I followed the posting below and I could get EchoTest to work by doing the following (adding portName which is in bold) @javax.jws.WebService(endpointInterface="echo.Echo", portName="EchoPort") public class EchoImpl implements Echo{ ... } It looks like the name should match WSL port which is defined as I am surprised why some instructions are not available in the product manual or part of WSCONSUME intructions. I don't understand why it should be so difficult to do a simple hello world web service when I start from WSDL first.
