The code compiles fine and no errors are reported while deploying in JBoss but when I try to load the wsdl I get an error message stating the class isn't a servlet. The code for the provider itself: package org.raits;   import java.io.StringWriter; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.xml.transform.Source; import javax.xml.transform.Transformer; import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory; import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult; import javax.xml.ws.Provider; import javax.xml.ws.ServiceMode; import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceProvider;     @WebServiceProvider(wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/Test.wsdl") @ServiceMode(value=javax.xml.ws.Service.Mode.MESSAGE) public class TestService implements Provider<Source>{         @Override     public Source invoke(Source request) {         try{             StringWriter requestXmlWriter = new StringWriter();             Transformer trans = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();             trans.transform(request, new StreamResult(requestXmlWriter));             System.out.println(requestXmlWriter.toString());         }catch(Exception e){             e.printStackTrace();         }         return null;     } } And I'm mapping it my web.xml file as follows: <servlet>     <servlet-name>TestService</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>         org.raits.TestService     </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>TestService</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>/TestService/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> I'm also using a fairly old JBoss build (Release ID: JBoss [Zion] 4.0.4.GA (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_4_GA date=200605151000)), which I can't upgrade due to the rest of the system tied into it. A regular @WebService worked just fine using this method, am I missing something in the setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
