Error deploying JAXWS webservice on Websphere server

Question

I am deploying JAX-WS webservice on websphere and when I am testing the same through soapUI, it is throwing below error. Please advice what can be the issue:

ClassCastException: com.ibm.xml.xlxp2.jaxb.JAXBContextImpl incompatible with com.sun.xml.bind.api.JAXBRIContext

Note: I have chanaged the classloader setting in websphere from parent first to parent last as well.

following are the jars in my war file.

jaxb-api-2.2.6.jar

jaxb-impl-2.2.5.jar

jaxb-xjc-2.1.9.jar

jaxws-api-2.1.jar

jaxws-maven-plugin-1.11.jar

jaxws-rt-2.1.5.jar

jaxws-tools-2.1.5.jar

Please advice what can be the issue? is it a common problem??

Answer 1

IBM WebSphere comes out with its own JAX-WS implementation. If you intend to use third-party JAX-WS provider, try to disable the default one, either by adding property DisableIBMJAXWSEngine: true into Manifest file, or by adding the following JVM property:

com.ibm.websphere.webservices.DisableIBMJAXWSEngine=true

I fixed it using the following in the code. I use WAS 8.5.5 with IBM JDK 1.6. Hope this help.

System.setProperty("javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext", "com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.ContextFactory");
