We use JBoss at Fujitsu as platform for our ServerView products. Currently we are shifting from JBoss 5.1 to JBoss 7. While we used the Metro WS stack with JBoss 5.1, we now want to use the CXF stack. After some adaptation works our web services work fine, except when JBoss is installed in a directory whose path name contains blank characters. In this case the following messages appear in the log file:

There problem here is that the apparently missing WSDL file "fault.wsdl" is created in the directory

C:\Program%20Files\Fujitsu\ServerView%20Suite\jboss\standalone\data\wsdl\STS.ear\sts-endpoint.war\Unversioned\fault.wsdl

rather than in the correct directory

C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\ServerView Suite\jboss\standalone\data\wsdl\STS.ear\sts-endpoint.war\Unversioned\fault.wsdl,

where it is later on searched for.

I found no other workaround than to correct the problem in line 86 of this source file:

[jbossws-cxf-server-4.0.2.GA]/src/main/java/org/jboss/wsf/stack/cxf/deployment/WSDLFilePublisher.java

Original:

83 Document doc = getWsdlDocument(bus, def);
84 writeDocument(doc, wsdlFile);
85
86 URL wsdlPublishURL = wsdlFile.toURI().toURL();
87 log.info("WSDL published to: " + wsdlPublishURL);
88
89 // Process the wsdl imports

Workaround:

83 Document doc = getWsdlDocument(bus, def);
84 writeDocument(doc, wsdlFile);
85
86 //URL wsdlPublishURL = wsdlFile.toURI().toURL(); incorrect! Workaround below:
87 URL wsdlPublishURL = new URL(URLDecoder.decode(wsdlFile.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm(), "UTF-8"));
88 log.info("WSDL published to: " + wsdlPublishURL);
89
90 // Process the wsdl imports
