Thanks for the response again. Well I had tried that.. in fact had tried several combinations of the URL Pattern but its all the same ! I wouldnt have thought that creating a simple web serivce would be so frustrating :-( Personally, I dont think there is anything wrong with the code, the code i have written is very basic and as shown on the JBoss site. I am just wondering if its anything to do with the JBoss server configuration itself. Do any JBoss specific files need to be modified?
