Unable to call JAX-WS client deployed on JBoss 7.1.1

Question

I have a generated jax-ws web service client that runs fine when I run it as a java standalone project. However if I add it to a web application (war) deployed on JBoss 7.1.1 and call the web service it throws the following exception:

Idea what I may be missing?

Answer 1

As the error says, the App server is unable to find the said class file. Is it possible in your standalone app your classpath has the library but JBoss AS 7 is unable to find it.

If you can isolate where this library is, you can either bundle it with your WAR file or create a jboss_module to satisfy the dependency.

Good luck!
