RE: ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem yields IllegalArgumentException

Good Morning Aaron

Can you download the latest Rampart Binaries from
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/rampart/download.html

These are the blessed binaries so you should not never see any errors or any NULL InputStream from any of Rampart*.mar
Please Download and install to webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/modules

Then you can use the admin tool to view the rampart module
and once you verified the rampart*mar module is valid
engage the rampart*.mar module to your Axis2 webapp

Please keep me apprised if you see any errors.

Thanks,
Martin Gainty

Subject: RE: ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem yields IllegalArgumentException

Hello, Martin – Thank you for the suggestion. I know, this is my problem, but my target environment is very restricted one and it’s windows XP sp3. I’ve used downloaded rampart modules on my winsdows 7 and they seem to work fine.  I can’t build natively on the target machine, where I cannot install any build tools, but I did so on my windows 7 machine. It appears to be an issue related to the target platform. I did follow the instructions you referenced. As I mentioned, I don’t seem to have the same issue on my development machine (unfortunately, no access to the web service from it). Thanks again, -a From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: RE: ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem yields IllegalArgumentException Good Afternoon Aaron

MG>it appears you dont have a valid rampart*.mar for your axis2 environment to use so it would be best to follow the instructions for build and deploy rampart at
MG>http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/rampart/developer-guide.html
MG>Once you have valid rampart and rahas mar to deploy copy both mars to axis2/WEB-INF/modules
MG>then use the admin tool to view the rampart*mar and rahas*.mar
MG>then follow the instructions for incorporating rahas and rampart modules available at
http://wso2.org/library/3190#Step_3._Engaging_Rampart_and_setting_authentication_information

Subject: RE: ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem yields IllegalArgumentExceptionI thought that the error I was getting was due to the second parameter being null, so I created an axis2.xml  and passes it as the second parameter. To my surprise, I’m still getting the same error. And if I use null for both parameters, I get the “Unable to engage module: rampart” when I try to load it. My client follows the article http://wso2.org/library/3190#Step_3._Engaging_Rampart_and_setting_authentication_information. Any suggestions, please?

Subject: ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem yields IllegalArgumentException Hello, I’m using Axis2 1.6.2 with Rampart 1.6.2. My client attempts to create the ConfigurationContext by calling  File repoPath = new File(“axis2-1.6.1/repository”)ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(repoPath.getAbsolutePath(), null); And I’m getting the IllegalArgumentException: Input cannot be null Why is that? According to what I read, “AxisConfiguration will be created using default axis2.xml and services and modules will be created and loaded from the repository”. BTW, modules are in ./ axis2-1.6.1/repository/modules. TIA, -a
