Need help to configure webservices by disabling JBossWs

[rishikesh.dalvi]

I am migrating my application from weblogic to WildFly10. I have application specific webservice working in weblogic. Same i am trying to make use of in WildFly. However i am facing issues while deploying application. Error details are as follows

The webservices subsystem is properly excluded, assuming that's what you're really trying to do and you know what you're doing. However, by excluding the webservices subsystem, you're also preventing the jaxws apis from being exported to your deployment. So you likely need to provide the required jaxws api libs. Generally speaking, if you have doubts, please read Chapter 5. Advanced User Guide

I also have exact same problem. We have JBoss EAP 7. In my project CXF is used for JAX-RS (rest services only) and JAX-WS (soap client only) and i want to disable webservices sub-system so that can use embedded cxf.

I've got all required libraries/dependencies defined in pom.xml. I'm surprised to see that no solution available on stackoverflow or jboss developer forum, since this doesn't sound like a unique requirement when you want to override the server jars with your pom.xml dependencies. Also I went through all the documentation available for JBoss EAP 7 and nothing is useful including the link mentioned in above post ( Chapter 5. Advanced User Guide)

I get below error after disabling it-

[rajeshvyasdev]

For anyone else who is facing above issue. Here is the solution. Add below dependency in pom/classpath-

    <dependency>

      <groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId>

      <artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId>

      <version>2.2.9</version>

    </dependency>

javax.xml.ws.Endpoint is available in JBoss modules jar. During deployment conflict arises since it's in a different module and you've removed webservices dependency so webapp classloader doesn't see it (I'm assuming classloader look up hierarchy is another issue here since this class is available as part of JDK, ideally JBoss should have honored JDK classpath).
