biswa mishra [https://community.jboss.org/people/mishra900] created the discussion "Jboss 7.1.1 as having problems with Picketlink 2.0.3-Final for CXF endpoints" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/779019#779019 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am trying to develop  apache CXF web service endpoints  using Picketlink 2.0.3-Final.jar   and deploying in Jboss 7.1.1 AS. I have updated Jboss 7.1.1 As   org.picketlink  modules with Picketlink 2.0.3-Final.jars as mentioned in some of the links in forum . all the examples are getting deployed and working as expected . I am planning to deploy my CXF web services as  .war file in Jboss Standalone deployment .  i have added  <extension module="org.picketlink"/> in the standalone.xml So it means , if i will deploy *.war file , i donot need to add picketlink 2.0.3-final related jars in to web-inf\lib folder , but looks like WAR file got deployed but not started .... Hence i have added picketlink 2.0.3-final related jars in to web-inf\lib folder , and redeployed , now WAR file got deployed and started also and i am able to see  CXF endpoints started also like below :   21:30:41,029 INFO [org.jboss.wsf.stack.cxf.metadata.MetadataBuilder] (MSC service thread 1-4) Add Service id=org.picketlink.identity.federation.core.wstrust.PicketLinkSTS

CXF endpoints ... , any tips from the Jboss Security team will be really helpful ..  Even i have tried with Jboss 7.1.0 As  using Picketlink 2.0.2 -final build , same issue persists  Thanks, Biswa -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/779019#779019] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
