Taken from the JAX-WS 2.0 specs, section 5.2.5.3: anonymous wrote : | | Use of @WebService(wsdlLocation) and Metadata | | There are some restrictions on the packaging of the description and any associated metadata documents. | The goal of these restrictions is to make it possible to publish an endpoint without forcing a JAX-WS | implementation to retrieve, store and patch multiple documents from potentially remote sites. | The value of the wsdlLocation annotation element on an endpoint implementation class, if any, MUST | be a relative URL. The document it points to MUST be packaged with the application. Moreover, it MUST | follow the requirements in section 5.2.5.4 below (?Application-specified Service?). | | | Therefore i don't consider this to be a bug.
