Hello, i am new to this list, and i am currently working on my diploma thesis around web service transactions. In the meantime i am trying to establish a transactinal communication between a servlet client on JBoss 4.2.2 with JBoss TS 4.2.3 SP7 correctly installed (all demo applications run) and a simple HelloWorld web service on a glassfish v2 with wsit 1.1. When my client servlet invokes the web service, the transaction context is correctly attached to the soap message, the registration of the participant fails. Following Exception occurs: javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: WSTX-AT-0022: Registration with durable parent failed: ' coordId=urn:-3f574dec:545:489b0928:6a partId:2 ' at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS.getSOAPFaultException(SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS.java:69) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.binding.SOAP11BindingJAXWS.throwFaultException(SOAP11BindingJAXWS.java:109) at org.jboss.ws.core.CommonSOAPBinding.unbindResponseMessage(CommonSOAPBinding.java:553) at org.jboss.ws.core.CommonClient.invoke(CommonClient.java:371) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.client.ClientImpl.invoke(ClientImpl.java:243) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.client.ClientProxy.invoke(ClientProxy.java:164) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.client.ClientProxy.invoke(ClientProxy.java:150) at $Proxy82.sayHello(Unknown Source) at de.mabu.interop.glassfish.client.ClientServlet.doPost(ClientServlet.java:46) at de.mabu.interop.glassfish.client.ClientServlet.doGet(ClientServlet.java:33) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:179) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:262) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:446) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) In the upper fault scenario the two application servers are located on different machines, when i run both on the same machine the behavior is different but also without success. In that case the web service is invoked correctly but the commit failed. If i understand the stack trace the problem is the failing ssl handshake, but i have never configured such a mechanism. Following stack trace can be seen in the jboss logfile: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
