在JBoss 5.1中关闭JBoss WS模块

Question

I'am trying to deploy my CXF web application to JBoss 5.1 GA. All features work fine in Tomcat, but the internal JBoss-WS jars are causing some unexpected behavior (the same as written here ), therefore I want to turn the Jboss webservice subsystem down as it is written here. .

The problem is that placing jboss-deployment-structure.xml in the WEB-INF does not have any effect even after restarting the server, so I assume it is not supported in version 5.1. Removing jbossws.deployer from /deployers and jbossws.sar from /deploy (as written here ) is not a valid option because there are many applications which may be affected by it.

So my question is how to disable the internal JBoss WS module?

Many thanks,

Peter

Answer 1

See section "6.2.1 Configuration" of JAX-WS specification. Point 1 says:

1. If a resource with the name of META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider exists, then its first line, if present, is used as the UTF-8 encoded name of the implementation class.

There's JBOSS_HOME/common/lib/jbossws-native-jaxws.jar JAR which contains META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider file which contains:

org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl

So according to point 2 or 3 of aforementioned specification, you can:

• use ${java.home}/lib/jaxws.properties
• use system property with the name javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider

I've done this with JBoss 6 when tried to use newest CXF provider.
