Hi Martin or everyone able to help me.
after all I have found what causes me the problem, the stack dump as shown in a previous mail. Understanding is required to develop a solution. The problem is that rt.jar has a Webfault.calss under javax.xml.ws; (checked using $ jar tf rt.jar | grep Webfault) for both jdk1.6.0_30 and jdk1.7.0_03/jre/lib/rt.jar's Then I extracted the two classes, one after each other, and then I used $ javap -c Webfault to see a de-compilation without any side effects of high level tools such as NetBeans!!! The result was as such. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\jre\lib>javap -c WebFault Compiled from "WebFault.java" public interface javax.xml.ws.WebFault extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{ public abstract java.lang.String name(); public abstract java.lang.String targetNamespace(); public abstract java.lang.String faultBean(); } C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\jre\lib>javap -c WebFault Compiled from "WebFault.java" public interface javax.xml.ws.WebFault extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{ public abstract java.lang.String name(); public abstract java.lang.String targetNamespace(); public abstract java.lang.String faultBean(); public abstract java.lang.String messageName(); } As you can see the WebFault of jdk1.7 has one interface to an attribute more, and the relevant implementation WebFaultAnnot.class supports this by getters and setters is called through the use of the proper Interface class residing in rt.jar which is either jdk1.6 or jdk1.7 specific. Our OpenVMS runs on JDK1.6 and HP does not yet provide JDK1.7, we'r just about to have a meeting tomorrow with the responsible HP Enterprise Account Manager and some experts tomorrow about a clear Java for OpenVMS road map. and other issues. But until then . . . I think I need to endorse something. But what? Under C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\modules\ext\jaxws22\api I have found jaxws-api.jar which has a WebFault.class and extracting the WebFault.class and looking at it with javap -c WebFault shows me that this WebFault.class has 4 interfaces to Attributes while the previous NetBeans 7.1.1 comes with the same file but has a WebFault.class with only 3 interfaces to attributes. This has confused me before I realized that this classes may have some compile time effect only but at run time the class is taken from the active jre/lib/rt.jar. That is why I can compile great but run into problems when I want to deploy my web service solution into webapps of Catalina/Tomcat, but only if it runs under jdk1.6 Question: would it be sufficient to endorse the api jar file(s) found under C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\modules\ext\jaxws22\api to a jdk1.6/jre7lib/endorsed directory? The files are jaxws-api.jar jsr181-api.jar jsr250-api.jar saaj-api.jar because I think endorsing the full rt.jar from jdk1.7 to the jre of jdk1.6 does not work, is too much of an endorsement. I ask this also because I do not understand what you have suggested me by packaging the FileNotFoundWs.class in a jar and endorse only this one. I am really confused with that. Because this FileNotFoundWs.class is just a wrapper which through @WebFault(name, targetnamespace, faultbean, messagename) engages further interfaces and implementations residing at the proper rt.jar or in one of the small api jars such as jaxws-api.jar delivered with NetBeans 7.1.* Josef - very thanks full for your thoughts - and sorry if I miss a bit of understanding of java.

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 ???
