Thanks, Guy. I'll try from home tonight and see what address in the wsdl.

This is a feature, I think. In fact, it's a feature that my project likes. :)
The assumption is that you might have a dynamic SOAP client that can discover
a service as run-time and call it working only from the WSDL. In that case,
it's important that the WSDL contain the true endpoint. "True" means what the
client would call, so the WSDL varies according to the client's position on
your net.
If you want to publish WSDL with a textually-fixed endpoint, put the file on a
web server. External clients will all see the same WSDL, I think, so the
variations may not be a real problem.

Hi,
Apologies if this has already been asked on the list, but I did a search
and couldn't find anything. I'm developing some axis 1.2.1 web services
running in a tomcat 5.5.9 server. I've written the wsdl files, and have
these specified in the wsdd files for the services. At the moment the
soap:address location for the service is specified with the IP address
of my machine for testing, as follows:
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address location="http://<IP
address>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
I've noticed that axis changes the soap:address to reflect the URL used
to request the wsdl. For example, if I call the wsdl files using, for
example, http://<IP
address>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle?wsdl , it is
returned as I defined it in the wsdl:
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address location="http://<IP
address>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
However, if I call the wsdl with
http://localhost:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle?wsdl ,
the wsdl is changed to:
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address
location="http://localhost:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
and if I use the name of the machine on our local network
(http://<machine
name>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle?wsdl) the
returned wsdl contains:
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address location="http://<machine
name>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
This happend whether I request the wsdl in a browser, using WSDL2Java,
when or using MS Visual Studio to generate a .Net client. All other
elements of the wsdl are unchanged, as far as I can see.
I'm now at the stage where I want to deploy these services on our
production server with a regular web address (http://www.gsf.de/.....)
defined for the service within the wsdl, such as
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address
location="http://www.gsf.de/ws/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
with this address mapped to the actual location of the service. However,
I'm now finding that if I request the wsdl for this service, as is
changing the address in the returned wsdl to include the machine name
and port on which the service is deployed.
<service name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyleService">
<port binding="tns:BiorsAdvancedQuerySOAPBinding"
name="BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle">
<soap:address location="http://<machine
name>:8080/biorsws/services/BiorsAdvancedQueryDocStyle"/>
</port>
</service>
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and more importantly, is there
a way to ensure that the wsdl returned by axis is exactly as I have
defined it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Richard.
