Thats a bit disappointing, maybe i was a bit naive thinking it would be
straight forward. I need to have a serious think how i will progress. I
am not willing to stop using axis2, ive too much time invested now and
everything set up the way i need it for my own research. Unfortunately i
also have committments on a project that uses JBoss 4.0. How much of
WS-Security is implemented in the most recent stable release of JBoss?
How straightforward is it to implement security on existing (Web)
SessionBeans? I particularly like the modular approach of axis2 which
completely abstracts the security layer from the developer of the
endpoint and vice versa.
Any other help, pointers etc (maybe a url to a walk thru of deploying
axis2 on JBoss 4 ; ) ) greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian.

I haven't mixed JBoss and Axis2 together yet - but I know both
reasonably well independently. I've used JBoss and EJB with JWSDP alot.
Internally JBoss 4.0.x comes with Axis 1.x - though strangely their
docs and examples favor JWSDP. Furthermore, It tends to be more
natural to use a Statelful session bean with web services.
There are Handlers that are part of Java itself and can be used with
Axis 1 and JWSDP - javax.xml.rpc.handler.Handler is one I've used a
lot. However, axis2 does not currently support JAX-RPC. JBoss is
pretty wired into JAX-RPC.
So to make Web Services function with JBoss and EJB you'll need to
edit and create a lot of files, and using axis2 in jboss and ejb is a
bit bleeding edge. Don't get me wrong - it'd be a cool project and yes
I think it can be done. But if you don't know Jboss or axis2 well,
there are not going to be a lot of docs to help you. My personal
experience on the jboss lists have not been good - they strongly
encourage paid support.
Another option I would strongly consider is just use hibernate if you
have a choice - instead of EJB. It'll be a lot simpler config. Sounds
like your commited to EJB though.
If you still decide to use axis2 with jboss, look at the jboss guide
chapter 12. Look at their files:
webservices.xml
ejb-jar.xml
jboss.xml
Know what config-*.xml does

Hi All,
I am currently using Axis2 and WSS4J as a test environment for some
secure services. I want to now deploy these secure services on a JBoss
4.0 AS. My experience with JBoss is limited, this work has been
carried
out by another member of the group. We have an ejb application which
uses a stateless session bean to implement the web services interface.
At the moment this is all deployed using JBossWS. Has anybody deployed
Axis2 as a service within JBoss 4.0? Is it straightforward. There
is the
option of changing to JBoss WS, but I am using other Axis2
features like
handlers that I would rather not drop.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I could go about this
transition? Any documentation on the web where this has been tried?
Regards,
Brian.
