Spring Web service in Weblogic 10.0

Question

Hi,
I have developed a spring webservice and it is running in tomcat 6.X but now I am trying to deploy that war file in weblogic 10.0 running on jdk5 and I end up with the error
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'payloadMapping' defined in ServletContext resource [WEB-INF/spring-ws-servlet.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'validatingInterceptor' while setting bean property 'interceptors' with key [0]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'validatingInterceptor' defined in ServletContext resource [WEB-INF/spring-ws-servlet.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'xsdSchema' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.xml.validation.XmlValidationException: Could not create Schema: SAX2 driver class weblogic.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser does not implement XMLReader; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser incompatible with org.xml.sax.XMLReader
So since some jars in weblogic is not supporting my application.
I added <wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>true</wls:prefer-web-inf-classes> in weblogic.xml and I have all the jars in web-inf/lib folder.
Still It was not working, and according to a suggestion in Spring forum I added this argument in domain environment
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djavax.xml.soap.MessageFactory=com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SOAPMessageFactory1_1Impl"
But still I get the same error.
please help me to over come this issue.
thanks

Answer 1

Hi
To my surprise, When i asked my Server team to get me weblogic support, I got a response from them stating that weblogic will not support spring framework 2.5 and they sent me the link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13196_01/platform/suppconfigs/configs100/100_over/overview.html#1131715
And asked me to downgrade my project to the supported version.
But I think it is not correct, I don't have information if really my local team contacted weblogic support, or they are just sending me this link based on the document they have.
But I don't understand why it is so hard to get this thing working. Is there many people facing this issue ?
Or every one using apache Axis2 or CFX for web service and spring webservice is not advised ?
Some time I don't know whom should be blamed.
Thanks
