HELP with error "Can not connect http client invoker"

[ajay662]

My development environment is
jboss 4.0.5.GA
jbossws-1.0.4.GA

Trying to consume remote web-services from an MDB, using "service-ref" element in the deployment descriptor as mentioned in the JBossWS User guide. While invoking a web-service method, I get the following exception. I have looked through the forums but did not find any relevant help...

I have already tried to increase the timeout value to 2 minutes using StubExt class... same results. My standalone client (outside of Jboss) works fine.

Here is the exception stack

My mistake... was using the wrong endpoint address.

[ajay662]

Now that I figured out that I was using the wrong endpoint address, my next question [to the jboss team] is why is this exception logged at ERROR level by the "org.jboss.ws.jaxrpc.CallImpl" class? My endpoints are dynamic and I know them only at run time and its perfectly normal for some of the endpoints (network devices in my case) to be down. I don't want to clutter my log with these exceptions.

Currently only way i can suppress these is by changing the log4j.xml, but I am afraid that by doing this some of the other important ERROR messages will be filtered out.

<category name="org.jboss.ws.jaxrpc.CallImpl">
 <priority value="FATAL"/>
 </category>

Does it make sense to not log this exception at ERROR level??

Ajay, I am facing the same problem. My endpoint is correct. Have any other chance to get this same error?

[sivananthamrg]

I am working on to rerieve the below details in my custom action class in my ESB service.

1. Details of the destination - Service to which the request to be routed.
2. Details of the sender ( service requestor URL;functionality similar to the result of getRemoteHost() method of ServletRequest API)

I browsed through the Call / EPR / PortReference API, but i didnt find methods that suits my requirement. I am new to JBoSS so dont have much clue on this.

I appreciate your help in this regard,

Thanks in advance.
