Hi Team,
Domino Java agent fails with Axiom meta factory error: “No meta factory found
for feature 'default'”, indicating axiom-impl.jar not found in classpath or
META-INF/axiom.xml not readable.
We are running a Java agent (Notes/Domino web service agent using Axis2/Axiom)
on:
* Domino version: Domino 14 FP5
* Domino Java: Java 17 (Domino Java 17)
* Classpath base: C:\Domino\ndext
* Axiom jar present/version: axiom-impl-1.2.21 (in Dev/Pre-Prod)
The agent fails at runtime with the following error:
No meta factory found for feature 'default'; this usually means that
axiom-impl.jar is not in the classpath or that the META-INF/axiom.xml resource
can't be read
at WebServiceClient.buildRequest(Unknown Source)
at JavaAgent.NotesMain(Unknown Source)
at lotus.domino.AgentBase.runNotes(Unknown Source)
at lotus.domino.NotesThread.run(Unknown Source)
Troubleshooting Done
* Verified axiom-impl-1.2.21.jar exists under C:\Domino\ndext.
* Confirmed agent fails consistently.
* Suspect classpath/classloader issue or jar conflict under Domino Java
agent runtime.
Note :- This agent worked perfectly till 11th December 2025.No changes made to
code , but Windows server was patched and rebooted on December 11, 2025
(KB5071544) .
Could you please help us in resolving this issue.
