As an update to this, I did manage to patch this and I explain how to do
it here if anyone else is interested.
If axis home is null, then it attempts to use the user's home
directory and I believe that is what was causing the "java.io.IOException:
Access is denied" exception.
To fix this this first problem, I forced it to use null for the repo location
by implementing a simple AxisConfigurator that extends FileSystemConfigurator:
public class MyClientAxisConfigurator extends FileSystemConfigurator
{
public MyClientAxisConfigurator()
{
//Use null for axis home
//Use false for isServer
super(null,false);
}
public AxisConfiguration getAxisConfiguration() throws AxisFault
{
//pass null for repo location
return new DeploymentEngine().loadClient(null);
}
}
Then it is just a matter of modifying the generated Client stub constructor
that takes an endpoint as an argument like so:
public WebServiceClientStub(String targetEndpoint) throws java.lang.Exception
{
//comment out this line
//this(
new ConfigurationContextFactory().createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(
AXIS2_HOME), targetEndpoint);
//add this line
this(new ConfigurationContextFactory().createConfigurationContext(
new MyClientAxisConfigurator()),targetEndpoint);
}
Finally, the "addressing" module is required, so I simply copied addressing.mar
from the axis binary distribution to my lib directory and renamed it to
addressing.jar and added to the class path of my eclipse project.
hope this is helpful to someone. I will update the JIRA issue as well.
