[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - Re: JBMETA-44, ws annotation processing for references

Hi, I'm looking at the JBWS-2171 failure too (and the related issue). Still have to figure out what changed from AS500Beta4 in the behavior we had about service-interface null or not null. In the mean time, just two considerations regarding JBWS-2171: - it seems to me the @WebServiceRef / @WebServiceRefs annotations on class (type target) are not processed since the WebServiceRef processor is called on field annotations only - having the serviceRef.getAnnotatedElement() != null prevents the code throwing the "<service-interface> cannot be null" exception from being executed, since the check that lead to that exception is performed when looking for the type of service ref (JAXWS or JAXRPC) and of course having an annotated element implies JAXWS. This just to say that error might also be misleading. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4157964#...
