I am using 4.0.5.GA and 1.2.0.SP1. I used wsconsume to create a top-down web service. When I deploy I get an error as follows. As this error seems to be from trying to parse a jboss generated .xsd file I am unclear what to do. I assume this schema is generated from the wsdl. I cannot see any non-UTF8 characters in the wsdl or the xsd file generated. I would appreciate any pointers on how to debug this problem. 2007-04-09 12:14:15,222 ERROR [org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointDeployer] Cannot create service endpoint org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException: Parser should stop: JBossWS__ws_ship7329.xsd[domain:http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-1998021... byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. at org.jboss.ws.metadata.wsdl.xmlschema.JBossXSErrorHandler.fatalError(JBossXSErrorHandler.java:78) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.opti.SchemaParsingConfig.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.opti.SchemaParsingConfig.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.opti.SchemaDOMParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.traversers.XSDHandler.getSchemaDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.traversers.XSDHandler.parseSchema(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadSchema(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadGrammar(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.ws.tools.JavaToXSD.parseSchema(JavaToXSD.java:181) 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) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4035770#...
