Unable to access the AXIS webservice?

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

 I am trying to import the wsdl provided from Magento in CQ fleix console by using SOAP services (RPC).

 For that we added some support jars as OSGI bundle into fleix.

I mentioned the exception below.Please suggest me to solve it.

axis.jar
commons-discovery-0.2
javax.wsdl_1.6.2.v201012040545
jaxrpc
org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v201101211617
commons-net-3.3

Thanks in advance

Although I am not the originator of this thread, I am facing the same issue when trying to call a web service with Axis. The web service client requires Apache AXIS which in turn requires the commons logging library. We converted all jars into bundle and installed in Felix. All bundle's have in Active state .Now we get a runtime error

In the AEM web service article -- we successfully created Java Proxy files that consumed a 3rd party web service (http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL) using  Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS): https://jax-ws.java.net/2.2.1/. 

Try using JAX-WS as opposed to AXIS. Follow the article - its been tested many times and works.

Thanks,

As per our requirement, we are using Axis JAX-RPC based web service. i attached installed bundle screenshot. Please guide me.

[smacdonald2008]

The AEM community team will make Creating AEM Web Services Bundles with AXIS a priority. The Eng team guided us to use JAX-WS which we did and it works. However -- we will look into what needs to be done to build an AEM Web Service bundle with AXIS. Its a different set of Java libs (AXIS vs JAX-WS) and most likely is a dependency issue.

Ya your right, May be package conflict issue ( Common Discovery bundle with  org.apache.sling.commons.log bundle) 

     

Imported Packages

org.apache.commons.logging,version=1.1.1 from org.apache.sling.commons.log (3)

For axis and common discovery bundle requires org.apache.sling.commons.log package. we need to use that package

How to solve the dependency issue.

[smacdonald2008]

When using CQ and web services, I recommend using JAX-WS over AXIS when possible due to all of the AXIS JAR dependencies that you need to get into CQ. If you want to use AXIS instead of JAX-WS -- one of our top contributors in the AEM community has written a really useful article that talks about using AXIS and CQ:

This article will guide you how to get the required AXIS dependencies into CQ
