    web services issues

    peterj

      I have been playing around with web services on CR1 and noticed a few issues (my apologies if these are already known issues or were mentioned earlier):

      1) The wsrunclient script includes the non-existent client/jbossws-client.jar file in the classpath. I can only assume that this file includes (via one mechanism or anoher) several of the other jar files found in client because I had to add 16 of the client jar files to the classpath to get the client to run.

      2) When JBossAS is started, if the web service archive (whether JAR or WAR) is already in the deploy directory, get an NPE. Deploying the archive after the app server has started works fine.

      3) According to the conclusions of the comments for JBWS-1439, there would be no modifications necessary to the JBossAS installation to run with JDK 6. Yet the indicated JAR files do not appear in the lib/endorsed directory, and thus using JDK 6 does not work until the files are manually copied.

      By the way, I am placing these issues here rather than in the web services forum because I believe these are packaging issues with JBossAS.

          Regarding issue #3, I can find only one of the JAR files listed in JBWS-1439 (jaxb-api.jar). Which is a good reason for the files to already appear in lib/endorsed - every time a new version come out it seems that all of the jar files have been renamed and classes moved around.

            What the heck, one more, but this is web-services specific:

            4) In the betas, standard-jaxws-client-config.xml was optional, but now is required. Is is probably due to the upgrade to web services 3.0.2. But will this file still be required for web service clients when AS 5.0 GA comes out? Seems silly to have a configuration files that is for, all intents and purposes, empty (or with default content - what happened to configuration by exception?)

              Is this:
              - http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5732
              the same?

                Yes, #2 is JBAS-5732, except 5732 mentions only EJBs - it happens for POJO web services also.
