How do I call a Webservice from a post-function defined in a version 2 plugin

[Thomas Leineweber]

I want to call an external Webservice from a workflow post-function. The workflow post.function is in a version 2 plugin. I get the Exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: interface com.sun.xml.internal.ws.developer.WSBindingProvider is not visible from class loader

Why are these Classes of the JRE not visible and how can I make the needed classes visible for my plugin?

The problem was, that we tried to call a JAX-WS 2 Webservice.

When we changed to a JAX-RPC generated Webservice-client generated by axis 1.4, everything is working smooth.

Thomas, I have to do the same thing. Call external web service in a post function. Any way I could see your code on how you accomplished this. Thanks for your time and help. Mike Whitlock mwhitlock@ercot.com

Mike, we have reverted to using JAX-RPC and axis 1.4 for generating the Webservice-Client. You can find a very short HOWTO (it is not my site) here:

I think you would need to add explicit dependency in pom.xml.

although importing all (*), the message remains.

When using the explicit import on com.sun.xml.internal.ws.*, it says, that the plugin can not be started as this package is nowhere exported
