org.jboss.axis.ConfigurationException: No engine configuration file
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-3671
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3671
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web Services
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1
            Reporter: Keith Gregory
         Assigned To: Thomas Diesler
            Priority: Minor


The default org.jboss.axis.client.Service constructor will throw this exception. My particular case involves creating a new Service object from within an EJB, but this should occur with any client.

Tracing through the code, I discovered that org.jboss.axis.configuration.EngineConfigurationFactoryDefault defines the default filenames for the client configuration as "client-config.wsdd", while the actual file distributed with jboss-ws4ee-client.jar is "axis-client-config.xml". When the Service object is constructed, org.jboss.axis.configuration.FileProvider looks on the classpath for "client-config.wsdd", and of course can't find it.

The workaround specified in JBAS-1106 puts a file with the correct name but possibly the wrong configuration information onto the classpath, where FileProvider can find it. This will work for a standalone client, but not for client code within an EJB, since the Axis packages appear to be loaded with a different classloader than that for the EJB.

The workaround is to provide the Service constructor with a FileProvider that specifies the correct configuration file:
new Service(new FileProvider("META-INF/axis-client-config.xml"))
