We want the web service to publish the user created WSDL instead of the JBOssWS generated WSDL. I followed the instructions as in this post viz. http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4031124#... However, I am now getting the following error when I try to deploy the war. 12:19:13,139 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/C:/sofadev/dev-env/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/flagstar/deploy/fsb-MortgageService.war org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Cannot create service endpoint; - nested throwable: (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal schema location map) at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException.rethrowAsDeploymentException(DeploymentException.java:53) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss42.DeployerInterceptor.create(DeployerInterceptor.java:83) at org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployerInterceptorSupport$XMBeanInterceptor.create(SubDeployerInterceptorSupport.java:180) at org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployerInterceptor.invoke(SubDeployerInterceptor.java:91) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy39.create(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.create(MainDeployer.java:969) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:818) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:782) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor55.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:155) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor.invoke(AbstractInterceptor.java:133) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.invoke(ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.java:142) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) at org.jboss.mx.util.MBeanProxyExt.invoke(MBeanProxyExt.java:210) at $Proxy8.deploy(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.deploy(URLDeploymentScanner.java:421) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.scan(URLDeploymentScanner.java:610) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.doScan(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:263) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.loop(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:274) at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.AbstractDeploymentScanner$ScannerThread.run(AbstractDeploymentScanner.java:225) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal schema location map at org.jboss.ws.tools.JavaToXSD.parseSchema(JavaToXSD.java:155) at org.jboss.ws.tools.wsdl.WSDL11Reader.processTypes(WSDL11Reader.java:278) at org.jboss.ws.tools.wsdl.WSDL11Reader.processDefinition(WSDL11Reader.java:165) at org.jboss.ws.tools.wsdl.WSDLDefinitionsFactory.parse(WSDLDefinitionsFactory.java:131) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.umdm.ServiceMetaData.getWsdlDefinitions(ServiceMetaData.java:313) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.buildWebServiceMetaData(JAXWSWebServiceMetaDataBuilder.java:139) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSServerMetaDataBuilder.setupProviderOrWebService(JAXWSServerMetaDataBuilder.java:49) at org.jboss.ws.metadata.builder.jaxws.JAXWSMetaDataBuilderJSE.buildMetaData(JAXWSMetaDataBuilderJSE.java:68) at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointDeployer.create(ServiceEndpointDeployer.java:90) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss42.DeployerInterceptor.createServiceEndpoint(DeployerInterceptor.java:127) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss42.DeployerInterceptorJSE.createServiceEndpoint(DeployerInterceptorJSE.java:132) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss42.DeployerInterceptor.create(DeployerInterceptor.java:78) ... 28 more The WSDL file does some imports of external schemas which in turn can import other schemas. The .wsdl file has been placed in WEB-INF/wsdl and the schema files have been copied to the same spot too. The relevant section in the .wsdl file is | <types> | <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/"> | <xsd:import namespace="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/BorrowerRequest/" | schemaLocation="BorrowerRequest.xsd"> | </xsd:import> | <xsd:import namespace="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/MortgageResponse/" | schemaLocation="MortgageResponse.xsd"> | </xsd:import> | <xsd:import namespace="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/InvalidBorrowerException/" | schemaLocation="InvalidBorrowerException.xsd"> | </xsd:import> | </xsd:schema> | </types> | My question is this: Is this the proper way to refer to external schemas when you want to publish your own WSDL or would you have to refer to them as schemaLocation="WEB-INF/wsdl/MortgageResponse.xsd" The example MortgageResponse.xsd file is (note the import) | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <schema targetNamespace="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/MortgageResponse" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:Q1="http://www.example.org/Mortgage" xmlns:mortgage="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/Mortgage" xmlns:mr="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/MortgageResponse"> | | <import schemaLocation="Mortgage.xsd" namespace="http://com.fsb.sofa/samples/services/mortgageservice/Mortgage"></import> | | | <complexType name="MortgageResponseType"> | <sequence> | <element name="mortgage" type="mortgage:MortgageType"></element> | <element name="borrowerFirstName" type="string"></element> | <element name="borrowerLastName" type="string"></element> | </sequence> | </complexType> | | <element name="MortgageResponse" type="mr:MortgageResponseType"></element> | </schema> | Any help in this matter is appreciated. If you need any additional information, I will be glad to provide it.
