When deploying a webservice as EJB3 stateless session bean, I get 'Target container name not set' in 'JAXWSDeployerHookEJB3.createDeployment'. The webservice looks as follows: @Stateless@WebService(name = "SilentPrint", targetNamespace = "http://localhost:8080/silentprint", serviceName = "SilentPrintService")** *public* *class SilentPrintServer {**     @WebMethod*** *     public String sayHelloTo(String name) {*** *          return "Hello " + name;*** *     }* *}* When deploying to JBoss6M3 it works. When deploying to JBoss5.1.0GA it does not work and I get 'Target container name not set'. I tried on JBoss5.1.0GA 'native', which means the original JBoss5.1.0GA download. I also tried to download the newest JBoss-WS (jbossws-native-3.3.1.GA) and installed it by using 'ant deploy-jboss510'. In both ways, I get the same error: Caused by:Java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Target container name not setat org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss50.deployer.JAXWSDeployerHookEJB3.createDeployment(JAXWSDeployerHookEJB3.java:87) at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss50.deployer.ArchiveDeployerHook.deploy(ArchiveDeployerHook.java:71)at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss50.deployer.AbstractWebServiceDeployer.internalDeploy(AbstractWebServiceDeployer.java:60) at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss50.deployer.WebServiceDeployerEJB.internalDeploy(WebServiceDeployerEJB.java:113)at org.jboss.deployers.spi.deployer.helpers.AbstractRealDeployer.deploy(AbstractRealDeployer.java:50) at org.jboss.deployers.plugins.deployers.DeployerWrapper.deploy(DeployerWrapper.java:171)... 30 more 08:36:58,088 ERROR [ProfileServiceBootstrap] Failed to load profile: Summary of incomplete deployments (SEE PREVIOUS ERRORS FOR DETAILS): DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR: Deployment "vfszip:/C:/Java/jboss/server/default/deploy/SilentPrintServer.ear/" is in error due to the following reason(s): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Target container name not set I am using jre6, so I also copied the 4 jaxws-native libraries to JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed, I also downloaded JBoss5.1.0GA-jdk6, no success. Any help or hint would be very much appreciated. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/548880#548880] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
