Jan 26, 2023 3:19:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart

Issues started around middle of January 2023 when tried to restart the server.

Seems that issue is caused by the redirect (HTTP 302) from HTTP to HTTPS and application cannot process it. So probably related to HTTPS redirect (newly done) by w3c.org. More details in:

• https://www.w3.org/blog/2022/07/redirecting-to-https-on-www-w3-org/
• https://www.w3.org/blog/2022/08/https-redirection-observations/

Related to the fact that app is using @SchemaValidation (com.sun.xml.ws.developer) and in the WSDL we have element with type="xs:base64Binary" xmime:expectedContentTypes="application/octet-stream" xmlns:xmime="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime" (due to the MTOM)

Application is using:

• openjdk version "1.8.0_362" (Temurin)
• Apache Tomcat 8.5.78
• jaxws-ri 2.3.5

We were trying to use different JDK to try if there could be difference in SAX parser. But no luck.

Is there please a way how to resolve it? (questions next to linked w3c.org articles remains not answered)

Answer 1

We found the solution: It is enough to upgrade jaxws (jaxws-rt or jaxws-ri - depends on your usage).

We upgraded to version 2.3.6 released 6.2.2023:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.6</version>
</dependency>

Didn't find any release notes so far.
