Soap Request Error in Websphere Portal


The scenario is,
We created a Webservice (say WS1) using WebExperience factory V8.0.0.2 and the websphere application server is V8.0.0.10. The WS1 has an operation which calls another webservice (say WS2) for some authentication. All are soap services. When testing this scenario locally we were able to invoke the underlying webservice WS2 and was able to get the response.
I deployed it in Webphere Portal, wp_profile, but when I called the service WS1 it is showing some SOAP error. The error is happening when WS1 invokes WS2. We are using Portal 8.0 and the Application Server version is 8.0.0.10.
I changed the class loading to parent last in the application module. But it is still showing the error.

Can anyone help me on this issue..


Solution

  • The WARs you're deploying to the two servers (working and non-working) are different one is dev mode WAR built by deploying from designer (which is a dual mode WAR that supports the WEF standalone servlet mode plus portlets) and the other an exported portlet WAR. If so, then the two WARs would have different sets of JARs (less jars in the portlet WAR which defers to portal for some of those APIs).

    Please cross checked the module class loader in the application module. saaj-api.jar will be missing in dev mode war bulid. Remove the saaj-api.jar from the lib and export the war and deploy.
