Dependency Problems when using Axis 1.4 with OSGi (javax.xml.rpc.Service not found)

thehashcoder Jul 31, 2012 8:00 AM

Hi All,

I am facing some dependency problems when I try to use some Axis classes. I am using JBoss AS 7.1.2 (EAP 6). I have a simple bundle where I have a class which extends from org.apache.axis.client.Service, which has a simple method getGreetings(). (I have attached whole code here)

import org.apache.axis.client.Service;

public class InventoryServiceLocator extends Service{

    /**
     *
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public String getGreetings() {
        return "Helloo EveryOne!!!";
    }

}

I am facing problem when I try to instantiate this class (InventoryServiceLocator). The exception which is thrown is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/rpc/Service. Below is the full stack trace.

I added these capabilities

<capability name="javax.wsdl4j.api"/>
<capability name="javax.xml.rpc.api"/>

You do not need to export the packages from the system CL

Your Ranis bundle starts fine

I then installed your SimpleBundle, which also works

because of the lazy activation policy, it does not resolve/start automatically.

When I start the bundle through the console, I get

which is because Ranis does not have a wire to javax.naming. You need to import that package in Ranis.

3. Re: Dependency Problems when using Axis 1.4 with OSGi (javax.xml.rpc.Service not found)

thomas.diesler Jul 31, 2012 10:16 AM (in response to thomas.diesler)

BTW, you import/export a boat load of stuff from these bundles, which seems like a massive hack.

Instead, I suggest you step back a little and think about the contract between these bundles.

Ranis should only export packages that are part of the public contract. Implemenation details should not be exported. You also would not want to import stuff to Ranis that does not come from a public contract defined else where.

SimpleBundle should only import the public contract from Ranis.

As a starting point

* SimpleBundle uses org.apache.axis.client so that should be exported from Ranis
* Ranis and perhaps SimpleBundle should import javax.wsdl, javax.naming, javax.xml.rpc - these contracts are defined by the respective capability bundles

Start with a small contract, add stuff to the imports/exports as needed. An API that SimpleBundle does not use does not need to get imported nor exported from Ranis.

Not sure if this is the case, but if Ranis is supposed to provide RPC client API - then only export that. If possible I'd also suggest to keep Axis API's local to Ranis. SimpleBundle can probably interface with the standard RPC XML APIs. Doing this is good modularity because you can change the provider of these RPC Client APIs without having to touch SimpleBundle (e.g. switch from Axis to CXF)

And if you want to be a really smart OSGi citizen then Ranis would register a service that SimpleBundle can use to build the RPC client. Only javax.* and your ranis.xml.rpc service package would be public contract. In future you might have multiple providers of that ranis.xml.rpc service. Clients could choose the provider based on service properties. The implementations could be enabled/disabled/updated and so on ...

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for helping me out. I know I am not doing the right thing with imports and exports. But I thought I will some how get this thing work, then improve it. I also forgot to mention that I am able to run this in Equinox inside Eclipse.

I didn't quite get the steps you followed. What I did is, I added both the capabilities as you said. Then deleted all the exports from System CL. But when I started my bundles ( I didn't import javax.naming. yet) I am getting following errors

Are you able to overcome these errors just with these two changes (apart from javax.naming error)?

Do I need to add <extension module="javax.api"/> in standlalone.xml?

I'm doing this on the latest jboss-as/master , which is 7.2.0-Alpha1-SNAPSHOT. This is targeted to come out on 16-Aug-2012
In 7.1.2 the steps should be very similar. You may have to add the servlet-3.0 capability.

Hi Thomas,

Now I am able to run this ( but its a work around).

I added the OSG-fied axis jar ( from Spring repository) and tried to run the same. This threw NoCLassDefFound exceptions for other classes. I downloaded all the dependent jars like this ( it was about 13 bundles). Still I was getting exceptions for packages like "javax.xml.namespace". I created a bundle using "rt.jar", and then it started working fine. I know this is a tweak, but is there a better way? Why these classes are not picked up from framework classpath though I'm adding it to the standlalone.xml?

Thanks
