Deploying JAX-WS webservice as War in Apache Tomcat

Question

I have developed a webservice using JAXWS and able to run it from the eclipse on Tomcat 7 without any problem.

But my question is how to deploy it in Apache a war file. When ever I give Run On Server it ends up with exception SEVERE: WSSERVLET11: failed to parse runtime descriptor: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/glassfish/ha/store/api/BackingStoreException

And If I log into Apache and try to run from there, I can see this FAIL - Application at context path /IPWSv2 could not be started

This is my sun-jaxws.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime"
version="2.0">
    <endpoint name="IPWSServiceV1" implementation="com.ipws.insurpay.ipwsv1.IPWSServiceV1"
    url-pattern="/IPWSServiceV1" />
</endpoints>

And I have this mapping in my web.xml

 <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>IPWSServiceV1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/IPWSServiceV1</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

It works if I run it with the enpoint publisher,

public static void main(String[] args) {
     Endpoint.publish("http://host/Project-Name/IPWSServiceV1",
             new IPWSServiceV1());

}

Following is the stack trace:

I googled for this but not able to find how to deploy this.

Can any body please suggest me to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I solved it by copying the file ha-api.jar of JAX-WS dependencies and pasting it in $CATALINA_HOME\lib

Answer 2

1. Go http://jax-ws.java.net/.
2. Download JAX-WS RI distribution.

3. Unzip it and copy following JAX-WS dependencies to Tomcat library folder “{$TOMCAT}/lib“:

   jaxb-impl.jar, jaxws-api.jar, jaxws-rt.jar, gmbal-api-only.jar, management-api.jar, stax-ex.jar, streambuffer.jar, policy.jar.

Cheers!
