JAX-WS = When Apache CXF is installed it “steals” default JDK JAX-WS implementation, how to solve?

Question

I have a strange problem.

1. Using wsimport I generated als JAX-WS Code from a WSDL (in a dedicated eclipse java project). This works fine in JDK6 without any

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. In my case I had to use org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl for JAX-WS stuff (creating webservice endpoints etc.) and com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl for publishing endpoints on com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpsServer.

I managed to solve this by creating my own provider which extends javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider and using it instead of the default one.

package provider;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
import javax.xml.ws.EndpointReference;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature;
import javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider;
import javax.xml.ws.spi.ServiceDelegate;
import javax.xml.ws.wsaddressing.W3CEndpointReference;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class MyProvider extends Provider
{

@SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
@Override
public ServiceDelegate createServiceDelegate(URL wsdlDocumentLocation, QName serviceName, Class serviceClass)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).createServiceDelegate(wsdlDocumentLocation, serviceName, serviceClass.getClass());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public Endpoint createEndpoint(String bindingId, Object implementor)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).createEndpoint(bindingId, implementor);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public Endpoint createAndPublishEndpoint(String address, Object implementor)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).createAndPublishEndpoint(address, implementor);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public EndpointReference readEndpointReference(Source eprInfoset)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).readEndpointReference(eprInfoset);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public  T getPort(EndpointReference endpointReference, Class serviceEndpointInterface, WebServiceFeature... features)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).getPort(endpointReference, serviceEndpointInterface, features);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public W3CEndpointReference createW3CEndpointReference(String address, QName serviceName, QName portName, List metadata, String wsdlDocumentLocation, List referenceParameters)
{
    try {
        return ((Provider) Class.forName("org.apache.cxf.jaxws.spi.ProviderImpl").newInstance()).createW3CEndpointReference(address, serviceName, portName, metadata, wsdlDocumentLocation,
                referenceParameters);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

}

Then simply create:

/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider

file (assuming you are using Maven) with the following contents:

package.MyProvider
