jax-ws-catalog.xml not being used with @WebServiceRef() annotation in JBoss AS 7.1.0.Beta1 "Tesla" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3088 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3088 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1b Environment: JBoss AS 7.1.0.Beta1 "Tesla" Fedora 15 (2.6.40.6-0.fc15.i686) java version "1.6.0_27" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode) Reporter: Fred Welland Assignee: Jim Ma Fix For: 7.1.0.CR1 Attachments: HelloWSWorld.jar, WebHello.war @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://my.nowhereland.com/HelloWSWorld/Hello/Hello?wsdl") always try to resolve the host (my.nowhereland.com) even if there is a jax-ws-catalog.xml file that maps the location url to a path in the WAR. Here is thread detailing the issue: http://community.jboss.org/message/637964 The 2 packages detail are the parts to reproduce the problem (source code in jar/war). HelloWSWorld.jar: Exceedingly simple SLSB jar with a WS WebHello.war: JSF Web App that is simple client to the above WS ejb jar. Deployed to 'standalone' and just used the web console to deploy the modules. The same 2 products can be deployed to Glassfish 3.1.1. GF resolves the @WebServiceAnnotation() annotation and seems happy with using the mappings in the jax-ws-catalog.xml. The @PostConstruct() method can then re-assign ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY for WS invocation. In JBOSS as 7.1.0beta1 the following (bottom part of the stack trace) is tossed while the annotation is being processed: javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'http://my.nowhereland.com/HelloWSWorld/Hello/Hello?wsdl'.: java.net.UnknownHostException: my.nowhereland.com at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.getDocument(Unknown Source) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.readWSDL(Unknown Source) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.readWSDL(Unknown Source) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl.loadDefinition(WSDLManagerImpl.java:239) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl.getDefinition(WSDLManagerImpl.java:186) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceFactory.<init>(WSDLServiceFactory.java:92) ... 76 more Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: my.nowhereland.com Of course the @PostContruct never gets the opportunity to execute and change the ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY. I have found that an annotation like: @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "/WEB-INF/wsdl/Hello.wsdl") seems to make JBoss happy and the @PostContruct fires and things are OK. However, I don't know if this will work in GF. My objectives are: *to have our WAR work on both GF and JBOSS (and maybe others) *war code refers to our services via canonical service location *provide jax-ws-catalog mappings for local/in-war wsdl access *allow WAR code to override the canonical locations when they are in 'DEV-Mode' or detect some other run-time discriminator used to change the service location.
