Multiple Bindings not Supported

[jesse_sweetland]

Hello,

I'm trying to consume a web service with multiple ports and I receive the error "Multiple bindings not supported." I'm using an IDE-generated static stub built with NetBeans 5.0 (rpcliteral, wsi). I've added an application-client.xml and jboss-client.xml in the JAR META-INF directory to bind the client to JNDI. I have specified a port-component-ref in both, but I still receive the same error. I'm using JBoss 4.0.3SP1.

Here is an example of how my application-client.xml:

<application-client xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application-client_1_4.xsd"
 version="1.4">

 <display-name>MyWSClient</display-name>
 <service-ref>
 <service-ref-name>MyWSClient</service-ref-name>
 <service-interface>mypkg.MyWSSEI</service-interface>
 <wsdl-file>META-INF/wsdl/MyWS.wsdl</wsdl-file>
 <jaxrpc-mapping-file>META-INF/MyWS-mapping.xml</jaxrpc-mapping-file>
 <port-component-ref>
 <service-endpoint-interface>mypkg.MyPort</service-endpoint-interface>
 </port-component-ref>
 </service-ref>
</application-client>

Where mypkg.MyWSSEI is a generated interface that extends javax.xml.rpc.Service and mypkg.MyPort is a generated interface extends java.rmi.Remote. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. I receive no errors other than the "Multiple bindinds not supported". Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

I've tried upgrading to JBoss 4.0.5, but I receive many other errors with my other JAX-RPC web service clients. I receive the same errors even after upgrading to JBossWS 1.0.4 and 1.2.0.

Can someone provide an example of an application-client.xml or jboss-client.xml with a port-component-ref that will enable me to build a client for JBoss 4.0.3? Is there a document that explains a what steps are necessary to migrate JAX-RPC clients from 4.0.3 to 4.0.5?

Is there a preferred or recommended platform? (JBoss 4.0.5 + wstools, JBoss 4.0.3 + wscompile, etc?) We have a lot of existing web services and clients and I would like to minimize migration effort.

Thanks,

Jesse

Lest there be confusion, the mypkg.MyWSSEI is a misnomer--that is the service interface, not the service endpoint interface. The "SEI" suffix was a mistake. (The name was made-up off the top of my head, and I got the two confused.)

The solution is to create a port-component-ref for EVERY port in the web service, not necessarily just the one you want to use. I did this in both jboss-client.xml and application-client.xml; I'm not sure if it needs to be in both places.
