Deploying WebServices JBoss 4.0.5 + JDK 1.5

[goodvin]

I have been trying to make a simple web service work for a while with different errors. I follow examples I found on the web. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

I use JBoss 4.0.5 with JDK 1.5 as it's the latest officially supported version by JBoss.

My test client returns:

[Fatal Error] :-1:-1: Premature end of file.
Receiving: null


And the error I get in the JBoss console executing my test web service is:

ERROR -> [[HelloBean]] Servlet.service() for servlet HelloBean threw exception
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.jboss.ws.soap.SOAPMessageImpl.setProperty(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V

The files below is what I use for testing.

Hello.java:

package test;

import java.rmi.Remote;

import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style=Style.RPC)
public interface Hello extends Remote {

String sayHello(String name);
}


HelloBean.java:


package test;

import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@Stateless
@WebService(endpointInterface = "test.Hello")
@Remote(Hello.class)
public class HelloBean implements Hello {

public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
}


And my test client HelloClient:

package test;

import java.net.URL;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory;

public class HelloClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Starting Test Client");
URL url = new URL("http://rad-mobile1:8080/test/HelloBean?wsdl");
QName qname = new QName("http://test/jaws", "HelloService");

System.out.println("Creating a service Using: \n\t" + url + " \n\tand " + qname);
ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
Service remote = factory.createService(url, qname);

System.out.println("Obtaining reference to a proxy object");
Hello proxy = (Hello) remote.getPort(Hello.class);
System.out.println("Accessed local proxy: " + proxy);

String name = "John";
System.out.println("Sending: name=" + name);

System.out.println("Receiving: " + proxy.sayHello("John"));
}
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!
