Spring-ws -Problem request webservice from tomcat 6

Question

I have implement a certain spring-ws service and when I sent a soap message I receive in spring webapplication 1 (running on tomcat 6.0.32):

Request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:gen="http://www.foo.com/bar/webservice/generated">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <gen:GetAllPanelWSRequest/>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Response

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <ns2:GetAllPanelWSResponse xmlns:ns2="http://www.foo.com/bar/webservice/generated">
         <ns2:PanelWS ns2:Id="5">
            <ns2:name>all</ns2:name>
            <ns2:code>all</ns2:code>
         </ns2:PanelWS>
         <ns2:PanelWS ns2:Id="9">
            <ns2:name>test</ns2:name>
            <ns2:code>test1</ns2:code>
         </ns2:PanelWS>         
      </ns2:GetAllPanelWSResponse>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

So far no problem. From a webappliction 2 (not using spring MVC etc.) I made a function and when I run this function it works:

Main.java:

...
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<PanelWS> panelWSs = CallServices.getPanelWSs();
        for (PanelWS p : panelWSs) {
            System.out.println("\t" + makeString(p));
        }
    }
...

CallServices.java

public static List<PanelWS> getPanelWSs() {
        ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
        PanelClient client = (PanelClient) ctx.getBean("client");
        PanelWS panelWS = null;

        // Get all panelWS
        System.out.println("Get all panels...");
        List<PanelWS> panelWSs = client.getAllPanelWS();
        return panelWSs;
    }

Output:

Get all panels...
    [id=5, name=all, code=all]
    [id=9, name=test, code=test1]

So this works great and as expected. But when I want to call the function

    <%
        List<PanelWS> panelWSs = CallServices.getPanelWSs();
    %>

within a JSP (runnning on the same tomcat server) or a simple class I get the following error:

Server:

I'm using the following Java version pointing to myeclipse and tomcat (runs on):

hopefully this is enough information to solve the problem. I found some messages and bugs the pointing to the fact that I need to delete some Jars (xalan,xercesImpl and serializer) from the projects and add these jars to the jdk\lib\endorsed\ folder and add to tomcat the argument: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=. This works but I can't do this because the applications is running on several servers already.

Thx in advance

Alternative solution

Solved It for now while using the Apache CXF on the client. And spring-ws 1.5.9 on the server... apparently spring-ws sucks with jdk > 1.5

Answer 1

Maybe you should try considering updating to xerces-2.10.x, the problem can be that in jdk6 (rt.jar) there is a com.sun.org.apache.xerces package which seem to contain a jaxp 1.4 implementation, so does xerces 2.10+:

"It also contains an implementation of the parser related portions of JAXP 1.4"

quote from here.

Are you building the binary containing the jsp as a separate process or you are building everything together? If it's separated, you can try to remove xerces and xalan from the buildpath of that package only? - If you cannot, try upgrading maybe it'll help.

Still think it would be better to have a service calling your ws and you'd invoke that service from the jsp, that way you could test it separately, but perhaps you can't do that for some reason.

If both of these fail, can you post a) full stacktrace b) some of the errors which appear if you remove xerces and xalan alltogether?

Answer 2

Solved It for now using the Apache CXF 2.4.0 on the client. And spring-ws 1.5.9 on the server... apparently spring-ws sucks with jdk > 1.5
