Cannot Implement WS-Security UsernameToken of SOAP Axis Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to implement the UsernameToken WS-Security in PI 7.11 using the Receiver SOAP Axis Adapter but we are getting the error below:

com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis/description/OperationDesc : cannot initialize class because prior initialization attempt failed

We have already asked the Basis Team to deploy the optional components in SOAP Axis, however, the error still persist. Do you have any idea on how we could resolve the issue?

Hi guys,

My few cents:

• Check url: server:port:/XIAxisAdapter/MessageServlet is OK and no missing components.
• And try next configuration:

cheers,

I'm also facing the same issue. I'm using Axis adapter at receiver side. Receriver side communication channel is throwing the error as follows:

com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis/description/OperationDesc : cannot initialize class because prior initialization attempt failed

All basis components were installed including optional ones. Please give a solution, if you find out.

Hi Sapna,

Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't able to make the SOAP Axis working as our Basis team did not have time to look into it. I used the SOAP adapter instead and created the SOAP envelope with WSSE Security standard using the java mapping.

The link provided by Roberto might be useful.

Kind Regards,

Jenny
