Fixed it by Using a Container and a Loader to configure a dynamic location for the wsit-client.xml. This way it is not automatically loaded. To do that, I first implemented a Container for the app as shown below
public class WsitClientConfigurationContainer extends Container {
private static final String CLIENT_CONFIG = "custom/location/wsit-client.xml";
private final ResourceLoader loader = new ResourceLoader() {
public URL getResource(String resource) {
return getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(CLIENT_CONFIG);
}
};
@Override
public <T> T getSPI(Class<T> spiType) {
if (spiType == ResourceLoader.class) {
return spiType.cast(loader);
}
return null;
}
}
Then to use it in the Code I do this
URL WSDL_LOCATION = this.getClass().getResource("/path/to/wsdl/mysvc.wsdl");
WSService.InitParams initParams = new WSService.InitParams();
initParams.setContainer(new WsitClientConfigurationContainer());
secGtwService = WSService.create(WSDL_LOCATION, SECGTWSERVICE_QNAME, initParams);
And it works like magic
