Thanks everybody for your help. The suggestions were all good and i tried most of them to no avail... mainly because the problem was simple and with the deployment descriptor.
The problem is that i did not declare the 'java' namespace in the deployment descriptor, so while the data was added to the server-config.wsdd, there was no logic to handle the provider 'java:EJB'. Looking at the log file i noticed that the service i had written and the Admin service produced the same trace but the AdminService actually went into the Java provider code. I looked then again at other deployment descriptors and finally noticed that the java namespace was included in the descriptor. When i added that in, the service deployed, the methods showed up, the wsdl was generated and I was able to call a method from the service via a client. Thanks again for the help, hopefully i'll be able to return the favor someday. edward On Mon, 6 Sep 2004 13:03:13 -0400 edward winston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am having problems deploying a web service that will front a stateless > session bean.
