Hi,
My J2EE application is both an Axis client and an Axis Server. Since Axis.jar is quite large (~ 1MB), I would like to package it only once in my ear file. So, instead of putting it in my web-app, I am packaging it at the top level of my ear file where it is shared by the webapp and the ejb client. Here's the ear structure:
MyApp.ear
axis.jar
my-axis-ejb-client.jar
my-axis-web-app.war
This works fine for the most part, the client and the server are both functioning well. The only problem is where to place my WSDL (yes I need to use my own WSDL). I have setup my server-config.wsdd with the following wsdl specification:
<wsdlFile>/myservice.wsdl</wsdlFile>
Unfortunately, with the ear packaging shown above, the classloader is looking for myservice.wsdl inside axis.jar - at its top level! I have verified this by placing the wsdl inside axis.jar. Is there a way to force axis to look for the wsdl elsewhere, preferably somewhere in my war? Even at the top level of my ear would be fine.
I see that axis uses "this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename)" to get at the WSDL. Since axis.jar is at the ear root, the classloader wants to look inside this jar!
Thanks.
