XFire在Websphere Application Server5.1里运行的空指针异常的解决

最近在部署Server方面碰到了一个非常棘手的问题，在WAS5.1上部署App server成功没有任何异常，客户端连接和操作没有任何问题。当用到了一个特殊的服务时，出现了问题，这个服务又和Web Service相关，项目里用到了Web Service作为另一部分的业务支持。但是有意思的是在RAD+WAS Test Environment的开发环境下没有一点问题，却偏偏在本地QA环境下不行。后来发现请求wsdl文件时也会出类似异常。

 

本地QA环境如下：（真实QA环境部署在Soloris下）

OS: Windows XP

软件架构：WAS 5.1＋Sonic MQ6.1 + Oracle10g （全部都是单服务器）

XFire 1.2.5

 

抛出异常：

看到这个异常一般大家都会以为是classpath没配置好或者缺少相应jar包。我也是这么做的，于是检查了下，但是该jar确实存在，classpath理论上没有问题。于是重新打包重新部署，几次折腾之后，异常出现了变化：

 这次没辙了，Google了下，发现中文资料还真是稀少（用这种架构的不多，毕竟都是狂贵的东东），在一堆英文网页里挖掘发现还是有人碰到类似的问题，其中MS有个是IBM的人说把WAS里java/jre/lib里的两个properties文件：jaxp.properties和Xerces.properties里最下面被注释的属性去掉注释，给设置回来可以解决。看了下，是下面三行属性设置。

 

＃javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
＃javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
＃javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

 

看这些类还真像回事，蛮以为去掉注释，哈雷路亚搞定了，不想，试了下还是不行。继续搜索着偶然发现了下面的一段话：

I've seen some posts which relate to this issue, so I've tried to add an '
xml.stream.properties' file with these settings:

javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory
javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory
javax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxEventFactory

into my web app lib directory, but I'm still getting the error.

 

想了想，把他的属性设置拷贝进那个IBM的人说的两个文件的，然后stop server，保存文件，重启server，再试了一次，OK搞定，yeah！

 

但是想不通的是，在RAD的开发环境里也是一样的设置，为什么那个没有问题。由于IBM的那套东西不能debug，折腾这个剩下的矛盾已没有意义。WAS6已经出来，希望在新的版本平台上没有这个问题:-)
