I am using JBoss 4.0.4 and JBossWS 1.0.2 on an HP-UX system. I am getting an exception on a simple web service. The web service works when JBoss is started but if I redeploy the application or restart JBoss the web service no longer works. Below is the web service code: package com.company.department.ws; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding; @WebService @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) public class TestWebService { @WebMethod public String hello(String name) { return "Hello "+name+"!"; } } Below is the web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd"> <!-- The Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <!-- Servlets --> <servlet-name>TestWebService</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.company.department.ws.TestWebService</servlet-class> <!-- Servlet Mappings --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>TestWebService</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/webservice/TestWebService</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> When JBoss starts it rewrites the web.xml to the below: <web-app version='2.4' xmlns='http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:schemaLocation='http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd'> <!-- The Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <!-- Servlets --> <servlet-name>TestWebService</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss.JBossServiceEndpointServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>ServiceEndpointImpl</param-name> <param-value>com.company.department.ws.TestWebService</param-value> </init-param> <servlet-name>DataEnhancement</servlet-name> <!-- Servlet Mappings --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>TestWebService</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/webservice/TestWebService</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> The exception that I am getting after I restart JBoss or redeploy the web app is: 12:11:42,155 ERROR [[TestWebService]] Servlet.service() for servlet TestWebService threw exception org.jboss.ws.WSException: Cannot obtain endpoint for: jboss.ws:context=miande,endpoint=TestWebService at org.jboss.ws.server.StandardEndpointServlet.initServiceEndpoint(StandardEndpointServlet.java:162) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss.JBossServiceEndpointServlet.initServiceEndpoint(JBossServiceEndpointServlet.java:49) at org.jboss.ws.server.StandardEndpointServlet.service(StandardEndpointServlet.java:74) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:213) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:178) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:74) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:126) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) at org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler.invoke(JkCoyoteHandler.java:199) at org.apache.jk.common.HandlerRequest.invoke(HandlerRequest.java:282) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.invoke(ChannelSocket.java:754) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.processConnection(ChannelSocket.java:684) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket$SocketConnection.runIt(ChannelSocket.java:876) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) The libraries that I have in my ../WEB-INF/lib directory is: ../WEB-INF/lib/jbossws-client.jar Some questions I have is: 1.) Does my application need to reference more JBoss .jar files? Is this why I get the error? 2.) Is this a bug in JBossWS 1.0.2? 3.) Is there a work around? For example, when I resart JBoss or redeploy the application do I need to ALWAYS copy the web.xml.org file over web.xml? 4.) What are my options? Thank you guys for the help.
