Document literal services
I'm new to JBossWS, but have experience using AXIS. I'm having trouble with using document/literal for my web services in JBossWS. I have written a very simple service (as a standard JSE not an EJB): 1 method that takes a String parameter and no return value.
I can easily expose and use this as a rpc/literal service and consume it from a java client (using wscompile). However .NET doesn't support rpc/literal.. so I need doc literal. This is where things get frustrating...
I rebuild my service with the same config.xml, and webservices.xml file using wscompile. I assume these files are fine, since they work for rpc literal.
wscompile -gen:server -mapping WEB-INF/mapping.xml -d WEB-INF/wsdl -cp ./bin -f:documentliteral config.xml
Then I put all the files in the right place in the WEB-INF directory and WAR it up. It deploys fine, and I can view the WSDL and create a client... BUT when I try to invoke the client I get an exception (from both .NET and Java). From the .NET client I get this:
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response con
tent type of 'text/html;charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:

I get the same type of error from a java client created using wscompile.
Am I missing something about doc/lit here? The documentation available on how to perform this for doc/lit is sparse and poor...
I thought I might have to specify a serializer/deserializer but I have no complex types.
Thanks for the help... this is driving me nuts
