Calling a webservice from weblogic EJB Application

Question

Hello,
I have a webservice running on IIS server. I created a simple java client program to call the webservice and it works fine. However, when I wrapped the same java client program as a EJB Application, I am unable to call the webservice.
I get the following error:
####<Apr 3, 2007 1:59:30 AM CDT> <Info> <WebService> <CASEJBServer> <ExecuteThread: '24' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'> <<anonymous>> <> <BEA-220094> <An IOException was thrown trying to access the WSDL at the given URL.>
And
"java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: XXXXXX"
Could you please give some simple steps as what are the JAR Files required to be included in the Weblogic Server's classpath to call the webservice.
Thanks.

To start off you need to make sure that your client api is in the classpath, either in your ejb or your ear or the server classpath.
The other concern I would have is that it seems you are just not authorized to access the URL.
- Does the WSDL require credentials? So in other words when you go to the URL are you allowed to access the WSDL without athenticating.
- How does your Impl get created?
MyServiceImpl service = new MyServiceImpl()
If you are using the empty constructor then what is the wsdl endpoint in your jar file since that is the wsdl it will use. If the endpoint is localhost/xxx/xxx then you will have issues since that means your not deployed on localhost. What url is at the endpoint? Do you have access to the url from your server?
If you are using "new MyServiceImpl(url);" then again is the wsdl locked down because in this case you will need to do somthing like http://username:[email protected]/xxx?wsdl
Hope this helps.
