When I try this from code deployed within the server, both using cxf and native, it results in an exception like: 12:14:48,551 ERROR [STDERR] javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Port HelloWorldPort not found. 12:14:48,552 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.ServiceImpl.getJaxwsEndpoint(ServiceImpl.java:258) 12:14:48,552 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.ServiceImpl.createDispatch(ServiceImpl.java:616) 12:14:48,552 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.ServiceImpl.createDispatch(ServiceImpl.java:641) 12:14:48,552 ERROR [STDERR]     at javax.xml.ws.Service.createDispatch(Service.java:444) However when I run the same code in a client app, it works fine - the Dispatch instance is returned. The code fragment I use is:      try {             URL wsdlUrl=WSClient.class.getClassLoader().getResource("HelloWorldWS.wsdl");                         System.out.println("WSDL="+wsdlUrl);                         QName serviceName=QName.valueOf("{http://simple_invoke/helloworld}HelloWorldWSService");                         Service service = Service.create(wsdlUrl, serviceName);               String text="<EndpointReference xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing\">"+                     "<Address>http://localhost:8080/Quickstart_bpel_simple_invoke/HelloWorldWS</Address>"+                     "<ReferenceParameters/>"+                     "<Metadata>"+                         "<wsam:ServiceName xmlns:wsam=\"http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata\" "+                             " xmlns:srv=\"http://simple_invoke/helloworld\" EndpointName=\"HelloWorldPort\">srv:HelloWorldWSService</wsam:ServiceName>"+                     "</Metadata>"+                     "</EndpointReference>";                 javax.xml.ws.EndpointReference epr=                 javax.xml.ws.wsaddressing.W3CEndpointReference.readFrom(new StreamSource(                         new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(text.getBytes())));                         Dispatch dispatcher = service.createDispatch(epr, SOAPMessage.class,                         Service.Mode.MESSAGE, new javax.xml.ws.soap.AddressingFeature());                         System.out.println("DISPATCHER="+dispatcher);                     } catch(Exception e) {             e.printStackTrace();         } Not sure if the problem is due to the way that the port (or endpoint name) in EPR is being handled. In WS-Addressing meta spec, endpoint name is an NCName attribute on the ServiceName element. However the ServiceMetaData in jbossws-native I believe is expecting it to be a QName with namespace of the service name. This is possibly why it is not locating the port? I am trying to override the web service address (URL) in the WSDL, and it appears the Service/Dispatch approach only allows WS-Addressing to be used for this. If there is another means of overriding the URL, then I would also be interested in trying that.
