How to go about?

[moensie]

Hello,

I am trying to build and use a JAX-RPC webservice using JBOSS 4.0.3RC1. I would like the webservice to have the possibility to upload and download files.

I think I have found a way using JAX-RPC handlers. I must add a handler on the client and on the server side. The server side was not a problem. I am now trying to add/use a handler on the client application (Webstart Swing). I do not know however how to do this. I have tried doing it programmatically but the JBOSS classes throw an unsupported exception when I call the handlerRegistry.

I have created an application-client.xml file but I do not see how that might help since I am not able to use it. I must say however that I am trying to address my webservice without using JNDI. I only want to use the HTTP port. Is this possible? Or do I have to use the lookup from the server's JNDI tree?

The only option you have is the recommended J2EE client approach:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=WSClientAppl

Which is where you break your client into 2 piecs.
1. A standalone client like you are used to
2. A jar that is deployed on a jboss instance running on the same system as the standalone client

It is possible to strip jboss down into a very minimal set of services to provide this functionality.

To me your usecase sounds a good candidate to a servlet based server implementation.
