             Summary: JAX-WS: HandlerChain-Annotation referencing file outside Java Archive causes JBAS015507
                 Key: WFLY-4120
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4120
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Web Services
    Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Final
         Environment: Windows 8.1
            Reporter: Manfred Otte
            Assignee: Alessio Soldano
            Priority: Minor


Regarding JSR 109, chapter 6.3 the "handler chain file can also be packaged and specified in the annotation such that, it is accessible as a resource from the ClassPath. At runtime, container providers must first try to access the handler chain file as per the locations specified in JSR-181 specification. Failing that, they must try to access it as a resource from the ClassPath."

The JBoss AS Documentation states that "The war is considered to be a single module, so classes defined in WEB-INF/lib are treated the same as classes in WEB-INF/classes. All classes packaged in the war will be loaded with the same class loader" (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7).

Following this statements I think it should be fine to have a HandlerChain-annnotated Webservice within a JAR inside a WAR (WEB-INF/lib) referencing a handler chain file that ist not part of the JAR but resides in WEB-INF/classes. However this situation results in 

{code}
Internal Server Error
{
    "outcome" => "failed",
    "failure-description" => {"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit.\"testjsr109.war\".PARSE" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit.\"testjsr109.war\".PARSE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment \"testjsr109.war\"
    Caused by: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: JBAS015507: Handler chain config file handlerchain.xml not found in ResourceRoot [root=\"/D:/tools/wildfly-8.2.0.Final/bin/content/testjsr109.war/WEB-INF/lib/testjsr109.jar\"]"}},
    "rolled-back" => true
}
{code}

The implementation of org.jboss.as.webservices.injection.WSHandlerChainAnnotationProcessor seems to expect, that the handler chain file is always part of the ResourceRoot the annotated WebService lives in. With respect to JSR 109 I think that this expectation is wrong and that a handler chain file outside the JAR is a valid scenario.
