Question

I’m trying to deploy a WAR in GF V3 that has CXF as a dependency and I get the following exception:

[#|2011-02-08T07:34:15.736-0800|WARNING|oracle-glassfish3.0.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.web.com.sun.enterprise.web|_ThreadID=32;_ThreadName=http-thread-pool-8080-(2);|StandardWrapperValve[MyServlet]: PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet MyServlet threw exception

This sorta indicates to me that there is a bundle in my WAR\lib directory that is causing problems, but when I expand the WAR and do a search on META-INF\services I do not find anything that is close what is outlined in the exception.

I originally had CXF and it’s transitive dependencies in the war\lib dir, but I’ve since removed that and still encounter the same error.

Nothing useful comes up when searching google and I’m at a loss here.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

EDIT #1

Another symptom of this is that the tester pages for deployed web services will not work properly.

I had a similar problem with my glassfish3.1. Below is a stack trace

The problem was traced to the conflicting mappings for “com.sun.xml.ws.api.pipe.TransportPipeFactory” inside two different modules.

prompt> grep -rl com.sun.xml.ws.api.pipe.TransportPipeFactory /usr/local/glassfish-3.1/glassfish/domains/modules*

modules/webservices-osgi.jar
modules/sun-javaee-engine.jar

prompt> grep -rl com.sun.enterprise.jbi.serviceengine.bridge.transport.JBITransportPipeFactory /usr/local/glassfish-3.1/glassfish/domains/modules/*
modules/sun-javaee-engine.jar

Clearly, the required file was sitting in the wrong jar “sun-javaee-engine.jar”.

Above, “sun-javaee-engine.jar” is loaded by the “Java EE Service Engine Module”. Once I removed the module (using glassfish update tool) everything started working fine.

EDIT #1:
Here is how to remove the module using the update tool on the Unix command line:

sudo ./pkg uninstall sun-javaee-engine
