I have tried this with jboss 4.0.5 native and with jbossws 1.0.4. I have successfully used an annotated stateless ejb for web services with document / literal / bare configuration. I am now attempting to add a header to each web service request. Here is the class : @WebService(name = "test", targetNamespace = "http://com.test", serviceName = "test") @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use = SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE) @Stateless public class TestService { @WebMethod public void logout(@WebParam(name="header", header=true) String value, @WebParam(name="parameters", header=false) String request){ } @WebMethod public void logout2(@WebParam(name="header2", header=true) String value, @WebParam(name="test", header=false) String request){ } } Note that web service logout works fine. logout2 has problems. As I interpret the problem is with the messages The code generation always names the body element "parameters". So the only way to get it to work is to name the body element "parameters". Is there a work around for now> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986976#...
