Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706) Java: 1.8.0; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b70 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0-b132 System: Mac OS X version 10.8.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) This issues can be reproduced when trying to complete the following tutorials using JDK8: https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/client.html https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/jax-ws.html The following issues look to be related: #241456 and #243086 Seems like the IDE is unable to parse the wsdl file when creating a web service client or using the wizard to test a web service in a web application. However, the IDE seems to work fine when creating a client in a Java application, for example here: https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/client.html#asynch The following output is written to the Output window: java.lang.AssertionError: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: jar:file:/Applications/NetBeans/glassfish-4.0/glassfish/modules/jaxb-osgi.jar!/com/sun/tools/xjc/reader/xmlschema/bindinfo/binding.xsd; lineNumber: 52; columnNumber: 88; schema_reference: Failed to read schema document 'xjc.xsd', because 'file' access is not allowed due to restriction set by the accessExternalSchema property.
The default behavior in the IDE is to restrict access to an external schema. The restriction breaks the functionality for some web service client wizards. I created an FAQ that describes how to enable access so that the wizards work. http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWSDLExternalSchema It would be nice if there was someway to make the default enabled in the IDE or to enable it without manually modifying the conf file. Changing this issue to an enhancement request.
*** Bug 244379 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
While I appreciate someone taking the time to make a FAQ for this (well done!) it should be noted that the solution described in the FAQ will only work for those that use Ant-based projects. As far as I know Maven doesn't inherit system properties from the IDE so it doesn't help setting this property in the IDE's config file. For Maven I see two alternative solutions: Either set the relevant system property in Tools --> Options --> Java --> Maven --> Execution --> "Global Execution Options" or do it project-by-project in your pom.xml as described in https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241570#c2. Additional info: The problem is not related to JDK8 per se but to JAXP 1.5 which started being included with JDK7u40.
Thanks for the update for Maven. I updated the FAQ to incorporate your comments and add some information regarding Maven.
Is it possible to have Netbeans insert these vmArgs when it includes this plugin ? If I use the "Webservice from WSDL..." wizard in Java 8, it breaks the process mid way and the webservice impl class is left empty. Updating the POM makes maven build successfully, but the impl class is still left empty.
