api.jar
• jbossws-native-jaxrpc.jar
• jbossws-native-jaxws.jar
• jbossws-native-jaxws-ext.jar
• jbossws-native-saaj.jar

  one might face the error what i have faced even after following the instructions mentioned here.

Here is what i did to resolve the issue.

copy the jbossws-jboss501.jar from <JBossWS-Dist>/lib  to {JBOSS_HOME}/server/all(the server instance

mentioned in ant properties)/lib.

This resolved the issue. Can we add this step to the instructions.

Is this already there as part of JIRA i am not sure.

You guys are really great

Thanks jboss community.
