Hi Martin
I have found the reason for my problem; The class WebFaultAnnot is the implementation-class of the interface WebFault.class; The class WebFaultAnnot from axis2 implements 4 setters and getters to 4 fields. AND it is therefore required that the interface WebFault.class match this implementation class. This is for JDK6.0 not the case. But This is the case for JDK7.0 The interface-class Webfault, delivered with the package package javax.xml.ws from Sun delivers operations to access only 3 of the 4 fields with JDK 6.0. but with JDK7.0 the Webfault.class delivers operations to access all 4 fields. That is the reason why the statement in Axis2-1.6.1 webFaultAnnot.setMessageName(webFault.messageName()); causes an Exception as shown below, because webFault.messageName() does not exists in the WebFault interface class delivered with JDK 6.0. Now, which jar file do I have to endorse from JDK 7.0 over JDK 6.0? Which jar file do I have to bring into ./jre/lib/endorsed? For JAVA, and for Tomcats VM. My answer: It is the jar file which keeps the Interface WebFault.class. Now - I have only to find the proper name of the jar file to take this hurdle.

I understand that this class needs enhancements over time. What I do not understand is that org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter has a method private void attachWebFaultAnnotation(DescriptionBuilderComposite composite) { WebFault webFault = (WebFault)ConverterUtils.getAnnotation( WebFault.class, serviceClass); if (webFault != null) { WebFaultAnnot webFaultAnnot = WebFaultAnnot.createWebFaultAnnotImpl(); webFaultAnnot.setFaultBean(webFault.faultBean()); webFaultAnnot.setName(webFault.name()); webFaultAnnot.setTargetNamespace(webFault.targetNamespace()); webFaultAnnot.setMessageName(webFault.messageName()); composite.setWebFaultAnnot(webFaultAnnot); } which is a show stoper for an JDK 6.0 dependent environment, because the line in red works only within a JDK 7.0 environment. I have developed "FileNotFoundExceptionWs", a Wrapper class using the @Webfault annotation with 3 arguments, and all builds fine. But depoyment of this service does not work because I run (un-endorsed) on a JDK 6.0 platform. where the following error is thrown by Axis2-1.6.1 code as seen above.: [INFO] Deploying JAXWS annotated class ch.axa.spezpla.fs1.MtomFile12PortImpl as a service - MtomFileService12 [INFO] Exception creating Axis Service : null java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.xml.ws.WebFault.messageName()Ljava/lang/String; at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter.attachWebFaultAnnotation(JavaClassToDBCConverter.java:384) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter.setTypeTargettedAnnotations(JavaClassToDBCConverter.java:247) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter.introspectClass(JavaClassToDBCConverter.java:159) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter.buildDBC(JavaClassToDBCConverter.java:141) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter.produceDBC(JavaClassToDBCConverter.java:97) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.impl.DescriptionFactoryImpl.createServiceDescription(DescriptionFactoryImpl.java:215) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.DescriptionFactory.createAxisService(DescriptionFactory.java:564) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.framework.JAXWSDeployer.createAxisService(JAXWSDeployer.java:257) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.framework.JAXWSDeployer.deployClasses(JAXWSDeployer.java:208) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.framework.JAXWSDeployer.deployServicesInWARClassPath(JAXWSDeployer.java:106) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.framework.JAXWSDeployer.init(JAXWSDeployer.java:78) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.initializeDeployers(DeploymentEngine.java:1166) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.setConfigContext(DeploymentEngine.java:1155) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.WarBasedAxisConfigurator.setConfigContext(WarBasedAxisConfigurator.java:349) at org.apache.axis2.context.ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContext(ConfigurationContextFactory.java:89) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet.initConfigContext(AxisServlet.java:584) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet.init(AxisServlet.java:454) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:993) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4187) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4496) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:791) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:546) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR(HostConfig.java:905) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWARs(HostConfig.java:740) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:500) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.check(HostConfig.java:1345) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:303) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:119) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.backgroundProcess(ContainerBase.java:1337) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$ContainerBackgroundProcessor.processChildren(ContainerBase.java:1601) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$ContainerBackgroundProcessor.processChildren(ContainerBase.java:1610) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$ContainerBackgroundProcessor.run(ContainerBase.java:1590) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) google for the red line and wonder how many runs into a similar problem. endorsing helps but shifts the problem arround, and there is no guarantee that endorsing missing jar files adds to the robsutness of the environment! is there a chance to have Tomcat using the same automatic endorsment facility as maven has when it builds and test and runs error free org.apache.axis2.jaxws.description.builder.converter.JavaClassToDBCConverter ???
