Weblogic 11g (10.3.5) Spring Framework 3.1.3 Spring Web Services 2.1.1 Spring-ws web service running

  • 0
  • Weblogic 11g (10.3.5)
  • Spring Framework 3.1.3
  • Spring Web Services 2.1.1

Spring-ws web service running on Weblogic. The same web service works fine in Tomcat and Spring vFabric, but throws these cryptic exceptions under Weblogic. My implementation code is never reached on Weblogic, rather request handling breaks down at some point during unmarshalling. I’ve tried to debug through the issue, but two factors complicate that. First, the unmarshaller is coming from Weblogic, which means I don’t have the source. Second, the primary exception is coming from java.net.URL, which it seems that the Eclipse debugger cannot inspect local variable values.

Here’s the stack trace, with the trace-level logs leading up to it.

    I was able to resolve this. Classloading does seem to have been the culprit, but it didn’t have anything to do with bundled Spring or installation paths. Rather, I had defined an explicit message factory for Spring’s SaajSoapMessageFactory. The factory method on javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory seems to have been throwing an exception, but has also proved to be entirely unnecessary. I removed this bean from the config and all is well.
