Question

i created a ws client using wsconsume tool of jboxx 4.2.2 (it’s mandatory that i use jboss 4.2.2 for my project).

When i archived and deployed the jar, and used it in my project, it threw a class not found exception.

After the investigation, it turned out that required jaxb libraries are not included in jboss 4.2.2 by default.

I can simply copy the required libraries in from the client folder to server/default/lib from , but i was wondering if there is a configuration i can change to include the client folder by default?

sidenote: i find it strange that i can generate the client but not be able to deploy it without copying the jaxb libraries or adjusting the config, am i missing something?

Yes. JBoss 4 is ancient, and pre-dates JAXB 2.

No, you’ll need to include the required libraries either in your application itself, or in server/default/lib.

Generating code is just an exercise in outputting text. It doesn’t in itself require the libraries that it generates code to use.
