Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:29:09 +0000 Subject: Axis2.home / runtime environment issues From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi, Apologies if the question is too basic for this forum. I'm developing my first java web service using Eclipse/Axis2/Tomcat. I followed the excellent tutorial found at http://www.builderau.com.au/program/java/soa/Setting-up-a-simple-Web-service-using-Java/0,339024620,339284524,00.htm which worked fine and my development environment is still set up mimicking the tutorial example. My problem is that I am now trying to use external jars with my program on the client and web service side to process the message when it arrives at the web service. Basic web service / client communication is fine when using basic java strings etc. but when I start accessing the external .jar to help process the received strings etc I get axis2 errors along the line of org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: com/sdk/path/within/jarfile/Message at org.apache.axis2.util.Utils.getInboundFaultFromMessageContext(Utils.java:512) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.handleResponse(OutInAxisOperation.java:370) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.send(OutInAxisOperation.java:416) .... ... .. [ERROR] com/path/path/within/jarfile/Message java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) and I also get [ERROR] org/apache/axis/description/FieldDesc java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when accessing this jar. I'm guessing I somehow have to put this jar in my axis2_home/lib folder or something similar but I've no idea how to find axis2_home..i have seen it in the xmls but can't resolve the ${parameter} to output to the screen.. when i edit the xml it gets overwritten. There is no lib folder in the axis2-web folder in my workspace and I tried placing the jar file the WEB-INF/lib folder but to no avail....The jar is on my Java Eclipse build path and causes no Java compilation errors, works fine as a standard Java app etc. but Axis2 doesn't seem to want to know about it!!!!! Any help greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Tori _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®:…more than just e-mail. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t2_hm_justgotbetter_explore_012009
