Error in generating WSDL

[resh123]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a web service using a simple POJO. I have written the code for the Java class and made changes to the web.xml. I deployed the project as a war file. When I access the URL http://localhost:8080/jbossws/services, I can see the web service deployed. However when I click on the link for the web service, I cannot see the WSDL. I get an error message which says XML Parsing Error: no element found.

Is there any other configuration change required?

I am using Jboss 4.2.2.GA.

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Please post the source code for your web service.

Thanks for the reply. The following is the code for the POJO:

package test.services;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;

@WebService
public class HelloService
{
 @WebMethod
 public String sayHello() {

 return "Hello";
 }
}

The following is the web.xml change:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>HelloService</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>test.services.HelloService</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>HelloService</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

When i deployed the war file, i noticed the following exception thrown at the Jboss server console:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find endpoint meta data for: HelloService

Any idea what could be the issue?

[peterj]

Try changing the url-pattern in to web.xml file:

<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>

Thanks for the response again. Well I had tried that.. in fact had tried several combinations of the URL Pattern but its all the same ! I wouldnt have thought that creating a simple web serivce would be so frustrating :-(
Personally, I dont think there is anything wrong with the code, the code i have written is very basic and as shown on the JBoss site. I am just wondering if its anything to do with the JBoss server configuration itself. Do any JBoss specific files need to be modified?

[peterj]

As far as I can tell, your code looks just like mine, and it works for me.

What JDK are you using?

[resh123]

I'm using JDK 1.5.0_05

Do you mind posting your code so that i can compare it with mine and try to see if im doing something wrong?

[peterj]

I created a new project using the exact code you posted, compiled the web service, packaged it in a war file, deployed it, and it works for me. I am using:

09:53:37,163 INFO [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_14,Sun Microsystems Inc.
09:53:37,163 INFO [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_14-b03,Sun Microsystems Inc.

I tried deploying the web service as an EJB and that has worked! So i am going to give up deploying as a servlet for now. Will have another go when i find some time. Thanks for all your help anyways!

I'm having the same issue, I've a simple HelloWorld that i'm trying to deploy on JBoss, but keep getting "cannot find endpoint meta data" error. I'm able to deploy it on GlassFish and WebLogic, just JBoss is giving me problems.

Here's the thread that i made for this issue

Please help me fix this!
