Eclipse Web Service Client wizard and CXF

Question

I'm trying to create a Web Service Client using the Eclipse Juno SR2 wizard. The service is correctly deployed and running on a Glassfish 3.1.2 server and I can see the WSDL file or create the client using Axis. The problem arises if I try to use CXF (tried CXF 2.6.8 and 2.7.5) to create the client in a Dynamic Web project created for a GLassfish 3.1.2:

Loading DataBinding jaxb ...

If I try to execute the wsdl2java as command line it works and .java files are created:

macpro:glassfish3 dude$ /usr/local/apache-cxf-2.6.8/bin/wsdl2java -client -d /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/.cxftmp/src -classdir /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/build/classes -p http://testservice.csiaf.unifi.it/=it.unifi.csiaf.testservice -impl -validate -exsh false -dns true -dex true -wsdlLocation http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl -verbose -defaultValues -fe jaxws -db jaxb -wv 1.1 http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl

wsdl2java - Apache CXF 2.6.8

I suppose there's some problem in the Eclipse+CXF combo, since the command line works, but I've no clue about how to solve it. Any idea ?

Answer 1

You need to make sure Woodstox 4.2.0 is being picked up. Alternatively, set the system property org.apache.cxf.stax.allowInsecureParser to true

Answer 2

Try removing these 2 jar files from the glassfish\modules directory:

• woodstox-core-asl.jar
• stax2-api.jar

I think it will prevent the 2 JAR files (woodstox and stax2) from the CXF project from being used after deployment.

Answer 3

Try excluding this if it exists as a dependency somewhere, and use Woodstox 4.2.0:

<artifactId>wstx-asl</artifactId>
<groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId>

Answer 4

I faced the same issue in JDeveloper and that got resolved by adding "woodstox-core-asl-4.2.1.jar" to the classpath.

Answer 5

i was facing the same issue but deploying it to web sphere, and after a research of few hours figured out the exact version for woodstox, i.e. below

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId>
    <artifactId>woodstox-core-asl</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>

This https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409070 link also helped to figured it out.

Both Java and .Net clients working fine.
