Changing the wsdl location to be different from the jar name

[summer.hill]

Is there a way of changing the jboss generated WSDL URL such that it DOESN'T use the name of the deployed EJB-JAR?

For example:

EJB: myejb.java
EJB-JAR: mywebservice.jar

JBoss generates a WSDL at the location:

http://localhost:8080/mywebservice/myejb?wsdl

I want to the location to be:

http://localhost:8080/otherlocation/myejb?wsdl

How do I do this?

Hi,

add

<port-component-uri>/somepath/Portname</port-component-uri>

to the section <port-component> of the EJB in the file jboss.xml

Hi Charly,

I am not using EJB deployment descriptors xml files as I am using EJB3 annotations exclusively.

Does this mean I need to generate a deployment descriptor (ie in the jboss.xml file) for the WebService EJB?

Hi James,

I haven't tried EJB3 so far. So I can only guess:
But as far as I know with EJB3 you only get rid of the ejb-jar deployment descriptor. If you deploy an ear you still need the application server specific deployment descripter (e.j. jboss.xml). As I said I haven' used EJB3, so I may be wrong at this point.

I hope this helps at least a little bit.

Thanks Charly,

With EJB3 there appears there was a plan to place a "portName" field into the @WebService annotation. However it doens't seemed to have made it into the standard. I am using JDK 1.5.07 and portName is just not defined. It IS listed the O'Reilly EJB3 book as supported.

The main reason I wanted to change the name, was that I have a deployment dependency ordering issue between my jars. I was renaming my jars to have a numeric prefix such that they would be deployed in the correct order using the prefix based deployer. Having a url with http://hostname/03-webservicename/... looks a bit silly.

I have worked around it now by using the default URLDeploymentScanner and naming all jars that the webservice.jar is dependent upon with prefixes 01-, 02- etc and left the webservice.jar named without a numeral prefix. Numerals come alphabetically before "webservice.jar" so the default deployer seems to work OK now.

Have a look at @PortComponent which is a jboss propratary annotation
