I might provide some hints / suggestion to help, but generally speaking one of aims of the JBossWS-CXF project is exactly solving this kind of integration problems. What's the full stacktrace? And where did you add the wss4j lib? It seems there's some kind of clash, given the classloader for the jbossws.deployer is trying to access that apache class. Or the classloading setup you mention below is preventing jbossws from accessing wss4j classes (and why does it need them?). Besides jokes (how is that JBossWS is vendor specific and Apache CXF and Spring later are not? ;-) ), JBossWS-CXF provides a integration layer for CXF on top of JBoss AS. So you can use plain jaxws api and stay really on a 100% portable application, or you can use the apache cxf api (annotations, interceptors, ...) with it. Take a look at the documentation for more info. OK, in any case it's not clear if you're deploying a ws endpoint or you have a servlet app acting as a ws client. The full stacktrace above might reveal more on when the exception is thrown and what throws it. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/597751#597751] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
