Client problem for my JAX-WS web service

My client for my jax-ws web service is not working.

package client;
   import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef;
   import com.techtip.jaxws.sample.CalculatorService;
   import com.techtip.jaxws.sample.Calculator;

public class JAXWSClient {
      @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation=
       "http://localhost:8080/jaxws-webservice/CalculatorService?WSDL")
       
       static CalculatorService service;
       
      public static void main(String[] args) {
         try {
           JAXWSClient client = new JAXWSClient();
           client.doTest(args);
         } catch(Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
         }
      }
      
      public void doTest(String[] args) {
        try {
          System.out.println(
             " Retrieving port from the service " + service);
          Calculator port = service.getCalculatorPort();
          System.out.println(
             " Invoking add operation on the calculator port");
          for (int i=0;i>10;i++) {
            int ret = port.add(i, 10);
            if(ret != (i + 10)) {
              System.out.println("Unexpected greeting " + ret);
              return;
            }
            System.out.println(
               " Adding : " + i + " + 10 = "  + ret);
            }
        } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
   }

I get a null pointer exception because the service is not being injected by the @WebServiceRef annotation.

Ok so I just found that the annotation does not get processed because my client is not in the container. How do I make this WS call without the annotation?

Thanks,

Hi!
If you are using client artifacts generated from the WSDL, then you can simply add this line of code at appropriate place in your client:
