WSDL parsing exception creating Webservice client with CXF JaxWSClientFactoryBean - java

I've written some code to create and run webservice client using CXF. I used JaxWsClientFactoryBean (not sure it's the best solution) to create client from .wsdl file.
The goal here was to do this programmatically avoiding Spring etc. Just pure code with Java and CXF.
JaxWsClientFactoryBean cfb = new JaxWsClientFactoryBean();
cfb.setAddress(getServiceProperty(intClass, PROPERTY_KEY_URL_SUFFIX));
cfb.setServiceClass(intClass);
cfb.setOutInterceptors(getOutInterceptors(intClass));
cfb.setServiceName(SERVICE_NAME);
cfb.setWsdlURL("classpath:wsdl/" + intClass.getSimpleName() + ".wsdl");
cfb.setEndpointName(ENDPOINT_NAME);
Client client = cfb.create();
ClientProxy cp = new ClientProxy(client);
I intService = (I)
Proxy.newProxyInstance(intClass.getClassLoader(), new Class[] { intClass }, cp);
I'm really not sure if this is done correctly, but it works when I run this code locally and when I deploy it on Tomcat.
Unfortunatelly I need to run this code on Weblogic and this results in strange exception:

This happens during application deployment. It looks like there is something wrong with .wsdl file, but wait... It was working on Tomcat!
I think that there could be some difference in com.sun.org.apache.xerces.* classes implementation within Weblogic with its JRockit VM and standard JVM, but I have no idea how to solve it.
I spent many hours trying differend ways of client creation. Most of them worked locally and in Tomcat, but none on WebLogic.
Any hints what to try next? I'm kinda tired of this topic :D

I agree with your suspicion that the problem is related to the used version of Xerces. The stacktrace shows that the Sun implementation of Xerces which is derivative of the Apache Xerces is used in your case.
Please check the Apache CFX Application Server Configuration Guide instructions related to WebLogic.
WebLogic ClassLoading
In WebLogic Server, any .jar file present in the system classpath is loaded by the WebLogic Server system classloader. All applications running within a server instance are loaded in application classloaders which are children of the system classloader. In this implementation of the system classloader, applications cannot use different versions of third-party jars which are already present in the system classloader. Every child classloader asks the parent (the system classloader) for a particular class and cannot load classes which are seen by the parent.
For example, if a class called com.foo.Baz exists in both $CLASSPATH as well as the application EAR, then the class from the $CLASSPATH is loaded and not the one from the EAR. Since weblogic.jar is in the $CLASSPATH, applications can not override any WebLogic Server classes.
In order to use an alternate version of Xerces you have to create a FilteringClassLoader.
Usage of FilteringClassLoader
The FilteringClassLoader provides a mechanism for you to configure deployment descriptors to explicitly specify that certain packages should always be loaded from the application, rather than being loaded by the system classloader. This allows you to use alternate versions of applications such as Xerces and Ant.
The FilteringClassLoader sits between the application classloader and the system. It is a child of the system classloader and the parent of the application classloader. The FilteringClassLoader intercepts the loadClass(String className) method and compares the className with a list of packages specified in weblogic-application.xml file.
In conclusion, check the steps included in the Apache CFX Application Server Configuration Guide and take care to explicitly specify that the org.apache.xerces.* package is loaded from the application, rather than being loaded from the system classloader.
For example the weblogic-application.xml file in the META-INF should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90">
<application-param>
<param-name>webapp.encoding.default</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</application-param>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>javax.jws.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.xerces.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>
I hope this helps.

JDBC driver not found (servlet, DAO, mariaDB) [duplicate]

I developer a web application using Java. When I deploy it to my application server (Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, GlassFish, etc.) throws an error. I can see this error message in the stacktrace:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Or
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
What does this mean and how can I fix it?
What does this mean?
First, let's see the meaning of java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using:
The forName method in class Class.
The findSystemClass method in class ClassLoader.
The loadClass method in class ClassLoader.
but no definition for the class with the specified name could be found.
Usually, this happens when trying to open a connection manually in this form:
String jdbcDriver = "...'; //name of your driver
Class.forName(jdbcDriver);
Or when you refer to a class that belongs to an external library and strangely this class cannot be loaded when the application server tries to deploy the application.
Let's see the meaning of java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError (emphasis mine):
Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.
The searched-for class definition existed when the currently executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be found.
The last part says it all: the class existed at compile time i.e. when I compiled the application through my IDE, but it is not available at runtime i.e. when the application is deployed.
how can I fix it?
In Java web applications, all third party libraries used by your application must go in WEB-INF/lib folder. Make sure that all the necessary libraries (jars) are placed there. You can check this easily:
- <webapp folder>
- WEB-INF
- lib
+ jar1
+ jar2
+ ...
- META-INF
- <rest of your folders>
This problem usually arises for JDBC connectivity jars (MySQL, Derby, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.) or web MVC frameworks libraries like JSF or Spring MVC.
Take into account that some third party libraries rely on other third party libraries, so you have to add all of them in WEB-INF/lib in order to make the application work. A good example of this is RichFaces 4 libraries, where you have to download and add the external libraries manually.
Note for Maven users: you should not experience these problems unless you have set the libraries as provided, test or system. If set to provided, you're responsible to add the libraries somewhere in the classpath. You can find more info about the dependency scopes here: Introduction to the Dependency Mechanism
In case the library must be shared among several applications that will be deployed on your application server e.g. MySQL connector for two applications, there's another alternative. Instead of deploying two war files each with their own MySQL connector library, place this library in the common library folder of the server application, this will enable the library to be in the classpath of all the deployed applications.
This folder vary from application server.
Tomcat 7/8: <tomcat_home>/lib
JBoss 7/Wildfly: <jboss_home>/standalone/lib
The class must exist under WEB-INF/classes or be inside a .jar file under WEB-INF/lib. Make sure it does.
Same problem happen with me.
Might be possible one of your libraries are using some classes internal which is not available
in your lib or maven dependency pom.xml.
Thats means you have analyze your error logs and identify these classes and then import all dependencies in maven or lib folder.
I have fixed this error by the same way.
because some of my libraries are using activation.jar and json.jar internally.

Websphere: Shared libraries in common classloader earlier on classpath than application modules, even with parent last policy

Background:
I have the following problem: I have several WAR files I need to have deployed on same Websphere server. The WAR files use libraries that depend on having a specific version of XMLSec regisered as the XML Signature Provider (with the Java Security class). Currently I bundle this library with each WAR file (since the WAR files also need to work standalone and on Tomcat's without any special shared library configuration etc.). Each WAR files registers the provider with Security.addProvider() in a ServerContextListener. But this causes problems in the multi-WAR setup, because if one WAR file does the registration with Security.addProvider) and another WAR files tries to fetch it using the XMLSignatureFactory class (which is actually a javax.* class contained inside the XMLSec JAR itself, but which ultimately calls back to the global provider list configured with Security.addProvider), then it causes a ClassCastException inside XMLSignatureFactory, because this class does a cast of what it gets from Security into to its own version of the provider classes, which doesn't work. The exact stack trace is as follows:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.DOMXMLSignatureFactory
incompatible with javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory at
javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory.findInstance(XMLSignatureFactory.java:202)
at
javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance(XMLSignatureFactory.java:292)
By the way this is not a case of conflict with different versions of XMLSec being in play or conflicts with Websphere's own version. There is only one version albeit it is loaded from different WAR's.
Of course the solution is to have the xmlsec library loaded with a common classloader so that there is only one version of the classes loaded that all WAR files see, which would avoid ClassCastExceptions etc.. But here is the rub: I also need to have each application loaded with the "parent last" policy - or rather, I need the JAR files inside each application to take precedence over Websphere's built-in version of the libraries (for instance Axis2 that I also include in the WAR filesetc.). Furter, I would prefer that I can keep the xmlsec library in each WAR files' WEB-INF/lib folder, so that the WAR files can still work stand-alone (i.e. in other environments which might not have the shared library configured etc.).
So basically I want to have a common class loader loading the XMLSec library, say, somewhere from disk. Let's denote that [SHARED XMLSEC]. Then I want each application classpath to ultimately appear like this:
App1: [SHARED XMLSEC][App1 WEB-inf/lib][Websphere libraries][JDK libraries]
App2: [SHARED XMLSEC][App2 WEB-inf/lib][Websphere libraries][JDK libraries]
etc.
In such a configuration it doesn't matter if App1+App2 themselves contain the XMLSec library since the shared one will take precedence so they will use the common one. At the same time, App1+App2 are still free to override other built-in Websphere libraries (Axis2).
Is it possible to realize this configuration and what options do I need to set? Do you see alternative ways to achieve the same objective?
Since you have a conflict between classes here, I would suggest going for isolated class loaders for each application. On the server side, setting the class loader policy to 'Multiple' should provide isolation between applications.
Once you have this set, configure class loading at the application level to the 'Parent last' configuration for both the applications.
The following Knowledge Center link has the relevant instructions [Steps 2,3 & 4 under the 'Procedure' section] :
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/trun_classload.html

Classloader issues when looking up ejb jndi names tomcat 6

I am in the process of migrating a legacy application from weblogic to Tomcat 6.
The application needs to access ejbs; to achieve that, I added wlclient.jar to the classpath.
When the methods in the legacy jars responsible for communicating with the ejbs are called, I get the following exception :
javax.naming.NamingException: Unhandled exception in lookup
[Root exception is org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL: vmcid: SUN minor code: 211 completed: Maybe]
which cause is :
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: interface com.xxx.xxx.InterfaceName is not visible from class loader
at java.lang.reflect.Proxy.getProxyClass(Proxy.java:353)
at java.lang.reflect.Proxy.newProxyInstance(Proxy.java:581)
at weblogic.iiop.ProxyDesc.readResolve(ProxyDesc.java:45)
That Interface seems to be used to define the method called from the client to return some informations from the server where the ejbs are deployed.
When running with verbose:class, I find that the Interface is actually loaded from the local jar. The corresponding interface on the server is loaded too :
[Loaded com.xx.xx.InterfaceName_t3s99q_InterfaceNameIntf from http://192.168.x.xx:port/path/classes/]
Even though I do not have any idea how that works internally, I assumed the lookup had gone well since it finds the correct class on the server.
When putting breakpoints in Proxy.getProxyClass, I found the used classloader when the exception occurs was a Launcher$AppClassLoader; the URL's it used to lookup were those in my local classpath (a.k.a. src/main/java and such) and not the webapp's path (a.k.a. WEB-INF/lib and such).
So my question is : is it possible that the wrong ClassLoader gets used for that specific lookup (local one instead of Tomcat's webapp level one)?
Can I specify a specific ClassLoader?
Am I looking in the completely wrong direction to resolve that issue ?
Well I lost 1.5 days on this, so I'll post an answer hoping it will eventually be useful to someone.
The problem was that I included wlclient.jar in eclipse classpath, and since the oracle implementation uses super.getClass().getClassLoader() , it would return the ClassLoader used to load the Class in which the call is made a.k.a. the local ClassLoader and not the one from the Webapp, so it did not have visiblity of the webapp dependencies.
I updated my project to include the jar in WEB-INF/lib so it would be loaded by the webapp and thus super.getClass().getClassLoader() would return the right ClassLoader.
An other possibility would have been to modify that line to use Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader instead.

What triggers this is attempting to make a call to a web service operation named WebServiceOperationName. I've seen other tips for dealing with this error which usually involve adding a #XmlSeeAlso annotation or making adjustments to how marshalling and unmarshalling are done.
In this case, I am calling a webservice whose code is generated by Maven based on a WSDL (and supporting schemas). I don't have direct control over the code produced by Maven, and I don't have control over the marshall/unmarshall calls. Other webservice calls in the application don't seem to be having any problem.
Even stranger, I can't reproduce this on my local server, though it happens on the development server. The generated JAR for the webservice is the same, as it the rest of the application's code.
This exception has appeared suddenly this week (and consistently), and I suspect that something has changed, environmentally, but I'm not sure what. Any ideas?
A new observation:
The first time I attempt to run this code on the server after it's been started/restarted, it takes a while (About a minute) before it fails and throws an exception. Every time after that, the exception is almost instantaneous...
Further information:
This problem is present in WebSphere 7.0.0.23 (which is on the server), but not in WebSphere 7.0.0.7 (on the workstation).
The issue's been resolved. I was inspecting the jar that contained the class WAS was complaining about and noticed that some of the classes were duplicated at different levels of package hierarchy. It's worth pointing out that the class that was reported in the original error was not actually one of these duplicated classes. Also, the application did not reference different variants of the same class - the classes referenced were in the expected package. The extra duplicates one level up were not referenced anywhere (as far as I can tell).
It looked like a bad Maven configuration, but when I inspected the xjb binding files, I couldn't figure out how the types in that schema namespace got bound to two different packages. Either way, I cleanded up some of the binding files used by Maven, refactored common bindings into one file, had Maven rebuild the jar, and then tested, and suddenly the issue was gone!
Clearly there was a problem in WAS 7.0.0.23 since the original jar worked fine on WAS 7.0.0.7. It may have been caused by a problem with the Maven bindings which resulted in a strange-looking but technically valid jar.
Also interesting: one of our developers upgraded WAS to 7.0.0.25 and used the original "bad" jar and got a "no such operation" error instead of the JAXBException.
I have the same problem in Guidewire ClaimCenter, which is an insurance application that can be configured but the core can't be modified at all, It's Java based it has component included like axis2 but I created a seperate java project that wraps a webservice call, I created all the stub code with wsimport. It works well under my deve enviroment which is windows and jetty because is the Guidewire platform to configure it (no other option). we use WAS 7 as production server.

I tried to generate and compile the client in the server side just in case it was something related with different JDK platform, but that didn't solve the problem.
I found the next article was 6!
but for WAS 6 , I haven't tried though.
When the JAX-WS web service engine receives a message, it uses
the JAXB engine to convert the message into java beans.
The message indicates a failure occurred while converting xml
into an object of type
com.somecom.lib.business.xml.ComIdentifierXml. The failure
indicates that the JAXB engine was not initialized with
information about this user class.
.
In this use case, the class
com.somecom.lib.business.xml.ComIdentifierXml is packaged in a
JAR at the EAR level. The exception does not happen if the
class is packaged in a JAR located in the WAR module's
WEB-INF/lib directory.
SOLUTION:
Target Environment:
IBM server
IBM JDK 1.6
IBM Webpshere 7.0.0.25
The client to call the webservice is using pure JAVA no dependency on external library JAX-WS RI 2.1.6
In webspehre
1- Set for the application the class loading to parent last
2- Turn off webservice annotations with this: Set the com.ibm.websphere.webservices.DisableIBMJAXWSEngine property to true. this will disabled Websphere own implementation based on a modified Axis2
3- Deploy your application with third-party JAX-WS runtime
in my case i used Glassfish Metro 1.5 which includes JAX-WS RI 2.1.7 and is the same as my local environment with JDK 1.6.0_37
That's it
Cheers

CXF on WebSphere 6.1 Class Loading Problem

I have a project with the following configuration:
WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.19
wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar at the $WAS_ROOT/java/jre/lib/ext directory, (to overwrite wsdl4j-1.6.1 included in WAS 6.1).
cxf-2.4.0.jar (and others dependencies) at the $WAS_ROOT/lib/ext directory.
An EAR 'X' with a Web Module 'Y'.
The Web Module 'Y' has a JAR Module 'Z' (at the WEB-INF/lib directory).
'Z' has a set of classes that implement a SOAP Web Service generated using CXF's wsdl2java.
'Y' has a business class (at the WEB-INF/classes directory) that calls the SOAP Web Service Client at 'Z'.
This configuration works well at my development enviroment (Rational Application Developer with a WebSphere AS 6.1 runtime). But at the QA enviroment, I had the following exception, (please pay attention at bolds in the stack trace):

Seems like the CompoundClassLoader (which works at application level) is trying to load a CXF's class which exists at the server runtime level.
I hope somebody help me with this issue. I'll be very very grateful.
Placing Jars in the WAS_HOME/lib/ext should be your last resort.
Always try the PARENT_LAST classloader mode and have your classes/jars picked up first.
This would avoid a number of problems for you.
The App Server start up would use this directory extensively and if there are clashes it might not even start up.
THe best way to troubleshoot is to turn on classloading and look at the native_stdout/stderr file and see who is loading the class(es) that is in question.
Bkail,
Did you mean to say things differently? This path is high up the class loader chain so it would be checked earlier (with the default PARENT_FIRST) class loading policy.
This would be in the second rung (after the BOOT CLassloader of the JDK) and it's extensions.
