Hi all!
I'm trying to use an EJB as client for a Web service. Unfortunately I'm having some problems when I'm injecting the WebServiceRef into the EJB.

Here's my code:
This is the WebService in the .war file :

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public class POJOWs implements POJOWsItf
{

 @WebMethod
 public String echo(String input)
 {
 return input + " called !";
 }
}

This is the EJb in the jar file:

@Stateless

public class EJBClient implements EJBClientItf {


 @WebServiceRef(POJOWs.class)
 private POJOWs service;

 public String callWS(String input) {

 System.out.println("EJB called !");
 return service.echo(input);


 }
}

Now when I try to lookup my EJb and invoke the method callWS :

<%
 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 com.sample.EJBClientItf ejb = null;
 ejb = ( com.sample.EJBClientItf)ctx.lookup("StatelessfulExample/EJBClient/remote");
 String ss = ejb.callWS("hello");
 out.println(ss);

%>

Here's the error I get:

javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to inject jndi dependency: env/com.sample.EJBClient/service into property com.sample.EJBClient.service: WebServiceRef type 'class com.sample.POJOWs' is not assignable to javax.xml.ws.Service

How can I fix it ?
thanks a lot
