I was able to solve it by editing the standalone-full.xml {code:xml} <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:webservices:1.1">     <modify-wsdl-address>true</modify-wsdl-address>     <wsdl-host>192.168.178.121</wsdl-host>     <endpoint-config name="Standard-Endpoint-Config"/>     <endpoint-config name="Recording-Endpoint-Config">         <pre-handler-chain name="recording-handlers" protocol-bindings="##SOAP11_HTTP ##SOAP11_HTTP_MTOM ##SOAP12_HTTP ##SOAP12_HTTP_MTOM">             <handler name="RecordingHandler" class="org.jboss.ws.common.invocation.RecordingServerHandler"/>         </pre-handler-chain>     </endpoint-config> </subsystem> {code:xml} This way, the above mentioned part of the wsdl was changed to this: {code:xml} <wsdl:service name="AppointmentFacadeService">     <wsdl:port binding="tns:AppointmentFacadeServiceSoapBinding" name="AppointmentFacadePort">         <soap:address location=" http://192.168.178.121:8080/wsServe/AppointmentFacade http://192.168.178.121:8080/wsServe/AppointmentFacade"/>     </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> {code:xml} And now my java se client addresses the correct service, though it picked the correct url to retrieve the wsdl. I still got two questions left: 1. Why was SoapUI able to call the correct service? I know, I had to edit the interface endpoint by changing the url. But which method can I use to change it manually on client side in the java code? 2. It seems to be a very bad style to hardcode the machine's url into the configuration file in order to get the expected wsdl created. Is there a constant I can use like "{jboss-external-ipv4-address}"?
