Axis2: WSS4J - problem getting client to use my axis2.xml

[Rob Henley]

I'm using the 0.95 binary release on Windows XP, plus the separately downloaded security sample.   Some stuff appeared to be missing from the distribution. I downloaded security-0.95.mar separately via the 'Modules' link and copied under my axis2\WEB-INF\modules, and also got a copy of xalan.jar.   My axis2.xml contains:   <module ref="security"/>   <parameter name="InflowSecurity">   <action>     <items>Timestamp</items>   </action> </parameter>   <parameter name="OutflowSecurity">   <action>     <items>Timestamp</items>   </action> </parameter>   My service is starting ok, but I don't think my client is picking up the security settings. My client code is attempting to pick up the same axis2.xml which my server uses ...     ConfigurationContext ctx = ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(X, Y); // see below   PurchasingStub stub = new PurchasingStub(ctx, "http://localhost:8081/axis2/services/Purchasing");  // stub generated from WSDL   I've tried various combinations for (X, Y) above. (I looked at the javadocs, but still couldn't be sure what this should look like exactly). Here's what I tried, followed by the various errors I received at runtime:   (null, null)        [java] org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: WSDoAllReceiver: Request does not contain required Security header      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.security.WSDoAllReceiver.invoke(WSDoAllReceiver.java:187)      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase.invoke(Phase.java:378)   ok - that probably isn't surprising. I'm not sure how the client would find the repository if I don't tell it where to look.   ("C:/Program Files/Apache/Tomcat5.5/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF", "axis2.xml"); ("C:\\Program Files\\Apache\\Tomcat5.5\\webapps\\axis2\\WEB-INF", "axis2.xml"); ("C:/progra~1/Apache/Tomcat5.5/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF", "axis2.xml");        [java] org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: axis2.xml (The system cannot find the file specified); nested exception is:      [java]     java.io.FileNotFoundException: axis2.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.load(DeploymentEngine.java:550)   I also tried prefxing axis2.xml with 'conf/', with the same result. (The javadoc suggests this wouldn't be valid anyway). ("C:/Program Files/Apache/Tomcat5.5/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF", null);      [java] java.lang.NullPointerException      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.context.ServiceGroupContext.getServiceContext(ServiceGroupContext.java:59)      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient.<init>(ServiceClient.java:97)      [java]     at org.apache.axis2.PurchasingStub.<init>(Unknown Source)      [java]     at samples.purchasing1.ClientTest.main(Unknown Source)   Has anyone seen a similar problem or have an idea how I can make progress?
