I exposed a stateless EJB3.0 as a web service as per JAX-WS specification. I deployed the web service on JBOSS 4.2.2 Application server which created the corresponding WSDL file successfully .I can see the produced WSDL file for the deployed Web service. I tried to consume the deployed web service from a java client using following steps :- String url="http://dlhlx09.dlh.st.com:20120/mywebservice/Greeting?wsdl"; URL wsdlLocation=new URL(url); QName serviceName = new QName("http://ccc/", "GreetingService"); Service service = Service.create(wsdlLocation, serviceName); But I am getting the static create method of Service class returning null instance of Service object. I do not understand why the create method returning null instance of Service object. Should I need to install some patch JAX-WS implementation of JBOSS? Can any one help me out waht is the problem why I am getting null value for instance of Service object. best regards, Ajay Kumar, ST Microelectronics Ltd. Noida,India.
