generated WSDL through wsgen and REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL

[Sagar Kale]

Hi,

In JAX-WS, I generate wsdl using wsgen ant task. But in generated wsdl I get

<soap:address location="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL"/>

Is there way so that I can set actual url either in my java source file or in ant task?


Thanks.

Hi!
Have you tried to use the wsdlLocation attribute in the @WebService annotation?
If you are deploying to GlassFish, you do not have to worry about setting the address, since GlassFish will automatically do this for you.
Best wishes!

I am new to webservices. But wsdlLocation is used only for contract first webservices. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi!
Yes, you are wrong.
You can write a code-first web service and then generated the WSDL. Normally when JAX-WS deploys a web service, it will generate the WSDL but if you tell it that you already have a WSDL, using the wsdlLocation in the @WebService annotation you can deploy a web service with an existing WSDL and JAX-WS will not generate a new one.
Best wishes!

Thank you.

Hum, not that wrong the 'wsdlLocation' attribute of the @WebService annotation is marked as ' Not currently used by JAX-WS RI 2.2.1 '.

And currently, using some annotation like this one:

@WebService(name = "DepartmentService", wsdlLocation = "${testWS.wsdlLocation}")


Doesn't change the generated soap:address. It remains: 'REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL' in the generated WSDL

Hi Sagar,
To answer your question, use this ANT command to find and replace your WSDL location.
<replace file="${wsdl.fileName}" token="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL" value="${endpoint.url}"/>

The wsdlLocation specifies the location of an existing WSDL document for the web service, which is not the same as the endpoint address.
The wsdlLocation is usually a file on the server which the web service is deployed, but since it is an URL it is not limited to this option.
Some web service stacks, such as Metro (at least when running in GlassFish) dynamically modify the endpoint address in the WSDL depending on to which URL the request for the WSDL was placed.
Best wishes!
