Hi guys,
I found another problem deploying the XTS interop tests to AS7. I can work round it but I think there issomething wrong in the dpeloyment model.
The deployment is a war which includes a junit jar in WEB-INF/lib and a mix of servlet classes and JaxWS endpoint implementation classes in WEB-INF/classes. When I deploy the web-app the JaxWS endpoint classes are not recognised as JaxWS endpoints even though they do have WebService annottaions (thsi is not a missing depenendencies problem -- the annotations do exist on the class).

It turns out that the problem is to do with the presence of both a WEB-INF classes directory and WEB-INF/lib jars. I stopped the debugger in WSDependenciesProcessor.isJaxwsJseDeployment() and identified the problem.
private boolean isJaxwsJseDeployment(final DeploymentUnit unit) {
final boolean isWarDeployment = DeploymentTypeMarker.isType(DeploymentType.WAR, unit);
if (isWarDeployment) {
final Index index = ASHelper.getRootAnnotationIndex(unit);
final WarMetaData warMetaData = ASHelper.getOptionalAttachment(unit, WarMetaData.ATTACHMENT_KEY);
if (warMetaData != null && warMetaData.getWebMetaData() != null) {
return (ASHelper.selectWebServiceServlets(index, warMetaData.getWebMetaData().getServlets(), true).size() > 0);
}
}
return false;
}
The problem is that call to ASHelper.getRootAnnotationIndex. The deployment has two entries in its annotation map, one for the stuff in WEB-INF/lib and another for the stuff in WEB-INF/classes. getRootAnnotationIndex picks the first one it finds with the MODULE_ROOT_MARKER tag. Unfortunately both of them have this tag and it returns the one for WEB-INF/lib losing all info about the annotations on classes in WEB-INF/classes.
I suppose this is an AS problem more than a WS one but its definitely going to cause some difficulties for WS users.
