Web service invocations have been done by locating the ejb container and executing #localInvoke(...) on it. We used to locate the container by object name: | kernel.getInstalledContext( objectName.getCanonicalName() ) | With the latest codebase I see that the objectname for a simple jar deployment changed from jboss.j2ee:name=Ejb3WSEndpointImpl,service=EJB3,jar=webservices-ejb3.jar to jboss.j2ee:ear=webservices-ejb3.jar,jar=webservices-ejb3.jar,name=Ejb3WSEndpointImpl,service=EJB3 which used to be the case when an ejb.jar was deployed inside an ear. I am currently wondering - why that changed (bug?) - and if there is better way to do this at all. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4146911#...
