Troubleshoot: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI), Web Service, and SOAP

This section provides debugging tips for resolving several Web services problems. If you do not see your problem, use the resources below to help you determine what might be causing problems when you deploy or run applications which use Web Services, UDDI or SOAP:

• A Java API XML-based remote procedure call Simple Object Access Protocol handler is unable to access EJB container resources.
  Symptom:
  A Java API XML-based remote procedure call (JAXRPC) Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) handler deployed on the server-side to an EJB-based Web service is unable to access the resources of the EJB container. A JAXRPC SOAP handler does not execute in the EJB container.
  Problem:
  A JAXRPC SOAP handler executes in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.3 Web container of a router-module. The router module directs the SOAP request to the target enterprise bean. The environment of the router module container is visible to the handler, while the environment of the EJB container is not visible. This lack of visibility might cause unexpected and possibly misleading results to handlers accessing the container environment.
  Response:
  J2EE 1.3 does not require the execution of Web services JAXRPC SOAP handlers in an EJB container. J2EE 1.4 requires handlers to execute in the context of the target EJB container.
