spring-ws - Oracle Weblogic 12c

Question

I'm trying to deploy a SOAP based application on my Weblogic 12c but I'm having a lot of problems.

I have implemented SpringBootServletInitializer:

public class AppSoapService extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(AppSoapService.class, args);
    }

    /**
     * Configure the application. Normally all you would need to do is to add sources
     * (e.g. config classes) because other settings have sensible defaults. You might
     * choose (for instance) to add default command line arguments, or set an active
     * Spring profile.
     *
     * @param builder a builder for the application context
     * @return the application builder
     * @see SpringApplicationBuilder
     */
    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return builder.sources(AppSoapService.class, WebServiceConfig.class);
    }

}

Following How to Spring Boot app run on weblogic 12C? and Spring Boot exception: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcherServlet-servlet.xml], I have created dispatcherServlet-servlet.xml but now I'm getting the follow error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/messageDispatcherServlet-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/messageDispatcherServlet-servlet.xml]

This is my weblogic.xml

Could someone help me?

Why don't you pass AssuranceSoapService to the builder.sources method? — Simon Martinelli, Apr 03 '20 at 13:07
Yes,I'm passing this class (I change the name in order to hide this in stack overflow) — Jose A. Matarán, Apr 03 '20 at 13:17

This is a bit old question. I found myself in the same situation. Looking further I found: https://jtuto.com/solved-exposing-soap-webservice-with-spring-boot-and-weblogic/

Then, combining both the documentation in Spring about deploying into Weblogic (link provided in the question), and the information in the previous link, the webservice deployed straighforward.

In my case, I needed to deploy to a WL 12.1.3 with JDK 1.7. So I had to go back to spring-boot 1.5 and specify version 2.5.0 for org.codehaus.mojo.jaxb2-maven-plugin. Otherwise, some dependencies required a higher version of JDK. In the case Java 8 is available for Weblogic, this would not apply.
