Folks,
One of my colleagues figured this out (thanks Oli!). So here's a quick summary of his approach for posterity: (a) via the WAS Console->Environment->Shared Libraries, create 3 new shared libraries: (i) saaj library containing the SAAJ API and impl jars (ii) wsdl4j library containing the wsdl4j jar (iii) a cxf library containing all the remaining CXF jars & 3rd party dependencies, except the following: geronimo-ejb_3.0_spec, geronimo-j2ee-connector_1.5_spec, geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec, jetty & jetty-util jars (b) via the Console->Servers->Application Servers-><server name>->Java and Process Management->Classloader, create a new classloader referencing the libraries (a)(i)&(ii) above, with "Classes loaded with application classloader first" choosen from the drop down box. (c) via Console->Applications->Enterprise Applications-><webapp name>->Shared library references, add the CXF library created in step (a)(iii) above.

Folks, I'm tripping over a SAAJ version incompatibility when deploying a CXF 2.0.6 servlet to WebSphere 6.1.0.7. CXF obviously requires SAAJ 1.3, and uses methods such as SOAPFactory.createFault() that didn't exist in SAAJ 1.2, which unfortunately is the version that WebSphere natively supports. So while things work on the happy path, once a fault rears its ugly head, I see a predictable NoSuchMethodError: javax/xml/soap/SOAPFactory.createFault()Ljavax/xml/soap/SOAPFault; at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsClientProxy.invoke(JaxWsClientProxy.java:186) ... Now I know similar issues have been raised in the past, and some ideas kicked around like just copying the SAAJ 1.3 API & impl jars into the WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre/lib/endorsed dir. But IIRC these simple approaches didn't yield any joy. So does anyone have a proven way to work around the SAAJ version incompatibility? Thanks, Eoghan
