In my former post (here) I described how to combine Spring WS with StAX parsing the SOAP messages. I ended with generating the WSDL as a test and said you could use Soap UI for testing the web service.
Well, I did. And I was running into the following error when I had deployed my web [...]

As I have posted before we are using XFire to implement our web service. Unfortunately, we are running into some serious issues with the framework, so we decided to look after another implementation. Since XFire is no longer supported by the community (or at least at a very low profile) and 'replaced' by CXF, we [...]

In our project we use the JSF 1.2 Sun Reference Implementation as web layer. Although I find JSF much easier to work with then with the good old Struts, I am still missing some features in the Sun RI. These features are available in other JSF implementations (Oracle ADF Faces for instance). The most important [...]

In this blog I'll show you how you can create a WebService of your EJB3 objects by using anotations. I will also show you how to build and deploy the package with Maven2. Let's start with the initial situation.
I have installed JBoss 4.2.1 and Maven2. In my settings.xml of Maven2 I have set a property [...]

Today I was asked to help solving an issue with an application that was deployed on JBoss 4.0.5.GA. It had been running for some months without a problem, until a new application had to be deployed. This new application demanded that the isolation level in the ear-deployer.xml config file had to be set to its [...]

Do you recognize this feeling? Although you are using a certain set of tools/ frameworks for a while to develop your applications every now and then you get surprised by a certain error message you haven't seen before? And to your knowledge you didn't do anything different compared to the last time you used it.
Well, [...]

As you might have noticed in my earlier posts I am currently using Maven2 for building and deploying our applications. And although I am a big fan of it and I see a lot of advantages in using it, I sometimes would like to throw my PC out of the window because it is driving [...]

I have just begun at a new project with some new technologies. I am currently developing applications using EJB3, JSF1.2 and Facelets. We deploy the application on a JBoss 4.2.1 server. For the building, testing and packaging we are using Maven2. I have used it before at other projects and I must say: it is [...]

In our project we have a webservice that receives a message, processes it and sends a response back. Very common for a webservice I think
Now there was an extra request: log all messages in a database so we could get management info out of it, like in which hour of the day are we [...]

For our application which is making use of queues to achieve aynchronious processing we also have build a web-application as kind of dashboard for the system. With this web-application the system administrator can stop, start and schedule batch processes. One thing that was really handy to show on the webpage were the number of messages [...]
