How do I disable the container's JAX-RS and JAX-WS in a war? - need to deploy legacy JAX-WS/RS application.

sboscarine Dec 18, 2012 10:03 PM

Hello All,

I am porting an application from JBoss EAP 4.3 to EAP 6.0 and am running into an issue because our legacy application bootstraps Apache CXF through Spring to expose services using JAX-RS & JAX-WS.

On EAP6, the container is trying to process the annotations and is running into errors because it doesn't know what to do with my Spring dependencies.

I am deploying this application in an ear and would like to disable JAX-RS and JAX-WS for just that ear. I'd like to port the services to Java EE 6 as time allows, so the new EE6 CD+JAX-RS/WS services will need to co-exist in the same container, but a different war.

I tried doing:

  <!-- Disable built-in EAP6 JAX-RS Annotation Processing -->
  <context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.scan</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.scan.providers</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.scan.resources</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </context-param>

but it still tries to process the services, each annotated with JAX-WS and JAX-RS. Perhaps I need something to disable JAX-WS?

Any other options?

Thanks in advance!

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Development_Guide/Exclude_a_Subsystem_from_a_Deployment.html

speaks on how to disable a subsystem from a deployment but I'm not sure from which version on this applies.

I tried that guide and had issues. From the guide:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <exclude-subsystems>
            <subsystem name="jaxrs" />
        </exclude-subsystems>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

...fails with:

This is saving it in EAR_ROOT/META-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml I think the location/file-name are correct because:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <dependencies>
      <!-- Expose JCA Adapter to get to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection from java.sql.Connection -->
      <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" export="true" />
      <!-- Expose Global JDBC Driver we installed to get to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection class itself -->
      <module name="com.oracle.jdbc" export="true" />
    </dependencies>
  </deployment>

...works and exposes the classes needed.

ctomc Dec 19, 2012 1:24 PM (in response to sboscarine)

Hi,

support for excluding whole subsystem was added with jboss-deployment-description schema 1.2 which is present in all versions since 7.1.2 and up.
so in short that is not part of 7.1.1.Final
but you build 7.1.2/7.1.3 tag or take nightly build.

Hmm, I see EAP 6.0.1 was released yesterday. I've been doing this on EAP 6.0.0. I'll give the latest version a try.

hi,

like that it won't work you need to specify xsd version to use
try with this:
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
    <deployment>
        <exclude-subsystems>
            <subsystem name="jaxrs" />

sboscarine Dec 19, 2012 6:57 PM (in response to ctomc)
Thanks again, Tomaz!

I was able to disable JAX-WS and JAX-RS for my ear in EAP 6.0.1 with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2"> <deployment> <exclude-subsystems> <subsystem name="jaxrs" /> <subsystem name="webservices" /> </exclude-subsystems> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure>

It looks like the two help pages https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Development_Guide/Exclude_a_Subsystem_from_a_Deployment.html and https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/107983 are incorrect.

If anyone else has this issue, I found it helpful to disable JAX-WS at the EAR level using the jboss-deployment-structure.xml above and JAX-RS at the war-level using the context params in web.xml posted above. Disabling at web.xml allows us to let our old war use legacy CXF JAX-RS wired in Spring and we're planning on writing our new code in Java EE6 in a new war.

Hi Tomaz,
I want to disable the container's JAX-WS from within my war file.
I have JBOSS 7.1.0 final.
I tried putting following code in jboss-deployment-structure.xml

<exclude-subsystems>
            <subsystem name="jaxrs" />
            <subsystem name="webservices" />
</exclude-subsystems>

Still it is not working.

I am getting following exception

Hi Nicklas.
First of all thank you very much for your quick reply.
I tried to download JBOSS 7.1.2 from official JBOSS website
http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/

But according to that web page latest version of JBOSS available is 7.1.1 final.
So how can I get JBOSS 7.1.2+
Can u provide me url from where I can download JBOSS 7.1.2.

Thankx in advance.

The latest community (downloadable) release is 7.1.1. You can downloaded the sources for 7.1.2 or 7.1.3 from https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/tags and build it yourself.

Hi Nicklas,
Thankx again for your reply.

JBOSS 7.1.2 is it released or not?

If it is relaesed then why it is not there in JBOSS official website?

If it is not released then
1) It wont do in my case as in my requirement specifications I have to make it work on 7.1.0 (or atleast I can tell them that this works on JBOSS 7.1.2 and 7.1.2 is released)
2) Can u tell me the expected release date for JBOSS 7.1.2?
3) Is there any work around to make it work on 7.1.0 final.

It will be better for me if you can give me work around on 7.1.0 final

7.1.1 is the latest community release (downloadable)
7.1.2, 7.1.3 (and 7.1.4 when it's done) are releases used in the EAP (commercial) scenarios. The base versions for these can still be built from sources
7.2.0 will be the next community release (when it's done)

As for workarounds without subsystem exclusions, you'll have to google around.
