[jbossws-users] [JBoss Web Services Users] - webserviceref annotation does not instantiate service object

Hello, I am using: JBossAS5.1.0 on Windows Server 2003 JBossWS Metro 3.2.0 I have created a web service client that can be created and used with this code: Ap009MService service = new Ap009MService(); However, it cannot be created with this code: @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://hostname.com:8080/ServicesPool/Ap009MService?wsdl") private Ap009MService service; I am not getting any errors in the code (except an NPE when I try to access methods of the null service object). I cannot find a reason for this documented anywhere. Does anyone know the best way to cause JBossWS(metro or cxf) to instantiate a web service reference automatically? Will this @WebServiceRef annotation work at all under JBossAS-5.1.0+JBossWSMetro-3.2.0? Thanks for any help!
