Description

A patch to be able to run JBoss 4.2.3 on JDK 1.7 or higher

Who is concerned?

If you have encoutered

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot build JAXB context ... java.lang.StackTraceElement does not have a no-arg default constructor ...

on JBoss 4.2.3 when trying to run on a JDK 1.7 or higher, then this can help you.

How-To?

Using a ZIP tool (Z-zip or else):

1. Open the jar jbossws-core.jar located in the deploy/jbossws.sar folder of your server instance
2. Navigate (within the ZIP tool) to org/jboss/ws/core/jaxws/ folder and replace the AbstractWrapperGenerator.class class with the provided one, inside the jar (rememeber that a jar is a nothing but a zip file!)
3. Restart your server

Important notes

1. You may have also to place the following libraries within the JBoss endorsed folder

• jboss-saaj.jar
• jboss-jaxrpc.jar
• jboss-jaxws.jar
• jboss-jaxws-ext.jar
• jaxb-api.jar

2. It it important to compile the AbstractWrapperGenerator.java with a Java 1.6 compliance level, otherwiser you will encounter problems of type java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError
