Change default schemaLocation of wsdl when deploying a web service

Question

Hi,
When I deploy a web service, and then view the schemaLocation attribute of the wsdl, it points to a file with the machine name and not the url for my server. I have tried changing in config files all of the instances that point to my machine name instead of my url. This has not changed what gets set for schemaLocation when I deploy the web service. I also tried creating a new virtual server but I am unsure what value to put for the hostName. I tried my url and that did not seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas of to change the value that gets written to schemaLocation attribute when deploying a web service?
Could anyone point me to documentation for changing a domains' hostName or in other words, the url used to access it? I know when I point my browser to my server's url instead of the machine name for the admin console, things seem to work. But then I run into problems such as above, where certain urls do not get set properly.
If there is a way to set this when installing Sun ONE AS through the wizard, please let me know because I have not added much to my install and could reinstall the software.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi disgruntled one,
The same problem has plagued us a few times already, and I've finally found a solution that worked for me.
Option 1 - requires redeployment of web services.
1. In the admin console, navigate to Configuration -> HTTP service -> HTTP Listeners.
2. Select the correct listener. In most cases this would be http-listener-1
3. In the General Settings section, enter the correct name of your host in the Server Name field. This can be the corresponding name you have in a DNS for the host, or if you don't have a DNS entry, you can hard code it to the machine's IP address.
4. Redeploy any web services for the changes to take effect. I've tried restarting the server but that doesn't seem to have an effect on the WSDL output.
Option 2 - modify the generated WSDL file
1. Look under the {you app server's path}\domains\domain1\generated\xml. You should find the generated WSDL file under this tree in their appropriate sub folders.
2. Modify as you see fit.
This method of course, needs to be redone for each time you redeploy the web services.
