As I initially posted, it appeared to be a problem within the client since I don't get this exception when I call it using another tool. When I first coded the java client I coded the service instantiation as the following:     Service service = MyService_Service.create(new URL(" http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService"), new QName(" http://myws.com/ http://myws.com/";, "MyService")); This causes the java client to get the the wsdl at http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService which it is not the right location (?wsdl is missing). Since it fails, it then tries http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService?wsdl http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService?wsdl and succeeds as expected however we can see the previous error log on the server. So when you code the client, pass the right and expected parameters as they´re specified. The "create" signature clearly states "wsdlDocumentLocation" so I should just have placed the right wsdl location when instantiating the service by using the wsdl parameter:     Service service = MyService_Service.create(new URL(" http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService http://localhost:8080/myApp/soap/MyService*?wsdl*"), new QName(" http://myws.com/ http://myws.com/";, "MyService")); Hope this helps other guys out there! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/827380#827380] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
