---------------------------------
Summary: Dead links to WSS4J 1.6 classes in website
Key: CXF-5691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5691
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.6.14
Environment: Firefox on OS X 10.9.2
Reporter: Andrew Janke
Priority: Minor
Some of the links from the CXF documentation web pages to the Javadoc for WSS4J
classes are dead. I think this is because CXF is written against WSS4J 1.6, and
the current Apache WSS4J version is 2.0, which has moved some classes around to
different packages. I don't know if that's as far as the incompatibilities go.
Example:
In the WS-Security documentation page at
https://cxf.apache.org/docs/ws-security.html, it links to:
WSHandlerConstants ->
http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/apidocs/org/apache/ws/security/handler/WSHandlerConstants.html
WS -> http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/apidocs/org/apache/ws/security/WSConstants.html
Both those pages are 404.
In the new WSS4J 2.0 doco which is what's currently posted on the main Apache
WSS4J site, there are similar looking classes under different packages, at
org.apache.wss4j.dom.WSConstants and
org.apache.wss4j.dom.handler.WSHandlerConstants. I don't know enough about
WSS4J and CXF's usage of it to know whether the links can be updated to point
to the current WSS4J doco, or if they should point to version-specific 1.6.x
apidocs, or what.
Those are the dead WSS4J links I saw. I don't know if there are any others, or
if there are other 1.6-to-2.0 incompatibilities that might render linked info
on non-404 apidoc pages incorrect for CXF's usage.
