How do you override soap:address location from WSDL at run t

[drblmb]

Let's suppose you are running in production, and have a web service running at 1,000 different locations (IP Addresses). You don't want the overhead of having to go pull down the WSDL everytime you get the port, so you statically link with a .WSDL file stored locally. The problem, however, is that the soap:address location is statically defined in the WSDL. So - how does your JBossWS client change the endpoint address (NOT THE WSDL LOCATION) after getting the web service port?

Example: I have the same web service running at x.x.x.A and at x.x.x.B. So I get the port, and I want to send the same SOAP Request to both servers - why even get the port twice? Just send it to x.x.x.A (assuming that is where the WSDL is pointing to), and then change the endpoint address to x.x.x.B, and using the same port, call the same method again and it should go to x.x.x.B.

This is what we need to do - does anyone know how to do this? And yes, I know that you can override the WSDL location in the constructor - that isn't what I need to do here. I have been working on this for several days without success.

Thanks

...And I don't want 1,000 copies of the WSDL on my client, either - one for each service location...

i think its something like this:

((BindingProvider) service.getPort()).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, serviceURL)

Thank you - that was it and it worked! This is something that should be specified in the user documentation...it was a major headache.

Please go ahead and contribute it to the WIKI:

That's why we chose a WIKI in the first place.

Done! The Wiki had been down for some time, so it is great that it is now back up. I added to the Client_Side section 5.3: http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=User_Guide#Client_Side

cool. thanks for the WIKI update

I am using Flex and the want to consume a login web service written in java running jboss. The flex needs the wsdl location and figures out the endpoint on the fly based on wsdl. However, the endpoint address is the local hostname of the server running web service. In my flex app I get the error message that says it can't connect to http://utv/LoginWS where utv is the hostname of the server running WS on jboss.

Is there any way I can fix it? Is it possible that endpoint url is dynamically generated based on current request?
