I found the following post on the archives and was wondering if there was any resolution. I am having exactly the same problem. I'm sure it's a classpath problem but I don't know where I could put my ejb jar to make SOAP happy. I even tried stuffing it in the soap.war that is deployed in Tomcat, which I shouldn't have to do but I was getting desperate! Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks, Lisa --------------------------------- List: soap-user Subject: calling stateless EJB via SOAP From: "Cook, Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2001-08-27 16:47:22 [Download message RAW] I am attempting to use Apache ver 2.2 SOAP to call a stateless EJB deployed in JBOSS ver 2.2.2. The error I get back from Apache is: Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server Fault String = Error in connecting to EJB The JBOSS log shows this: [EmbeddedTomcatSX] In TemplateProvider.locate() [EmbeddedTomcatSX] URI: urn:getAddressTypes [EmbeddedTomcatSX] DD.ServiceClass: org.apache.soap.providers.StatelessEJBProvider [EmbeddedTomcatSX] DD.ProviderClass: null [EmbeddedTomcatSX] Call.MethodName: getXML [EmbeddedTomcatSX] Exception caught: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNot FoundException: oneok.ocms.bll.getAddressTypesHome] My client code is roughly: URL urlRouter = new URL ("http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"); Call call = new Call (); call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC); call.setTargetObjectURI ("urn:getAddressTypes"); call.setMethodName ("getXML"); Response resp = call.invoke(urlRouter, ""); My SOAP deployment descriptor is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment" id="urn:getAddressTypes"> <isd:provider type="org.apache.soap.providers.StatelessEJBProvider" scope="Application" methods="create"> <isd:option key="JNDIName" value="ejb/bll/getAddressTypes"/> <isd:option key="FullHomeInterfaceName" value="oneok.ocms.bll.getAddressTypesHome" /> <isd:option key="ContextProviderURL" value="jnp://localhost:1099" /> <isd:option key="FullContextFactoryName" value="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory" /> </isd:provider> <isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</isd:faultListene r> </isd:service> My EJB works with "traditional" java clients, just not with the SOAP client. I haven't noticed any other problems with my Apache or JBOSS installations, and yes, I do have the xerces.jar file listed first in my classpath... I even tried adding the jar file for my EJB to the classpath, and restarting, but that didn't help either! Does anyone have any ideas?
