Calling an operation of a exposed Application Service fails

Question

Hi,
I have created two applications A & B.
Application A has a business operation1 and a application service1. Application service1 calls some operations on the Business Object1 and is also exposed as a web service.
In application B, I have consumed the exposed Application Service1. In application B, there is also one appication service2 which is calling operation of the application service1.
On executing the application B, I get the an exception ObjectNotexist exception when the call to an operation in Application A is made.
However, application A works perfectly fine when executed independently.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
It seems the reason is you have not created the destination for the Web Services exposed from your application A.
See, there are two ways of importing the services from project A into project B
1. You can re-use the project A in Project B, set the dependencies appropriately, and use the services of A in project B.
2. You can expose the services from A as web service and then import them in B & then use them.
You have chosen the second option (Which is not recommended way). This type of usage requires you to create "external service configurations" to define endpoints for the imported services in project B.
This is how u do it : Open the Service Registry at http:///caf ® Administrative tools ® External Service Configuration.
