Great work Jeff. I'm very excited about being more lightweight.

+1 on CXF

Well, I was able to successfully create an Apache CXF deployment project to get the web services up and running (see juddi-cxf). You can test it out by deploying the war and hitting the url:

http://<domain>/juddi/services <http://%3cdomain%3e/juddi/services>

CXF is nice and lightweight and other than a minor namespace issue, it went pretty smoothly. We should seriously consider using it as our default deployment.

On another note, while researching CXF, I found out a way prevent JAX-WS from splitting out the WSDL into two files. This is what was causing the problem with the Axis2 deployment. So, now it looks like the Axis2 deployment works ( I tested it out briefly). It still needs some smoothing around the edges, but with a little work, we can get that up to speed as well.

Let's make a decision on the default deployment though. I am (+1) for CXF.

Kurt, good call.  Using the older version (1.3) worked.

Of course, then another issue popped up. This issue is specific to JAX-WS. The 'setPublisherAssertions' and 'getPublisherAssertions' methods of the API both return a list of publisherAssertions. When JAX-WS generates the SEI, it creates a ResponseWrapper annotation for both of these with the same localName and same className. That causes this error:

com.sun.tools.internal.ws.processor.modeler.ModelerException: [failed to localize] Response wrapper bean names must be unique and must not clash with other generated classes.

There are three solutions I see to this problem:

1) Modify the UDDI mega-WSDL that we retrieved from the UDDI site which is used to generate all the classes. Classes will be need to be re-generated.

2) Don't modify the UDDI WSDL, but instead make changes after the classes are generated.

3) JAX-WS allows for customizations via binding files. These might be used to fix the issue.

Of these three, I'm leaning towards 1) . It's the easiest and cleanest approach. Approach 2) defeats the purpose of generating classes and 3) has a steep learning curve.

Oh yea, we're not out of the woods yet. There is another issue with Axis2. See AXIS2-4160 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4160). That might be easily fixable or it might not. If it does turn out to be a bug that requires us to wait for the next release, well, we might want to consider switching to Apache CXF as the default WS-Stack.

Comments?

Can we use an older version of this jar? Before they broke it?

The jar file is not the problem.  WSCOMMONS-377 is.  We'll be hit by that
bug no matter how the classes are deployed.

If we uncompress the juddi-core service classes into WEB-INF/classes, will that work? Jeff Faath wrote:
    All,

I was able to get further along in the investigation of getting the JAX-WS web services to work with Tomcat and Axis2. Turns out it wasn't working before because Axis2 couldn't properly deploy the services when classes were compiled into a jar. I think there is a way to configure Axis2 to deploy within a jar, but unfortunately there is a
    bigger issue.

When trying to bring up the WSDL, I get a namespace conflict issue. Upon further investigation, it turns out we are getting hit by a flavor of WSCOMMONS-377. And this issue doesn't look like it's going
    to get fixed anytime soon.

    So, I'm not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?
