It looks the ProviderImpl has been moved to pacakge "com\sun\xml\ws\spi" from "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi", but the Provider class is still referring in the old package?

which ProviderImpl from which version of which product? com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl or com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl?

I am using jaxws 2.3.0. It gave me "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl" not found. When I check the jar, I found a "ProviderImpl" under ""com.sun.xml.ws.spi" in jaxws-rt.jar. But when debug into Provider (under javax.xml.ws.spi, in jaxws-api.jar), it looks the decompiled class indicates its fallback Provider is "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl". Thus the question/issue. I have not gotten the source code of these yet.

[lukasj]

the 'internal' one is in the jdk - hence my question wrt 'product' and its explicit version. Can you share your classpath/modulepath/endorsed setup (basically command you use to launch java) as well as jdk version. Is this on Java SE or within some server? Are you using just jaxws-ri (jaxws-rt.jar) or metro (webservices-rt.jar)?

[FuminZhou]

Oh. Sorry for my omission. I am looking into java 11/java9, which does not have the jdk "internal" ProviderImpl anymore, and I thought the jaxws 2.30 is itself self contained with its Provider.

Upon further debugging, it looks at least there is a workaround: the FactoryFinder used by the Provider could find a Provider specified by a jaxws.properties. After I point it to the "com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl" I am able to move forward. -Would we say the jaxws-ri 2.3.0 by itself does not appear to work out of the box for java 11?

(I thought the "com.sun.xml.ws.spi.ProviderImpl" was meant to replace the "com.sun.xml.internal" one - with jaxws being externalized from java 11, removing the "internal" kind of make sense.)

[lukasj]

the thing is that 2.3.0 has been released before jdk9 went final and jdk11 is still not yet final

[FuminZhou]

Got it - and thanks for your patience. There is another workaround which is to specify the Provider implementation using JVM properties. I thought this is an issue with my own presumption. -But worth to keep this in consideration for future development/release of jaxws?
