Description Marek Baluch 2011-08-23 10:21:43 UTC

project_key: SOA

After CXF installer has been run files: 

1) server/*/deploy/soap.esb/jaxws-rt-2.1.7.jar/META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider
2) jboss-as/client/jaxws-rt.jar/META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider 

define the old provider class com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl instead of org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl.
This can obviously lead to issues when an attempt will be made to use the old provider instead of the new one.

Comment 1 Alessio Soldano 2011-08-23 16:04:09 UTC

The provider to be used (which is not even the org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl, but an extension of that from jbossws-cxf) should actually be controlled by the jbossws-cxf-factories.jar, which is to be installed in lib/endorsed. There seems to be a problem with the cxf-installer which is probably not copying it, can you please check and confirm?

Comment 2 Douglas Palmer 2011-08-23 18:46:39 UTC

jbossws-cxf-factories.jar isn't installed; it doesn't even exist in the installer.

Comment 4 Alessio Soldano 2011-08-24 14:56:46 UTC

OK, Douglas told me the installer for jbossws-cxf-3.1.2.SP8 is being used (I thought the latest one was used here instead). jbossws-cxf-factories.jar was not actually there yet in SP8 (it's been introduced in 3.1.2.SP9). I've fixed the installer bug for 3.1.2.SP9 (see JBPAPP-7074). Speaking of this issue with SP8, instead, the provider resolution is currently dependant on how the classpath is defined. The jbossws-cxf-client has the proper jaxws spi provider definition so everything works fine if jbossws-cxf-client.jars comes before jaxws-rt.jar in the classpath.
The proper way for fixing this would be to do something similar to what we have in SP9, ie having a descriptor only jars in lib/endorsing containing the proper META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider .
Please let me know how you want to proceed.
