Integrate Axis 1.2 with JBoss !!

kkanagaraj Apr 22, 2004 5:17 AM

Hi All,

As we know that Axis 1.1 / Jboss.net has many inconsistencies with respect to WS-I Basic Profile 1.0, Particularly Doc/Lit, Iam planning to Integrate Axis 1.2 with Jboss.

I had few thoughts to do this:
1. Remove Axis 1.1 configuration from Jboss.net.sar and add Axis 1.2 in it.
Or
2. In Jboss (Default Mode), just copy the Axis configuration details in to web application directory or deploy directory.

Can any one share their thoughts, whether this approach is feasible enough ?

thanks

1. Are you sure that Jboss 4 has implemented Axis 1.2, coz axis 1.2 itself in a beta version.

Yup, I put it there myself :-)

That should always work, As long as you haven't moved the JBoss.Net stuff, Axis will work on its own.

Without editing the JBoss.Net source in the 3.2.x branch you won't have much success with that. and you can't move the JBoss.Net stuff from 4.x back to 3.2.x either.

If you are not in a production environment, the easiest thing to do would be to just checkout jboss-head from cvs and build that. It does include Axis 1.2 and a JBoss.Net that works with it.

Axis 1.2 is already in JBoss4 (head) as it is required for WSS (wss47j) and Web Service Addressing. It is a simple matter to backport it to JBoss3.2.x however it hasn't been done mostly because there isn't an official release yet.

There is some API change in Axis 1.2 that requires some change in the JBoss.Net classes but I think it is really only a few lines of code.

I tried http://localhost:8080/jboss-net/ - It works fine, but when I invoke any webservice in it, it throws an exception to me :

Jason,

Check this link:
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=html&op=userdisplay&id=developers/projects/jboss/dotnet

It clearly states that Jboss3.2.*, Jboss 4.0 and Head all implements Axis 1.1.

Are you really sure that Jboss 4.0 implements Axis 1.2 ??

thanks,

you will have to check it out from cvs

there is a bit of info available here:

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=22866

the command to get jboss-head is

cvs -q -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss co jboss-head

NOTE: head is where the heavy development is happening so it may not be completely stable at any given moment, but it will give you a chance to try out JBoss.Net with Axis 1.2

I happen to be trying to do this right now .. there are 4 errors after dropping Axis head into the source tree .. two have to do with preventing EJB interface methods from being exposed in the webservice, but that interface in ServiceDesc has been replaced by one which allows/disallows methods instead of classes .. havn't figured out correct form to give it method names, so I commented it out for now. The other two are what breaks the MBean .. I'm trying to figure out how to handle them now. Anyone want to share info, email me at johnsortnet

Turned out to be pretty easy .. issues were all related to refactoring of JavaServiceDesc from ServiceDesc (I suppose to support C?). Anyway, casting ServiceDesc to JavaServiceDesc at the 4 error points seems to have made it all work .. unfortunately it didn't fix my particular problems, but it did change them ..

Axis 1.2RC1 is out and could be the last version before 1.2 final.

Is it possible to hope to see this version included in any release of JBoss 3.2.x (maybe 3.2.6 ??) ?

Thanks

The JBoss.NET project webside is out of date. Sorry about it - I'll deal with it. There is no Axis-1.2 support in any of the branches and not in head either.

Currently we use an axis-1.1 derivative that is BasicProfile-1.0 compliant. Axis in JBoss has entered maintenance and will no be developed further. Instead we plan to integrate our own SOAP stack - a.k.a. JBossWS

Can you use J2EE complatible webservices with JBossWS?

I'm not sure to understand.
OK, Jboss.Net is dead, and JbossWS replaces it. But will JbossWS be integrated into 3.2.x branche ?

I don't see anything which prevents us from using it.

We just need to update our web-service.xml file to be compliant with the new web service syntaxe, no ?

As of version jboss-3.2.6 and jboss-4.0.0 we use a derivative of the latest stable axis-1.1 version. The jar is called axis-ws4ee.jar and is shared between the two jboss branches. It is J2EE-1.4 and BasicProfile-1.0 compliant.

Any other other version of Axis than the one we distribute is not supported by JBoss.
