Weblogic porting issue

Hi,
Iam trying to port my service running fine in tomcat to weblogic. I read through the topics discussed and did the following. (My WLS version is 9.1)

1) Introduced a weblogic.xml in WEB-INF/. with the below said description.

Code:

---

          <!-- This is required for weblogic server -->
        <weblogic-web-app>
            <container-descriptor>
            <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
            </container-descriptor>
        </weblogic-web-app>

---

2) Downloaded Axis 2 to get access to the following resources.
(Easiest way to get the dependent jars found inside the lib of axis 2)

Code:

---

<!-- To Make Weblogic work with the application-->

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>xerces</groupId>
                        <artifactId>xerces</artifactId>
                        <version>2.8.1</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>xalan</groupId>
                        <artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
                        <version>2.7.0</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
                        <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
                        <version>1.3.03</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>stax-api</groupId>
                        <artifactId>stax-api</artifactId>
                        <version>1.0.1</version>
                </dependency>

---

3) After doing the above i added the line in my spring context/application xml

Code:

---

<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory">
            <property name="payloadCaching" value="true"/>
        </bean>

---

4) When i tried invoking the WSDL from the url it gave me CLASSDEFOUND for "SOAP11Factory". Hence included

Code:

---

<dependency>
                <groupId>axiom-impl</groupId>
                        <artifactId>axiom-impl</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.4</version>
                </dependency>

---

Which gave rise to CLASSDEFOUND "SOAPFactory" hence included

Code:

---

<dependency>
                <groupId>axiom-api</groupId>
                        <artifactId>axiom-api</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.4</version>
                </dependency>

---

Which gives me

Code:

---

java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamInputFactory

---

Did i do the right steps ? If not please help me resolve this.

Thanks and warm regards

With a little searching in the Spring-WS forum I found up this thread. I think it's related. More specifically, take a look at http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.js...05929&tstart=0

Hi Arjen,
I did those steps and still didnt help me.
I can put the step by step process and the errors occurred.

Finally landed here again.

Code:

---

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamInputFactory
        at javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory.newInstance(XMLInputFactory.java:136)
        at org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory.(AxiomSoapMessageFactory.java:89)

Thanks
Vignesh

Did you also add WoodStox as a dependency? I think Axis2 depends on it.

Hi Arjen,
I think iam completely confused.
I ported the echo.war from spring-ws.1.0rc1 into weblogic 9.1
I got the error as shown in http://static.springframework.org/sp...j-nosuchmethod

Hence added the following as given in the site.

Code:

---

<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory">
            <property name="messageFactory"  ref="sunMessageFactory"/>
        </bean> 
   
    <bean id="sunMessageFactory"
                class="com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.MessageFactoryImpl">
        </bean>

---

at the spring-ws-servlet.xml.

Now I get

Code:

---

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement.getElementQName()Ljavax/xml/namespace/QName;
        at org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.Saaj13Implementation.getName(Saaj13Implementation.java:65)

---

What steps to make the service work ?
(The WSDL was generated properly)

Thanks
Vignesh

Hi Arjen,
I tried using the Axiom provider.

Hence included

Code:

---

        <bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory">
            <property name="payloadCaching" value="true"/>
        </bean>

---

into the **-servlet.xml.

And added the following in the POM.

Code:

---

<dependency>
                        <groupId>axiom-impl</groupId>
                        <artifactId>axiom-impl</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.4</version>
                </dependency>
               
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>axiom-api</groupId>
                        <artifactId>axiom-api</artifactId>
                        <version>1.2.4</version>
                </dependency>

---

When i invoke the service I get the following error.

Here is the request sent from SOAP UI.

Code:

---

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:echo="http://www.springframework.org/spring-ws/samples/echo">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
      <echo:echoRequest>vignesh</echo:echoRequest>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

---

Here is the response from the server.

Code:

---

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soapenv:Body>
      <soapenv:Fault>
        <faultcode>soapenv:Server</faultcode>
        <faultstring xmlns:lang="en">java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Local name may not be null or empty</faultstring>
      </soapenv:Fault>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Here is the server error trace.

Any help to solve this would be appreciated.

What steps to make the service work ?

Can you please be a bit more specific as to what you're using, it's starting to get a bit confusing with so many different questions :)

First the SAAJ problem: I think you're still bundling the SAAJ 1.3 jar with your application. javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement.getElementQName() is part of SAAJ 1.3. Weblogic 9 doesn't support SAAJ 1.3, it supports SAAJ 1.1. So you need to drop saaj-api-1.3.jar and saaj-impl-1.3.jar and use the ones provided by BEA. There should be a line in you log, saying something like: "Creating SAAJ 1.1 MessageFactory". Don't try to use WebLogic 9 with SAAJ 1.3 (as you did by specifying a different message factory), I don't think that will work.

Next, the AXIOM problem: that looks like an AXIOM problem, and it could be due to outdated libraries in WebLogic. Consider using WoodStox, StAX API 1.0.1, and a recent javax.xml.namespace.QName. Besides these suggestions, I have no solution for you.

Hi Arjen,
You were right. I got it fixed with cleaner jars.

Thanks
Vignesh

I've tried to get past this error, but haven't had any luck. Here's the error.

I'm using weblogic 8.1 SP3 and this can not be changed. Thanks.
