Changing location specified using soap:address

Question

Hi there,
How can i change the webservice host address which is shown in wsdl file (in IE).
This tag is under <service name......
what i know is that the wsdl file is generated automatically then how to change that host address in <host address....
example :
<service name="Service">
<documentation>Interface. Version 2.0</documentation>
- <port name="Service" binding="tns:Service">
<soap:address location="http://mynet.tk.com:11001/webapp/webservices/mpp20" />
</port>
</service>
The question is from where it automatically forms the url like...
<soap:address location="http://mynet.tk.com:11001/webapp/webservices/mpp20" />
I am using bea Weblogic for deployment.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have found now a bit tricky way to solve this after investigating in jax-ws and tomcat source code...
on external proxy server you have to use apache2 as a reverse proxy with the modules mod_proxy, mod_rewrite and mod_headers activated.
In your configuration for your virtual hosts (below only shown for Port 443) you have to set ProxyPreserveHost to On (to set external hostname in proxied request), further you have to modify request header to set the right port, external used:
for example with following directive "RequestHeader set Host externalhost:443".
HTTPS requests you have to route to internal server on second port 8082, HTTP requests you have to route, as usually, on port 8080, look at the directives ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse as shown below.
On tomcat server you have to enable second port 8082 with "wrong" settings enabled: scheme="https" and secure="true"
the webservices are now able to show the right scheme, too, external used.
Possible configuration of apache2 virtualhosts:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
#NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName externalhost:443
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        Protocol https
        UseCanonicalName On
        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-ssl.log
        SSLEngine On
         # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
         # alert, emerg.
         LogLevel warn
         CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-ssl.log combined
         ServerSignature On
         <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
            #turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
            #spammers to use your proxy to send email.
            ProxyRequests Off
            <Proxy *>
                  AddDefaultCharset off
                 Order deny,allow
                 #Deny from all
                 #Allow from .example.com
                 Allow from all
            </Proxy>
            # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
            # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
            # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
            ProxyVia Off
            ProxyErrorOverride Off
            ProxyPreserveHost On
            <IfModule mod_headers.c>
               <Proxy *>
                  RequestHeader set Front-End-Https On
                  RequestHeader set Host externalhost:443
               </Proxy>
            </IfModule>
            ProxyPass                /ws-foo/ http://internalhost:8082/ws-foo/
            ProxyPassReverse /ws-foo/ https://externalhost:443/ws-foo/
         </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule> Configuration of tomcat: <tomcat-base>/conf/server.xml:
    <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 and 8082 -->
    <Connector URIEncoding="utf-8" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false"
               maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150"
               minSpareThreads="25" port="8080" redirectPort="8443"/>
    <Connector URIEncoding="utf-8" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false"
               maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150"
               minSpareThreads="25" scheme="https" secure="true"
               port="8082" redirectPort="8443"/>Hope, that helps you all - this had cost me a lot of time... ;-)
