Any issues using Apache's SOAP version 2 with Weblogic

Question

Hi,
The Weblogic sever is not one in the list of servers that have been tried
succesfully with Apache's SOAP. This is the list:
Apache Tomcat v3.1
IBM WebSphere v3.02
JRun vx.y.z
Microsoft Internet Information Server
Has anyone tried SOAP with Weblogic?
A recent thread mentions some problems (and solutions) with Weblogic and Xerces 1.1.2.
SOAP requires Xerces 1.1.3. Therefore, I would also like to know if there is any issue
using Weblogic with Xerces 1.1.3. I am using Weblogic 4.5 but I would try 5.1 if necessary
for this.
Thanks in advance,
Javier

In the apache soap binary download, there is a soap web application ( in the
form of an exploded war file ). Just copy and paste this directory in the
domain's "applications" directory. You will need to add a servlet-mapping
element in the web.xml file, which could be something like this
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>rpcrouter</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rpcrouter/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Do you have something similar for the BEA Weblogic 6.0?

I did the same thing except for servlet register. soap is webapp to WLS,so
I add:
weblogic.httpd.webApp.soap=D:/foo/soap-2_0/webapps/soap
to weblogic.properties. Because sopa20 has a web.xml file in
/foo/soap-2_0/webapp/soap/web-inf, I can only edit it to registerrpcrouter
and keep the default webapp as the same. Otherwise, how do you add thesoap
to you myserver/public_html? Unfortunately, it does not recognize the
URL
when I click the Visit link on soap admin page.
I edit my web.xml as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
rpcrouter
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>ServicesStore</param-name>
<param-value>DeployedServices.ds</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
</web-app>
Can you try this? How did you add your rpcrouter servlet to the defualt
webapp?
Thanks

After several painstaking hours I finally was able to get Apache Soap
v2.0
to work with weblogic. The version of weblogic I'm using is 4.51.
You
can
get Apaceh soap from http://www.apache.org/soap. This version of Soap
requires xerces v 1.2.1 which you can get from
http://www.apache.org/xerces-j. To make it work with weblogic you
have
to
first place the soap.jar file included with Apache soap and thexerces.jar
file in both the classpath AND WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH. Don't ask me why
but
I
wasn't able to get it to work without it in both. Next you have to
add
the
directory that your class files reside in to the classpath. Next you
have
to register the RCPRouter servlet in weblogic. The line to do thislooks
like this:
weblogic.httpd.register.rpcrouter=org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServl
et
where rpcrouter can be any name you want to use to call the routerservlet.
That's all I had to do to set it up to view the stock quote example
and
the
address book. The calculator is giving me a few other probems at the
moment. Don't forget to deploy the different services but the command
for
that is given in the readme file for each example. For the router URL
I
used http://localhost:7001/rpcrouter which is that servlet you
registered
above.
