On the service.create(wsdlURL, QName) call I get (my client worked fine before I enabled basic authentication): | | | org.jboss.ws.metadata.wsdl.WSDLException: Cannot parse wsdlLocation: http://localhost:8080/foo?wsdl | | | To compile the client, my classpath includes the source to the client, the classes generated by wsconsume and the following: <path id="client.wsconsume.classpath"> | <fileset dir="${jboss.lib.dir}/endorsed"> | <include name="xercesImpl.jar"/> | </fileset> | <fileset dir="${jboss.client.lib.dir}"> | <include name="*.jar"/> | <exclude name="jaxws-rt.jar"/> | </fileset> | <fileset dir="${java.lib.dir}"> | <include name="tools.jar"/> | </fileset> | </path> where jboss.lib.dir = ${jboss.home}/lib | jboss.client.lib.dir = ${jboss.home}/client | java.lib.dir = ${java.home}/lib I got rid of axis and mail libraries which were being used in the old build. I'm not using Axis in the new project (at least not yet). I also no longer reference an in-build copy of jboss-j2ee.jar (though this is still referenced from the jboss.client.lib.dir) and javax.servlet.jar which were used in the old build (note that I inherited some of this so wasn't clear on why some of those were being used in the first place). I ran into your problem with not finding the WSDL location after switching to Basic Authentication. In order to get around this I don't try to retrieve the WSDL file from the server during the client build. I have the server side build generate the WSDL file for me using wsprovide, then the client side build reads that file instead of trying to retrieve the WSDL via a URL. My wsconsume looks like this now: <wsconsume | fork="true" | verbose="true" | destdir="${build.client.classes.dir}" | sourcedestdir="${build.client.dir}" | keep="true" | wsdl="${build.server.dir}/resources/SubscriberServicesService.wsdl"> | <!-- wsdl="http://127.0.0.1:8080/Crunch?wsdl"> --> | </wsconsume> My wsprovide looks like this: <wsprovide | fork="false" | keep="true" | destdir="${build.server.dir}/wsdl" | resourcedestdir="${build.server.dir}/resources" | sourcedestdir="${build.server.dir}/source" | genwsdl="true" | verbose="true" | sei="com.cei.crunch.server.ws.SubscriberServices.SubscriberServices"> | <classpath> | <pathelement path="${build.server.classes.dir}/server"/> | </classpath> | </wsprovide> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4119695#...
