Spring-boot 2.7.0 with jax-ws 1.9 WSServletContextListener Unable to start embedded Tomcat - spring-boot

Question

What do I do wrong with JAX-WS and SPRING-BOOT?
I use jaxws-spring v1.9, spring-boot-starter-parent v2.7.0.
I don`t have web.xml.
I have #WebService() #SOAPBinding()
My problem is org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerException: Unable to start embedded Tomcat
but file is in /src/main/resource/WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml
2022-08-04 16:47:58.026 ERROR 20076 --- [ main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application run failed

It happens when I try to use
JaxWsListener
import javax.servlet.ServletContextAttributeEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextAttributeListener;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebListener;
import com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener;
#WebListener
public class JaxWsListener implements ServletContextAttributeListener, ServletContextListener {
private final WSServletContextListener listener;
public JaxWsListener() {
this.listener = new WSServletContextListener();
}
#Override
public void attributeAdded(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeAdded(event);
}
#Override
public void attributeRemoved(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeRemoved(event);
}
#Override
public void attributeReplaced(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeReplaced(event);
}
#Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
listener.contextInitialized(sce);
}
#Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
listener.contextDestroyed(sce);
}
}
without this Listener spring-boot (tomcat) started well.
for JAX-WS as well I use this class :
JaxWsServlet
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet;
import lombok.extern.log4j.Log4j2;
#Log4j2
#WebServlet(name = "JaxWsServlet", urlPatterns = JaxWsServlet.URL_PATTERN, loadOnStartup = 1)
public class JaxWsServlet extends WSServlet {
public static final String URL_PATTERN = "/jaxws";
public JaxWsServlet() {
LOG.debug("CREATE {}", this.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
#Override
public void init(ServletConfig servletConfig) throws ServletException {
super.init(servletConfig);
LOG.debug("JAX-WS Init");
}
#Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException {
super.doPost(request, response);
LOG.debug("JAX-WS DoPost");
}
#Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException {
super.doGet(request, response);
LOG.debug("JAX-WS DoGet");
}
}
as well I have /WEB-INF/soap-jaxws.xml
<endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime"
version="2.0">
<endpoint name="SoapService"
implementation="com.ws.endpoint.SoapService"
url-pattern="/ws/call1" />
<endpoint name="SoapService2"
implementation="com.ws.endpoint.SoapService2"
url-pattern="/ws/call2" />
</endpoints>
this file parsed in the WSServletContextListener - it is hard coded there.

I solved this issue by putting /WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml into **/srv/main/resources/META-INF/resources/**WEB-INF/sun-jaxrs.xml
this helped me
It is enough to have in your spring-boot application:
/WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml - BCS it is HARDCODED in the jax-ws
#WebService
#WebListener
spring-boot-starter-parent:2.7.0
org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons.spring:jaxws-spring:1.9 - with exclusions
#Service
#WebService(
name = "SoapService",
endpointInterface = "com.ws.service.SoapService")
#SOAPBinding(parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
public class SoapService
implements ISoapService { ....
and #WebListener (look at it above)
#WebListener
public class JaxWsListener implements ServletContextAttributeListener, ServletContextListener {
private final WSServletContextListener listener;
........
You do not need #WebServlet
pom.xml:
