robert lazarski commented on AXIS2-5909:
----------------------------------------
[~veithen] any thoughts on the happyaxis.jsp tweak as described? I could just
commit the change but I wanted to give an opportunity to discuss first. Plus
Jira is helpful for communication.
For example, perhaps the default should be httpclient4 with null args to the
method createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem() .
Also I would like to discuss the larger issue of removing httpclient3 support
from axis2, would the dev list be a better place?
Thanks,
Robert

> Key: AXIS2-5909
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5909
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7
> Reporter: robert lazarski
> Priority: Major
>
> Axis2 1.7.x introduced the ability to use the httpclient4 libs instead of the
> unsupported httpclient3 libs via changes to WEB-INF/conf/axis2.xml , however
> those changes are not picked up in the following code in happyaxis.jsp:
>
> ConfigurationContext configctx =
>
> ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromF
> ileSystem(null, null);
>
> If there are no httpclient3 libs in the WAR because they were purposely
> removed and httpclient4 was configured as a replacement, the happyaxis.jsp
> validate link will still attempt to load those httpclient3 classes. The
> result is:
> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/httpclient
> /HttpConnectionManager
> The distributed axis2.war/WEB-INF/web.xml shows commented out args on
> AxisServlet for the axis repo, but those didn't appear to help the
> happyaxis.jsp loading of the validate link with httpclient4 configured.
> This code tweak in happyaxis.jsp does seem to work. Any reason this code
> would not be a good idea by default? And imho the axis2 team should also
> consider removing httpclient3 support entirely for security reasons.
