Hi all, there seems to be some confusion about how webservices are bound to JNDI. Here is my interpretation of the JSR109 spec. Maybe you whant to throw your 2 cents in.
server programming model ------------------------------- No mention of JNDI. The server makes the webservice available at a URL. A potential client connects to the webservice through that URL. The service is handled by the server invoking a stateless session bean, or web component. The client does not need to know which. When the client obtains the WSDL from the URL, the port address should reflect the actual location of the webservice on the server. The deployed WSDL may contain a dummy port address, which the server will have to tweak when feeding back the WSDL to a client. A deployment that contains a webservices.xml does not cause a webservice binding in JNDI. client programming model ------------------------------ The deployer provides a WSDL with a valid port address in the WSDL. The client container provides the runtime environment (javax.xml.rpc.Service) in JNDI to access that webservice, ehich may point to any webservice anywhere. The client accesses that webservice like a local object through the SEI. The client container may provide an imlementation of the SEI as static stub, dynamic proxy, or DII. A deployment that contains a webservicesclient.xml causes a global webservice binding in JNDI. A client that has the webservice mapped to his java:comp/env cheers -thomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
