FileNotFoundException for local WSDL

Question

I try to implement a consumer for my jax-ws @Stateless @WebService bean webservice. The service runs fine and I can successfully test it using NetBeans's/GlassFish's webservice testing functionality.

The consumer is a Servlet deployed with the same ear as the service. I inject the service using

@WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:8080/EchoService/EchoBean?wsdl")
EchoService echo;

but whenever I open the servlet all I get is a stack trace with the following root exception

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
http://localhost:8080/EchoService/EchoBean/__container$publishing$subctx/null?WSDL

I can load the WSDL from http://localhost:8080/EchoService/EchoBean/?WSDL in the browser but I have no clue about the __container$publishing$subctx/null part, which is not mentioned anywhere in my code.

The full stack trace is available at http://pastebin.com/dneCPj8z

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

If you are using Glassfish 4, @WebServiceRef annotation does not work properly on servlets and filters. This is filed under GLASSFISH-20740. Check this thread.

Answer 2

In your project, under:

"Your project name"/Configuration Files/xml-resources/web-service-references/"Your web service name"/wsdl/

copy the "localhost_8080" folder and paste it under:

"Your project name"/Web pages/WEB-INF/wsdl.

also change:

@WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:8080/EchoService/EchoBean.wsdl")

to:

@WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/localhost_8080/EchoService/EchoBean.wsdl")
