WebServiceException: HTTP Status-Code 404

[Timothy Sam]

Hi guys! I have no idea what this error means. I tried to create a webservice client with Netbeans, created a wrapper classe and drag/dropped the methods there.

I am connecting(consuming) to a .Net webservice. When I use the browser, everything seems fine... But when I access it through my Java code, I get this error...

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: HTTP Status-Code 404: Not Found - Not Found
at com.sun.xml.ws.util.SOAPConnectionUtil.getSOAPMessage(SOAPConnectionUtil.java:81)

I'm trying to access the service like this and just to note, it's on another machine on the same LAN.

@WebServiceClient(name = "ResourceAccessControl", targetNamespace = "http://www.mycompany.com/test/integration", wsdlLocation = "http://192.168.100.111/webservices/mywebservice/TestWebService.asmx?wsdl=wsdl1")
public class MyWebserviceWrapper

and also these lines of code inside MyWebserviceWrapper

    static {
        URL url = null;
        try {
            url = new URL("http://192.168.100.111/webservices/mywebservice/TestWebService.asmx?wsdl=wsdl1");
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        TESTWEBSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = url;
    }

Do you guys have any idea? Thanks!

I think this error

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: HTTP Status-Code 404: Not Found - Not Found
at com.sun.xml.ws.util.SOAPConnectionUtil.getSOAPMessage(SOAPConnectionUtil.java:81)    

Indicates that you are not getting through to the service due to some error in addressing. You got through to a server but the server is telling you it cant find a service to match the URL - either it isn't running or it doesn't exist the way you called it.

Thanks William!

However. I seem to be getting a different error this time. I hope this isn't too off-topic now.

Cannot create Service instance, service {http://www.mycompany.com/test/integration}TestWebService not found in the WSDL http://testserver/webservices/TestWebService.asmx?wsdl=wsdl1

[William Brogden]

TestWebService not found in the WSDL

If I got that message I would be taking a close look at the text of the WSDL returned by that url.

The error that you see because of invalidation might be because jax-ws tries to validate the wsdlLocation and the service name that you at service creation in client code with the values specified in WSDL.

So, I would suggest give the service name in WSDL at service creation time and overrite it after the port creation using the following code :

((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "<correct service location>");

The reason why you see http error 404 might be because the service is not up and running at the address specified.
