My first question is why you replaced JBossWS Native, the one that is installed by default, with the JBoss Metro implementation? There is no real need to do this. I'm sure it should work, but at this point I think you're adding complexity you don't need. The only real issue I found with the webservice is that you repleced org.springframework.web.context.support.SpringBeanAutowiringSupport by org.springframework.ejb.interceptor.SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor. As the class name SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor implies, it is intended to work in an EJB context, not in a web context. Other than some typos here and there the webservice works on a standard JBoss 5.1.0.GA with the three snowdrop jars copied to  ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/lib. I've include the zip with my fixes. The deployment now looks like this: 14:19:41,197 INFO  [DefaultEndpointRegistry] register: jboss.ws:context=autowiring_war,endpoint=autowiring-webservice 14:19:41,203 INFO  [WebMetaDataModifierImpl] Ignore servlet: my.pkg.AutowiringServlet 14:19:41,257 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/autowiring_war 14:19:41,326 INFO  [[/autowiring_war]] Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext 14:19:41,326 INFO  [ContextLoader] Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started 14:19:41,364 INFO  [ClassPathXmlApplicationContext] Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@253fd92e: display name [org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@253fd92e]; startup date [Sun Apr 11 14:19:41 CEST 2010]; root of context hierarchy 14:19:41,438 INFO  [XmlBeanDefinitionReader] Loading XML bean definitions from URL [vfszip:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/autowiring_ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear/beanRefContext.xml] 14:19:41,495 INFO  [ClassPathXmlApplicationContext] Bean factory for application context [org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@253fd92e]: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@c0e0960 14:19:41,514 INFO  [DefaultListableBeanFactory] Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@c0e0960: defining beans [ear.context]; root of factory hierarchy 14:19:41,571 INFO  [VFSClassPathXmlApplicationContext] Refreshing org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSClassPathXmlApplicationContext@6651b294: display name [org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSClassPathXmlApplicationContext@6651b294]; startup date [Sun Apr 11 14:19:41 CEST 2010]; root of context hierarchy 14:19:41,573 INFO  [XmlBeanDefinitionReader] Loading XML bean definitions from ZipEntryHandler(a)377437762[path=autowiring_ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear/context.xml context=file:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ real=file:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/autowiring_ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear/context.xml] 14:19:41,588 INFO  [VFSClassPathXmlApplicationContext] Bean factory for application context [org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSClassPathXmlApplicationContext@6651b294]: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@3f3499ef 14:19:41,590 INFO  [DefaultListableBeanFactory] Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@3f3499ef: defining beans [myService]; root of factory hierarchy 14:19:41,602 INFO  [VFSXmlWebApplicationContext] Refreshing org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSXmlWebApplicationContext@214ef1ea: display name [Root WebApplicationContext]; startup date [Sun Apr 11 14:19:41 CEST 2010]; parent: ear.context 14:19:41,603 INFO  [XmlBeanDefinitionReader] Loading XML bean definitions from FileHandler(a)529563278[path=WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml context=file:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/tmp/a002s-x8x9a6-g7vtmr79-1-g7vtnzfi-9r/autowiring_war-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war/ real=file:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/tmp/a002s-x8x9a6-g7vtmr79-1-g7vtnzfi-9r/autowiring_war-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war/WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml] 14:19:41,615 INFO  [VFSXmlWebApplicationContext] Bean factory for application context [org.jboss.spring.vfs.context.VFSXmlWebApplicationContext@214ef1ea]: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@165fb09d 14:19:41,628 INFO  [DefaultListableBeanFactory] Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@165fb09d: defining beans []; parent: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@3f3499ef 14:19:41,628 INFO  [ContextLoader] Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 302 ms 14:19:43,595 INFO  [WSDLFilePublisher] WSDL published to: file:/Users/martinborgman/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/wsdl/autowiring_ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear/autowiring_war-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war/AutowiringWebService4718254481898707626.wsdl Kind regards, Martin -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/536772#536772] Start a new discussion in Spring Integration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
