JBoss WS error when calling service defined with no argument

[Mike Ottinger]

Hi All, within my service I have the following defined:

 
    @WebMethod
    @WebResult(name = "UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut")
    public UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut updateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistory()
    {
       // ... body of service
    }  
 

When I deploy this and attempt to call, I get the following error:

Endpoint {http://service.integration.sephora.com}UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryPort does not contain operation meta data for: updateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistory

It's only when I place in an empty parameter like this:

    @WebMethod
    @WebResult(name = "UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut")
    public UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut updateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistory(@WebParam(name = "UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryIn") UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryIn updateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryIn)
    {
       // ... body of service
    }

that I get it working. Is it not possible to define a service method with no arguments? Is there another annotation I might be missing to make this work? Thanks

Hi!
Assuming you have a WSDL and an XML schema specifying the custom element you want to specify using @WebResult:
Have you tried specifying the target namespace, part name etc. using the optional elements of the @WebResult annotation?
For instance, like this:

@WebResult(targetNamespace="http://service.integration.sephora.com" name="UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut")

Note that your WSDL must contain the appropriate wsdl:part (RPC style) or an XML element with the matching local name (Document style).
Best wishes!

Thanks for the reply Ivan, unfortunately adding the targetNamespace attribute to the @WebResult attribute doesn't seem to help. I've got it working by adding a simple dummy String parameter

  
public UpdateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistoryOut updateSkinCareProductEligibilityHistory(@WebParam(name = "message") String msg)
{
   // method body...
}

I just find this less than ideal, I don't need the parameter so why am I forced to make one?

Thanks again for the reply
