Spring Boot and Axis2 client runtime issue with Rampart

Question

I am trying to use Axis 2 client to work with a soap based web service. I use Rampart 1.7.1 for WSO Authentication. After I created the stub code using axis2tools I installed the jar files into maven repository and use them as dependency in my pom.xml file. Also I use spring boot for the rest of application which I use the generated libraries as soap client api.

Everything is good in dev environment I can work with web service. And also when I use

mvn spring-boot:run

it works fine and webservice communication is good from UI to Webservice and back(end to end).

when I use

java -jar target/fatjar.jar

When I send request to web service I receive the following error at console:

Please notice that it fails for:

...The rampart-1.7.1.jar module, which is not valid,...

I don't know why with maven launch it works but with java -jar throws exception.

Answer 1

According to Spring Boot documentation (Further Config section) in here I needed to add the rampart library to unpacked list in spring-boot-maven-plugin as follows:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <requiresUnpack>
                        <requiresUnpack>
                            <groupId>org.apache.rampart</groupId>
                            <artifactId>rampart</artifactId>
                        </requiresUnpack>
                    </requiresUnpack>
                </configuration>
</plugin>
