RE : Jar files in EAR root.

["Faucher, Christian" <Ch...@axa-canada.com>]

Hi,
 
Depending how close to the specs your app server is, you may have to add
a "class-path" entry to the MANIFEST.MF of each JARs that use the
axis.jar at the root of your EAR.  Note that the entry is relative to
the EAR root, e.g. "axis.jar" should suffice.  If you put it in EAR, in
library/, then it would be library/axis.jar.
 
This is actually documented in J2EE spec.  However, some AppServers
automatically "add" JARs at the root to the EAR classpath (e.g. to
classpath of sub-components, WAR, JAR, etc.), some do not.  We use
SunONE, for which we have to add this damned manifest entry to refer to
"global" JARs in our EAR.
 
Hope it helps...

Objet : Jar files in EAR root.



I have been trying to invoke Axis jar files installed under EAR root (as
opposed to webapp/WEB-INF/lib) for the past couple of days but with no
success. It does work fine if I keep all files under web-inf/lib but
needed to move them to EAR folder since couple of our application jars
need to see Axis jars. EAR root is always included in an enterprise app
class path and should work, but doesn't.

Instead it gives ClassNotFoundException for javax.xml.soap.SOAPException
which is in saaj.jar. I keep getting this error even if I copy saaj.jar
to web-inf/lib folder.

I have seen this same problem reported in the past not seen any
solution.

Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.

Re: Axis & workflow based services

Hi Paul,

I have been looking closely at Beehive, however I
don't think it is suitable right now since its
workflows are designed for the web layer, not for web
services.

Thanks,
Abdullah

You might want to take a look at Apache Beehive...  It is more
oriented toward service-based presentation layers.

Bill,

Thanks for the input. However, my presentation layer
is going to be Laszlo, and I want to communicate with
the business layer using axis. That's why I can't get
to struts, axis will be processing the request first.

Thanks,
Abdullah

As far as I understand, people usually talk about separating the 
"presentation layer" and the "business layer", rather than separating 
the "view layer" from the "business layer". So, it sounds like you 
should write the presentation layer (model, view, and controller) in 
struts, but the struts Actions should call the "business layer" via web 
services.  IE, the parts relating to displaying web pages and to web 
page flow should be in struts, and the Business layer contains "support" 
functions like "addEmployee()".

What do you think?

Axis & workflow based services

[Abdullah Jibaly <am...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

Is there a recommended way to implement workflow based
web services? I want my view layer to communicate with
the business layer using web services and was
wondering what the best way to approach this is. I
can't use a standard MVC framework like struts since
the request is sent to AxisServlet, right?

Thanks in advance,
Abdullah
