WebLogic Axis known issue

WebLogic 8.1.5.0 is shipped with an antiquated version of saaj.jar, Web services that are deployed on an Axis framework are known to fail due to this incompatibility. As a work around, an administrator can add a weblogic.xml deployment descriptor in the WEB-INF directory, this will set the flag <prefer-web-inf-classes> to true and cause WebLogic's saaj.jar to be overridden with the version bundled in the RPM Web services WAR file.

The following is an example of weblogic.xml:

<weblogic-web-app>
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>true>
</container-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>

This file must be deployed in the following directory: [rpm_web_services_directory]/WEB-INF
