java.lang.IllegalStateException: MASM0001 error encountered in WebLogic 12.2.1.3

Problem

The

java.lang.IllegalStateException: MASM0001: Default
configuration file [ jaxws-tubes-default.xml ] was not found

error occurs when you deploy EAR that is built with the JAX-WS webservice in WebLogic 12.2.1.3.

Solution

To resolve the error:

Create the metro-default.xml file in a temporary directory and add the following content.

<metro xmlns='http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/metro/config' version="1.0">
    <tubelines default="#default-metro-tubeline">
        <tubeline name="default-metro-tubeline">
            <client-side>
                <!--<tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.TerminalTubeFactory" />-->
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.HandlerTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.ValidationTubeFactory" />
                <!--<tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.MonitoringTubeFactory" />-->
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.MustUnderstandTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.AddressingTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.dump.MessageDumpingTubeFactory" />
                <!-- TODO: secrity tube(?) -->
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.BasicTransportTubeFactory" />
            </client-side>
            <endpoint-side>
                <!-- TODO: secrity tube(?) -->
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.dump.MessageDumpingTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.AddressingTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.MustUnderstandTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.MonitoringTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.HandlerTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.ValidationTubeFactory" />
                <tube-factory className="com.sun.xml.ws.assembler.jaxws.TerminalTubeFactory" />
            </endpoint-side>
        </tubeline>
    </tubelines>
</metro>

Copy the metro-default.xml file from the temporary directory to <Runtime>/extensions/webservices/descriptors/ folder.
Rebuild EAR with JAX-WS webservice.
