Problem with NetBeans Web Service Client when xercesImpl.jar is on classpath

I am unable to create a Web Service Client in my NetBeans Web Application when xercesImpl.jar is included as a library.

Using NetBeans 6.9 and GlassFish 3.0.1:

1.) Create new Web Application

2.) Create a new Web Service

3.) Add a new operation to the created web service (just let it return null - the implementation isn't important)

4.) Deploy web service to GlassFish (works fine)

5.) Add xercesImpl.jar (I'm using version 2.9.1) as a library to the web service (I need xerces for a third-party library that I'm using)

6.) Stop Glassfish.

7.) Clean and Build the project.

8.) Run the project. Test that the Web Service still works (it does).

9.) Create a new Web Service Client. Point it at a WSDL (I'm using http://www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl just as a test).

10.) Stop Glassfish.

11.) Clean and Build the project.

Error message is shown:

C:\NetBeansProjects\WSTest\nbproject\jaxws-build.xml:43: Error starting wsimport: BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

Line 43 is:

<wsimport sourcedestdir="${build.generated.dir}/jax-wsCache/CurrencyConvertor" 
destdir="${build.generated.dir}/jax-wsCache/CurrencyConvertor" wsdl=
"${basedir}/${conf-dir}xml-resources/web-service-references/
CurrencyConvertor/wsdl/www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx.wsdl"
catalog="catalog.xml" extension="true" verbose="true"
wsdlLocation="http://www.webservicex.com/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl" 
xnocompile="true" xendorsed="true">

12.) Restart NetBeans.

13.) Clean and Build the project. (The build now works)

14.) Run the project. GlassFish starts up fine except for this one-line error message:

SEVERE: Error in resolving the catalog

15.) Loading the Web Service Tester page produces the following exception in the GlassFish log:

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Note that it only happens after I create a new Web Service Client/Reference. Even if someone could suggest which project I should be creating a bug against (i.e. is it a NetBeans fault? A Glassfish fault? A JAX-WS fault? etc.), that would be good.

Well I've finally found a solution:

http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=59445

What I needed to do was to remove these files from the xercesImpl.jar file:

META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory

When the modified JAR file is included in my project it no longer causes any issues.

If anyone has a neater solution, please let me know.

I found the solution for my problem which is similar with yours.

I added inside my jar the following file:

META-INF/services/org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration

The content of this file is just :

org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration

Regards.
