> I am deploying Axis 1.2RC3 in a war that resides within an ear. The axis jars are in the war/WEB-INF/lib dir. For various reasons related to the other contents of my ear, I must use PARENT_FIRST classloading. As many have reported, if you have PARENT_FIRST classloading on WebSphere 5.1 with Axis 1.2RC3, then there is a conflict between the version of saaj (1.1) that ships with WebSphere, and the version of saaj (1.2) that Axis 1.2RC3 expects, and you get the following exception:
>  
> java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: class org.apache.axis.SOAPPart does not implement interface org.w3c.dom.Document
>  
> This issue can be resolved with PARENT_LAST classloading and a manifest which specifies the classpath...but for those of use who can't use PARENT_LAST classloading, there is another option.
>  
> It appears that a single source code change to Axis will eliminate the issue altogether. The offending code is in org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.addTextNode(), and can be patched as follows:
>  
> OLD CODE:
>  
> public SOAPElement addTextNode(String s) throws SOAPException {
>     try {
>             Text text = getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(s);
>             ((org.apache.axis.message.Text)text).setParentElement(this);
>             return this;
>         } catch (ClassCastException e) {
>             throw new SOAPException(e);
>         }
> }
>  
> PATCHED CODE:
>  
> public SOAPElement addTextNode(String s) throws SOAPException {
>     try {
>             Text text = new org.apache.axis.message.Text(s);
>             this.appendChild(text);
>             return this;
>         } catch (ClassCastException e) {
>             throw new SOAPException(e);
> }
>  
> After making this change, Axis 1.2RC3 will run on WebSphere 5.1 with PARENT_FIRST classloading, and no exceptions will be thrown.
