Fixing JAXB LinkageError in JBoss with JDK 1.6

Struggled a bit to sort out the following issue which popped while trying to deploy a web service in Jboss booted with JDK 1.6

java.lang.LinkageError: JAXB 2.0 API is being loaded from the bootstrap classloader, but this RI (from jar:file:/liferay_portal/jboss-tomcat-4.2.3/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp3673jaxb-impl.jar!/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ModelBuilder.class) needs 2.1 API. Use the endorsed directory mechanism to place jaxb-api.jar in the bootstrap classloader. (See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl.ModelBuilder.(ModelBuilder.java:172) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.JAXBContextImpl.getTypeInfoSet(JAXBContextImpl.java:422) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.JAXBContextImpl.(JAXBContextImpl.java:286) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.ContextFactory.createContext(ContextFactory.java:139) at com.sun.xml.bind.api.JAXBRIContext.newInstance(JAXBRIContext.java:105)

To fix this need to copy the following jars from ${JBOSS_HOME}/client to ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib/endorsed:

* jaxb-api.jar
* jboss-jaxrpc.jar
* jboss-jaxws.jar
* jboss-jaxws-ext.jar (applies to 2.0.2 +)
* jboss-saaj.jar

Also if the following error occur when invoking the service .

12:50:28,718 ERROR [SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS] SOAP request exception
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: setProperty must be overridden by all subclasses of SOAPMessage
at javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage.setProperty(SOAPMessage.java:441)
at org.jboss.ws.core.soap.SOAPMessageImpl.(SOAPMessageImpl.java:67)
...

Copy the above jars plus the following from ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib to ${JBOSS_HOME}/lib/endorsed:

*log4j-boot.jar
*jboss-common.jar
*concurrent.jar
