Is @WebServiceRef Supported On Jboss 4.0.5GA/JBossWS 1.2.0?

[joshlam]

Hi

I am using JBoss 4.0.5GA with JDK 5 and JBossWS 1.2.0GA. I am trying to work through some of the samples on @WebServiceRef and I noticed that the jboss-client.xml has:

<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 5.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_5_0.dtd">

I looked at the jboss_4_0.dtd and there isn't any reference to <webservice-ref> so the following

<webservice-ref>
 <service-ref-name>TestEndpointService5</service-ref-name>
 <wsdl-override>META-INF/wsdl/TestEndpoint.wsdl</wsdl-override>
</webservice-ref>

does not work in JBoss 4.0.5GA and only supported in JBoss 5? Or is there a way to declare webservice-ref in jboss-client and use the @WebServiceRef samples/features in JBoss 4.0.5GA?

Would appreciate any examples or references to similar topics already discussed in the forum.

Thanks.

Ok, I think this is being addressed in:

http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=103198

So basically, the answer is that to write clients using @WebServiceRef is not possible in JBoss 4.0.5GA, therefore, the samples for webserviceref will only work with Jboss 4.2 and Jboss 5.
