javax.xml.ws.Service.create fails with WebServiceException "Unknown feature error"

[Przemyslaw Bielicki]

Hi,

can anyone explain me why only acceptable features are the ones from "
javax.xml.ws" packages?

org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl contains:

public ServiceDelegate createServiceDelegate(URL wsdlDocumentLocation,
                                             QName serviceName,
                                             @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
Class serviceClass,
                                             WebServiceFeature ...
features) {
  for (WebServiceFeature f : features) {
    if (!f.getClass().getName().startsWith("javax.xml.ws")) {
      throw new WebServiceException("Unknown feature error: " +
f.getClass().getName());
    }
 }

My client code:

javax.xml.ws.Service.create(wsdlURL, new QName(serviceNs, serviceName),
myCustomFeature)

fails miserably and I don't know what is the reason for this. (Of course,
myCustomFeature is not in javax.xml.ws.* package).

Many thanks for help,
Przemyslaw
