Andrew Dinn [http://community.jboss.org/people/adinn] replied to the discussion "XTS tests broken in AS trunk after switch to CXF stack in 3.3.0" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/546743#546743 -------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think that is what is happening here. I believe it is the endpoint annotations not the WSDL which is being used. My endpoint implemenation bean and the method which is failing are coded as follows As you can see the output response action is specified using the @Action annotation. Now looking at the exception stack you cqan see that when MAPAggregator executes as part of the output pipeline processing it tries to obtain the action associated with the response message by calling ContextUtils.getAction(message). This calls Contextutils.getActionFromServiceModel(message,  null) which obtains the outbound message info and calls Contextutils.getActionFromMessageAttributes(msgInfo). The latter makes the call to ContextUtils.getAction(msgInfo) which blows up. Now the odd thing is that message info  has an action associated with it in the extension attributes hashmap and CXF has put it there. The key for the atribute is { http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing}Action and the value is the one I specified in the @Action annotation. The lookup in MAPAggregator is trying to look it up using all the other possible keys (2006/05, 2007/05 etc) but not the one for the value which has been installed in the attributes map. Since this causes it to fall over when it fails to find an entry in the map I suspect the problem is that it is using the wrong key for the first test in ContextUtils.getAction(). Where it says I believe it should say However, I don't see how this could ever have passed any sensible sort of QA process. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/546743#546743] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services CXF at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
