can't run bank client app

[npalazzolo]

Hi,
I have managed to get through most of the bank tutorial but I cannot seem to execute the client application and access the web service. The JBossDukesBank.ear deploys and works fine. The bankws-ejb.jar seems to deploy OK. I am able to enter the URL http://localhost:8080/bankws-ejb/TellerBean?wsdl and I do get the WSDL.

The problem occurs when I try to execute the ClientWS application. It seems to be failing on the line:

Service service = factory.createService(url, qname, mapping.toURL());

The error that I'm getting is:

run-ws:
[java] log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.jboss.ws.metadata.JSR109ClientMetaDataBuilder).
[java] log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I got the same problem.
My pure client code is much the same as the testcase of sample: jsr109ejb in jbossws-samples-1.0.3.GA,
but I always get the NullPointException.
However, if I run the testcase in the sample, it works fine!!
I can't figure out what is missing in my pure client.
Maybe the ServiceFactoryImpl will read some env properties when it try to create the service.

My code like this:
wsdlLocation = (new File("C:\\TestService.wsdl")).toURL();
QName serviceName = new QName(TARGET_NAMESPACE, "TestService"); ServiceImpl service = (ServiceImpl)factory.createService(wsdlLocation, serviceName, javaWsdlMappingFile.toURL());
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here the exception comes out.
