Eclipse Web Service Client wizard and CXF

Question

I'm trying to create a Web Service Client using the Eclipse Juno SR2 wizard. The service is correctly deployed and running on a Glassfish 3.1.2 server and I can see the WSDL file or create the client using Axis. The problem arises if I try to use CXF (tried CXF 2.6.8 and 2.7.5) to create the client in a Dynamic Web project created for a GLassfish 3.1.2:

Loading FrontEnd jaxws ...
Loading DataBinding jaxb ...
wsdl2java -client -d /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/.cxftmp/src -classdir /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/build/classes -p http://testservice.csiaf.unifi.it/=it.unifi.csiaf.testservice -impl -validate -exsh false -dns true -dex true -wsdlLocation http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl -verbose -defaultValues -fe jaxws -db jaxb -wv 1.1 http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl
wsdl2java - Apache CXF 2.6.8

If I try to execute the wsdl2java as command line it works and .java files are created:

macpro:glassfish3 dude$ /usr/local/apache-cxf-2.6.8/bin/wsdl2java -client -d /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/.cxftmp/src -classdir /Users/dude/Documents/SOA/workspace/gf/build/classes -p http://testservice.csiaf.unifi.it/=it.unifi.csiaf.testservice -impl -validate -exsh false -dns true -dex true -wsdlLocation http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl -verbose -defaultValues -fe jaxws -db jaxb -wv 1.1 http://localhost:8888/TestServiceGlassfish/TeamsService?wsdl

wsdl2java - Apache CXF 2.6.8

I suppose there's some problem in the Eclipse+CXF combo, since the command line works, but I've no clue about how to solve it. Any idea ?

You need to make sure Woodstox 4.2.0 is being picked up. Alternatively, set the system property org.apache.cxf.stax.allowInsecureParser to true

I think you are right: the problem is that even adding the Woodstox JARs to the project build path (even adding them in the CXF directories so they are picked by Eclipse when adding the runtime) is not enough: the wizard seems to ignore them. So far I've resolved to go back to older CXF where Woodstox was not required, and I've filed an Eclipse bug to ask them to check how the wizard works. – Marco May 25 '13 at 18:28
Which version doesn't require Woodstox? – pacoverflow Nov 21 '13 at 09:00

If you upgrade to CXF 3.0.0 or later, you **shouldn't** add **woodstock** (woodstox-core-asl and stax2-api) dependencies. If you do you will get the famous exception – Jad B. Dec 18 '14 at 08:22

Try removing these 2 jar files from the glassfish\modules directory:

woodstox-core-asl.jar
stax2-api.jar

I think it will prevent the 2 JAR files (woodstox and stax2) from the CXF project from being used after deployment.

Try excluding this if it exists as a dependency somewhere, and use Woodstox 4.2.0:

<artifactId>wstx-asl</artifactId>
<groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId>

I faced the same issue in JDeveloper and that got resolved by adding "woodstox-core-asl-4.2.1.jar" to the classpath.

i was facing the same issue but deploying it to web sphere, and after a research of few hours figured out the exact version for woodstox, i.e. below

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId>
    <artifactId>woodstox-core-asl</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>

This https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409070 link also helped to figured it out.

Both Java and .Net clients working fine.
