[wildfly-dev] Patching WSDL4J (or perhaps forking?)

[Alessio Soldano]

Folks,
when running the jbossws testsuite against WFLY master with security 
manager enabled, I've noticed that the following permission is required 
to build up JAXWS clients (actually to be able to parse any WSDL):

   <permission class="java.io.FilePermission" 
name="/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_17/jre/lib/wsdl.properties" actions="read"/>

That's basically a non existing file in my java.home. The reason is in 
WSDL4J, which seems to be missing a SecurityException catch block in 
javax.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactory#findFactoryImplName().
I thought about reporting the issue, but afaics the project "lives" at 
sourceforge.net (on cvs  scm...) and, more important, since Oct 2011 
there's already a patch proposal [1] for the issue which has never been 
commented / considered.

How should we move forward here? Suggestions / proposals? Anybody here 
is in the JSR-110 EG and can get in touch with the WSDL4J devs?
