Jetty embedded as SPI Provider for web service doesn't send webfault to client

Question

i'm working on a project where i have an embedded jetty server for serving html admin pages and i need to integrate some web services. I use jax-ws and javax xml annotations to build thoses services and use the jetty SPI implementation (jetty-jaxws2-spi) to replace default HttpServerProvider:

...
System.setProperty("com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider","org.eclipse.jetty.jaxws2spi.JettyHttpServerProvider");
HttpsServer httpsServer = HttpsServer.create(new InetSocketAddress(serverPort),0);
...
HttpContext httpContext = httpsServer.createContext("/ws/myservice");
Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.create(new AuthenticateImpl());
endpoint.publish(httpContext);
...

The web service work fine, but when i throw a webfault exception, the client only get HTTP 200 result code with no body content. I switch the httpserverprovider back to default implementation, and the fault is send correctly to the client.

I think something is missing in jetty-jaxws2-spi implementation, but don't know what.

any idea ?

• jetty-jaxws2-spi: https://svn.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty/tags/jetty-7.0.1.v20091125/jetty-jaxws2-spi/

update: it seems to be a compatibility problem between JAVA version and JAX libs.

with java7 and jaxb-api and jaxb-impl (2.1.12) in endorsed dir I get:

and lead to default http response (200)...

update 2

i get webfault working when i remove jaxb-impl and jaxb-api from my endorsed directory. but if i do that, i can't get Natural JSON notation from jersey, jaxb 2.1.12 required. damn ...

Answer 1

Resolved:

add JAX-WS RI 2.1.7 and JAXB 2.1.12 jars in my endorsed dir.
