JAX-WS from Sessions Bean fails due to missing org/jboss/log

[ejb3workshop]

I have a standalone client jar which using JAX-WS in JDK1.6 is able to consume a webservice. I would like to invoke the webservice from a session bean, so I added the webservice client JAR to my ear file and updated the application.xml file.

The problem is that when I try to invoce the client from within JBoss I get the following error.

A search in the forums and the web makes suggestions to include the jboss-common-clients.jar in the classpath. I tried added this jar to the /server/default/lib folder as well as include it within the EAR / application.xml, of which neiter worked.

If JAX-WS client is not supported what other libraries can I use to consume a web service from a Session Bean.

I had similar classpath problems, when I added the JBoss JAX-WS jars to the server. I guess that has something to do with mixing the JDK6 JAX-WS implementation with the JBoss JAX-WS implementation.

But if you want to invoke a web service from a stateless session bean you don't need to do that.
If you are using JBoss 4.2 and EJB3 you can do it like that:

1. Use the wsconsume tool (in JBoss/bin directory) to generate your web service class files from your wsdl file.
2. Add these files to your classpath.
3. Write a stateless session bean like that:

@Stateless
public class WSInvoker
{
 // Replace MyWebService with your generated web service class name here
 @WebServiceRef
 private static MyWebService service;

 public void invokeWS()
 {
 MyEndpoint entpoint = service.getEndpoint(MyEndpoint.class);
 // invoke the endpoint's buisness methods
 }
}

I hope I could help you.

I have the same problem, although web-service is being invoked remotely.
Adding jboss-common-client.jar or jbossall-client.jar to JBoss classpath does not help.
Then I tried to put this jar to lib/endorsed, next to jars required for JBossWS on Java 1.6 , and JBoss failed to start at all.
Somehow, endorsed classes does not "see" JBoss classpath ... How to solve this problem ?
