I managed to create a webservice in a java desktop application using Apache CXF. However, I need it to work on an Android device.
The problem is that the java.ws package java.ws missing from Android. I copied all the necessary jar with java.ws classes to the libs folder of the Android project, but while dexing (creating an application in the IDE) I have the following errors:
Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] trouble processing "javax/xml/bind/Binder.class": Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*) Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] when not building a core library. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] in your application project, when using an IDE (such as Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] going on. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] namespace, the source of which you may have taken, for example, Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] from a non-Android virtual machine project. This will most Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] It is also often of questionable legality. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] building an application, then be forewarned that your application Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] system. You will be to blame for this problem. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] conflict with core system classes. JarJar is a tool that may help Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] you in this endeavor. If you find that you cannot do this, then Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation. Error:Android Pre Dex: [android-ws-combine.jar] 1 error; aborting
How can i do this? Any other way / approach to exporting webservice to Android?
PS. android-ws-combination.jar has been downloaded here .
SFC. In fact, I don’t think that any desktop packages like javax.ws are really used except for annotations. I think webservice implementation classes are fully included in CXF.
