EJB 3.0 Web Services - Custom Request/Response Wrappers

Question

Hi All,
I'm having an issue using Document Literal Wrapped web services with EJB 3.0. I have declared a service endpoint interface(SEI) in one jar file, along with custom wrapper classes for the requests and responses. The wrappers have the XML content customized a bit (different type names, etc.), but should be compatible with the @RequestWrapper and @ResponseWrapper annotations. The implementation is in an EJB jar file that includes the jar with the SEI in it. My issue is that the wrapper classes I declared are not being used, and instead new ones are being generated. Is it even possible for it to use supplied wrappers, or does it have to generate its own (and if so, is it in any way possible to specify the XML types it generates). I've tested this with wsgen, and I get the same result (new wrapper classes, the ones I supplied ignored) as when I deploy it. Here is the output from wsgen:
Note: ap round: 1
[ProcessedMethods Interface: com.company.IngestorService]
[should process method: ingestProductDirectory hasWebMethods: false ]
[endpointReferencesInterface: true]
[declaring class has WebSevice: true]
[returning: true]
[WrapperGen - method: ingestProductDirectory(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)]
[method.getDeclaringType(): com.company.IngestorService]
[requestWrapper: com.company.IngestProductDirectoryRequest]
[should process method: datatypes hasWebMethods: false ]
[endpointReferencesInterface: true]
[declaring class has WebSevice: true]
[returning: true]
[WrapperGen - method: datatypes()]
[method.getDeclaringType(): com.company.IngestorService]
[requestWrapper: com.company.DatatypesRequest]
com\company\DatatypesRequest.java
com\company\DatatypesResponse.java
com\company\IngestProductDirectoryRequest.java
com\company\IngestProductDirectoryResponse.java
Note: ap round: 2
I note that is says "hasWebMethods: false". Could that be an issue? Could it not be seeing my methods as web methods. The SEI and the implementation class are in different jar files and different packages. Could this be an issue?
Here is the web service interface:
@WebService(
name = "IngestorService",
targetNamespace = "http://company.com/"
@SOAPBinding(
style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT,
parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED
public interface IngestorService
@WebMethod(
action = "http://company.com/ingestProductDirectory"
@WebResult(
name = "response",
targetNamespace = ""
@RequestWrapper(
className = "com.company.IngestProductDirectoryRequest"
@ResponseWrapper(
className = "com.company.IngestProductDirectoryResponse"
public void ingestProductDirectory(
@WebParam(
name = "sourceDirectory",
targetNamespace = ""
String sourceDirectory,
@WebParam(
name = "datatype",
targetNamespace = ""
String datatype);
@WebMethod(
operationName = "datatypes",
action = "http://company.com/datatypes"
@WebResult(
name = "datatypes",
targetNamespace = ""
@RequestWrapper(
localName = "DatatypesRequest",
className = "com.company.DatatypesRequest"
@ResponseWrapper(
localName = "DatatypesResponse",
className = "com.company.DatatypesResponse"
public List datatypes();
Here are the datatype request and response wrappers:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(
name = "DatatypesRequest"
public class DatatypesRequest
DatatypesResponse.java:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PROPERTY)
@XmlType(
name = "DatatypesResponse",
propOrder =
"datatypes"
public class DatatypesResponse
private List<String> _datatypes;
@XmlElementWrapper(
name = "datatypes",
required = true,
nillable = false
@XmlElement(
name = "datatype",
required = false
public List<String> getDatatypes() {
if (_datatypes == null) {
_datatypes = new ArrayList<String>();
return _datatypes;
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have been trying to do the same... and it seems to be impossible... (or completly undocumented).
It seems that OC4J 10.3.x is ... no exactly fully EJB3/J2EE5 compliant...
Or something like that:
http://blogs.infosupport.com/berte/archive/2005/09/09/1117.aspx
IMHO... OC4J 10.3.x is still a preview for OC4J 11...
OC4J 10.3.x is kind of a J2EE4/5 hybrid... if you start digging in the documentation, you will find out that the only
way to have WS-Security is going back to J2EE4 http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/wssecure/10gwssecurity_howto.html
(of course, I hope you probe me wrong)
