Resolving the FileNotFoundException for WSDL in JBoss EAP 7.3 Deployments

If you’re deploying a web service in JBoss EAP 7.3 and encounter a FileNotFoundException indicating that the WSDL file cannot be located, you’re not alone. This issue commonly arises during deployment due to incorrect path references in your project configuration. In this guide, we’ll delve into the cause of the problem and how to resolve it effectively.

The Problem Explained

When you try deploying your web service using Maven (for example, with the command mvn wildfly:deploy), you might see an error message like this:

This message indicates that the system is looking for your WSDL file in the wrong directory, specifically in the JBoss installation folder instead of your project's structure.

Why Is This Happening?

The root cause of this issue lies in misconfigured paths in your pom.xml file and the generated Java classes. Specifically, you need to ensure that the WSDL file path is correct and corresponds to its location in your project structure.

Solution Breakdown

To resolve this issue, you'll need to adjust your configuration in the pom.xml and verify how the generated Java classes reference the WSDL. Here’s how to do that:

Step 1: Check Your WSDL Path in pom.xml

Firstly, examine the wsdlOptions section in your pom.xml configuration. It should look something like this:

In this configuration:

WSDL Path: The first line specifies the file path where the WSDL is actually located in your project.

WSDL Location: The second line denotes the location of the WSDL as it will be accessed when run on the JBoss server.

Make sure that the WSDL Location corresponds correctly to the build path. If you’ve already included the src/main/resources folder in your build path, the wsdlLocation should not include this portion.

Step 2: Update Your Java Class Annotations

After adjusting the pom.xml, ensure that the Java class generated by CXF includes the wsdlLocation parameter in the @ WebService annotation. This is crucial as it tells the application where to find the WSDL during runtime.

For example, the annotation should look like this:

By keeping the path relative to your project structure, you help avoid looking for the WSDL in the incorrect locations.

Step 3: Redeploy Your Application

Once you've made these changes, repackage and redeploy your application. Running the mvn wildfly:deploy command again should now properly locate your WSDL file without throwing the FileNotFoundException.

Conclusion

By ensuring correct path configurations in your pom.xml and Java files, you can effectively eliminate the FileNotFoundException error when deploying web services in JBoss EAP 7.3. This solution not only fixes the current deployment issue but also establishes best practices for web service configurations in future projects.

If you continue to encounter issues, double-check your project structure and build configurations to ensure everything aligns correctly.
