when the jwsdp is used on top of the J2EE RI version 1.3.1, the petstore does not work properly. For instance, when an order is submitted we get exceptions, probably due to the petstore using JAXP to manipulate xml docs. If I remove xalan.jar provided as part of JWSDP then it seems to work. But of course, not all of jax* will work without xalan.
We need to ensure that the petstore and other applications can run on the j2ee RI 1.3.1 plus JWSDP.

I added this from an email Anne Hendry forwarded to me

Just to let you know. The bug I filed last week on webservices pack is
still occurring. I installed latest promoted build of webservice pack on
j2ee1.3.1, and then installed petstore. It still does not work. Below is
a description. If any questions tomorrow, I will be working 1/2 day
tomorrow so am available before lunch but probably will be gone after
that. Ramesh, Thierry, Edwin G., and I all looked at the bug. This bug
is mostly a problem from blueprint's perspective since we plan to
release a web service app that uses this J2EE1.3.1 RI + WSDPK as our
"platform" so we are dependent. Also, since we want to start developing
the app, we need the "platform" to let us tinker to meet our release. So
the bug may not hurt us today, but may be a blocker soon. Other
developers may face similiar problems, so it would be nice to make the
webservice pack + j2ee a bit more stable and portable. Since this is not
a CTS tested "platform", I think it would be good to get the petstore
used as pre-release test in the future. I am guessing that some testing
is done and the webservices sample apps are tested so maybe the petstore
can be tested also. Hope that helps.
Below is a report of the problem....
Sorry for the bad news :-)

                                   MORE DETAILS ABOUT BUG...
My system is
     -windows 2000
     -J2ee1.3.1 downloaded from the public website a few days ago
     -jdk 1.4 downloaded from the public website a few days ago(i also
ran it prevoisly on jdk 1.3.1 and it also got an error)
     -webservice pack promoted build #33
    -I ran the setup script to install the webservice pack on the J2ee
RI.
    -the java petstore 1.3._01 downloaded from the public website a few
days ago
     -ALL were Uninstalled and then fresh installations done.

 This is the error I get. When I shop for some pets, place them in cart,
sign on, then finally click to place and commit the order, I get a stack
trace at j2ee terminal window. It happens when the code tries to use
JAXP to get an xml version of the Purchase Order and calls PO.toXML
since this code uses our xml utility classes to do the work. You can see
the location of the error below.

WORKAROUNDS
Previous Errors:
In the webservice pack downloaded from the web last week, I got same
type of error. It had manual instructions for installing webservice pack
on RI. But if I took the xalan.jar that came with the webservice pack
out of the j2ee instruction steps, it was better. So the bug seemed to
be a conflict with something in the xalan.jar from the webservice pack
that I was instructed to stick in the j2ee RI.
Current situation: If remove endorsed.jar from classpath of setenv.bat
and j2ee.bat of j2ee ri(these scripts added the endorsed.jar when the
webservice pack is installed) then petstore WILL work However, the
webservice pack examples might not work without this jar?

PETSTORE CODE SNIPPET from
com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.xmldocuments.XMLDocumentUtils.java

Below is the code that the petstore calls. It seems ok. I spoke with
Ramesh, Thierry, and Edwin G. and everyone seemed to think the petstore
code was valid, jsut standard JAXP stuff. See below for reference.
 public static void toXML(Document document, String dtdPublicId, String
dtdSystemId, StreamResult result)
    throws XMLDocumentException {
      toXML(document, dtdPublicId, dtdSystemId, DEFAULT_ENCODING,
result);
      return;
  }

  public static void toXML(Document document, String dtdPublicId, String
dtdSystemId, String encoding, StreamResult result)
    throws XMLDocumentException {
      try {
        TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
        if (dtdSystemId != null) {
          transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,
dtdSystemId);
        }
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_PUBLIC,
dtdPublicId);
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, encoding);
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
        transformer.transform(new DOMSource(document), result);
      } catch (Exception exception) {
        exception.printStackTrace(System.err);
        throw new XMLDocumentException(exception);
      }
      return;
  }
