Hi there,

We have a server-side  http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/xml/ws/handler/LogicalHandler.html javax.xml.ws.handler.LogicalHandler in which we grab a URI reference to the WSDL using

URI wsdlURI = (URI)messageContext.get(MessageContext.WSDL_DESCRIPTION);


The associated web service is secured using standard servlet security mechanisms.

The webservice itself declares a wsdlLocation:

@WebService(serviceName = "AutoResponseService",
            portName = "AutoResponseServicePort",
            endpointInterface = "com.somecompany.ws.autoresponse.AutoResponseService",
            wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/AutoResponse.wsdl",
            targetNamespace = "http://ws.somcompany.com/AutoResponseService")
@HandlerChain(file = "HandlerConfig.xml")
public class AutoResponseServiceImpl implements AutoResponseService {
...
}



It seems that the JBossWS implementation returns an external http based URI to the WSDL *which needs to be authenticated* in order to be read.

Other JAX-WS implementations do not do this, but in fact return a URI to the WSDL provided by the wsdlLocation attribute of the @WebService as shown above. This can safely be read without the need for (superfluous) authentication.

How can we portably get access to the WSDL in a handler without the need to authenticate?

Thanks
