Problem deploying webserviceclient.jar on 6.1 sp1

Question

Hi, I am having trouble deploying a Web Service client on 6.1 sp1.
We are waiting for 7.1 sp1 to upgrade.
I'm using the JAX-RPC stuff from webserviceclient.jar from 7.0.0.1.
I deployed my code in a .war file that includes webserviceclient.jar, and
the .jar that clientgen generated.
When my code gets to the line marked below, it chokes hard (it doesn't even
seem to throw an exception).
// Setup the global JAX-RPC service factory
System.setProperty( "javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory",
"weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.ServiceFactoryImpl");
// Execute the Web Service
String reportName = "CustomerHasLicensed";
String[] arguments = new String[1];
try {
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"in try block");
AuthHeader authHeader = new
AuthHeader("sysname","4354lkjasdfasdf234");
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"created AuthHeader");
arguments[0] = "100";
// ***** THIS IS THE LINE WHERE IT CHOKES ****
SystemReports_Impl test = new SystemReports_Impl();
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"Created impl");
SystemReportsSoap soap = test.getSystemReportsSoap();
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"got soap");
Reports reports = soap.getReports(reportName, arguments,
authHeader);
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"fired webservice");
String head = reports.getHead();
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"got header");
String body = reports.getBody();
String foot = reports.getFoot();
logger_.logInfo(CLASSNAME,METHOD,"##### head:"+head+"
#####body:"+body+ " ####foot:"+foot);
catch (Exception e) {
logger_.logError(CLASSNAME,METHOD,e.toString());
throw new ProgramException(e);
The only thing that I can think of is that it can't find the wsdl or xml (it
is in the .jar) -- like a class loader problem or something.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks for the response.
Is there any workaround?
That is pretty lame since the documentation encourages redistributing
webservicesclient.jar.
You'd think that with that type of encouragement it would run on the last
version of WLS.

WLS 7.0 client can not run on 6.1 due to conflict in the
some util classes. Sorry about that.
I filed CR085341.

I also tried adding webservices.jar to the .war, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
Can you run this stuff on 6.1?
