Accessing Seam Web Service

[twocoasttb]

Has anyone had success writing a client for a Seam web service? I've got a skeleton modeled after the seambay example:

@Remote
public interface AgentRemote {

 public void processOrder();

}

@Stateless
@WebService(name="AgentService", serviceName="AgentService")
public class Agent implements AgentRemote {

 @WebMethod
 public void processOrder() {
 System.out.println("METHOD CALLED");
 }

}

When deployed, I can get the following WSDL from the service:

<definitions name='AgentService' targetNamespace='http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/' xmlns='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/' xmlns:tns='http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>
 <types>
 <xs:schema targetNamespace='http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/' version='1.0' xmlns:tns='http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/' xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>
 <xs:element name='processOrder' type='tns:processOrder'/>
 <xs:element name='processOrderResponse' type='tns:processOrderResponse'/>
 <xs:complexType name='processOrder'/>
 <xs:complexType name='processOrderResponse'/>
 </xs:schema>
 </types>
 <message name='AgentService_processOrder'>
 <part element='tns:processOrder' name='processOrder'></part>
 </message>
 <message name='AgentService_processOrderResponse'>
 <part element='tns:processOrderResponse' name='processOrderResponse'></part>
 </message>
 <portType name='AgentService'>
 <operation name='processOrder' parameterOrder='processOrder'>

 </operation>
 </portType>
 <binding name='AgentServiceBinding' type='tns:AgentService'>
 <soap:binding style='document' transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http'/>
 <operation name='processOrder'>
 <soap:operation soapAction=''/>
 <input>
 <soap:body use='literal'/>
 </input>
 <output>
 <soap:body use='literal'/>
 </output>
 </operation>
 </binding>
 <service name='AgentService'>
 <port binding='tns:AgentServiceBinding' name='AgentServicePort'>
 <soap:address location='http://127.0.0.1:8080/AgentService/Agent'/>
 </port>
 </service>
</definitions>

I've tried writing simple clients in both Axis and Axis2. Here's the Axis2 version:

import org.apache.axiom.om.OMAbstractFactory;
import org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement;
import org.apache.axiom.om.OMFactory;
import org.apache.axiom.om.OMNamespace;
import org.apache.axis2.AxisFault;
import org.apache.axis2.addressing.EndpointReference;
import org.apache.axis2.client.Options;
import org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient;

public class Client {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

 try {

 String endpoint="http://127.0.0.1:8080/AgentService/Agent";
 EndpointReference targetEPR = new EndpointReference(endpoint);

 OMFactory fac = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
 OMNamespace omNs = fac.createOMNamespace("http://twocoast.com/service", "tcsc");
 OMElement payload = fac.createOMElement("processOrder", omNs);
 Options options = new Options();
 options.setTo(targetEPR);
 //options.setAction("tcsc:processOrder");

 ServiceClient sender = new ServiceClient();
 sender.setOptions(options);
 OMElement result = sender.sendReceive(payload);
 sender.fireAndForget(result);
 } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
 axisFault.printStackTrace();
 }

 }
}

Regardless of the client, I get the following error in response to a request:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Endpoint {http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/}AgentServicePort does not contain operation meta data for: {http://twocoast.com/service}processOrder

I've seen this error referenced in the JBoss WS forums, but haven't found a definitive answer. Has anyone had more luck with this than I have? BTW, I'm deploying to JBoss AS 4.2.0.GA and using Seam 2.0.0.BETA1

I'm 99% certain this is a JBossWS issue. Seam/WS doesn't really do anything that "interferes" with the normal operation of web services. I recommend you ask on the JBossWS forum and keep bugging them if they're slow to answer.

Turns out it was my issue- it's important that the namespace matches what's in the WSDL:

public class Client {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

 try {
 OMFactory fac = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
 OMNamespace omNs = fac.createOMNamespace("http://service.web.tcsc.twocoast.com/", "tns");
 OMElement method = fac.createOMElement("processOrder", omNs);

 Options options = new Options();
 options.setTo(new EndpointReference("http://localhost:8080/AgentService/Agent"));
 options.setTransportInProtocol(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTP);
 options.setAction("urn:processOrder");
 ServiceClient sender = new ServiceClient();
 sender.setOptions(options);
 sender.sendReceive(method);
 } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
 System.out.println("GOT FAULT");
 axisFault.printStackTrace();
 }

 }
}
