MyEclipse: Web Service Error initializing XFireServlet on WebLogic

Post subject: Web Service Error initializing XFireServlet on WebLogic

Can you provide me with any insight as to how to proceed past a problem with deployment.

Environment:

ME Beta 2
Eclilpse 3.2
Weblogic 8.1 SP3

I followed the web service example in the help documentation exactly except for selecting J2EE 1.3 (because weblogic 8.1 doesn't support J2EE 1.4) and deployed to the weblogic server instead of to tomcat like done in the example.

I'm getting an error:

<BEA-101216> <Servlet: "XFireServlet" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "HelloWorld".
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error initializing XFireServlet.

Can you provide me with any tips on getting started?

Thank you.

I found the solution... Check out http://xfire.codehaus.org/XFire+on+Weblogic+8.1

It seems that weblogic.jar has an old avax.xml.namespace.QName and xfire needs a newer one. This url provides a link to a new one, and the changes needed to the weblogic.xml to cause the library file to override the jar file.

I hope this helps someone else

is it the same for weblogic 9.2?

Post subject: Same goes for WebSphere

I found that on both WAS 6 and WAS 5.X, the QName jar was required.

I have tried exactly what this solution states with no luck. Has anyone else ran into this and gotten the same problem? If there is another solution to this project please let me know.

Sometimes helps to put qname.jar at beginning of WLS classpath ( in startweblogic script ).
Not sure if its the best and most elegant solution, but works for me.

Yep. That works for me, but I'm worried - Does anyone know the consequences of replacing qname this way?

There should be no consequences, API should be backward compatible

Just completed a BEA support case. According to BEA putting qname.jar in the beginning of the WLS classpath is safe, and may be the only way to get XFire running (with Spring) on WL8.1 + java 1.4.x. They mentioned they were working on a patch as well.
