Problem with running CXF on Weblogic 10.3.5 /w SOA server

Question

I deployed a CXF Web Service war file on a Weblogic 10.3.5 with OracleSOA server, and I got following exceptions. I tested the war file on another Weblogic without OracleSOA without server and work fine.

I have added following lines to weblogic.xml, but can't fix the problem:

<wls:container-descriptor>
    <wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>true</wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>
</wls:container-descriptor>

How to fix this problem, because the war file suppose deploy on the SOA Weblogic server?

Answer 1

Package the juddiv3 plus cxf war as an ear

Add the following deployment descriptors to the ear file "META-INF/application.xml" :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="5"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd">
  <display-name>juddiv3</display-name>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>juddiv3</web-uri>
      <context-root>juddiv3</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>
</application>

file "META.INF/weblogic-application.xml" :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wls:weblogic-application xmlns:wls="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/javaee_5.xsd http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application/1.0/weblogic-application.xsd">
  <wls:application-param>
    <wls:param-name>webapp.encoding.default</wls:param-name>
    <wls:param-value>UTF-8</wls:param-value>
  </wls:application-param>
  <wls:prefer-application-packages>
    <wls:package-name>javax.wsdl.*</wls:package-name>
    <!-- If using hibernate also add this 
    <wls:package-name>antlr.*</wls:package-name>
    -->
  </wls:prefer-application-packages>
</wls:weblogic-application>

Answer 2

A similar issue reported with CXF and Weblogic 10.3.3 says the error is because Oracle loads it's own wsdl4j and instead use one from within your war. Is wsdl4j jar present in the WEB-INF/lib of your war?

Only then will wls:prefer-web-inf-classes be effective.

Otherwise CXF recommends packaging your war as an ear on Weblogic, add a weblogic-application.xml (Weblogic specific) in the META-INF folder and using

<prefer-application-packages>

Can you try the first approach and then the second?
