How to invoke processes viw Web Services

Question

I am trying to test out how we can create/call processes from external programs via Web Services.
I have gone into Studio, I have created a Process called "Customer Call" in a "Process/Customer" Folder which has an id of "CustomerCall". Then I have gone to Process->Process Web Service from the Menu, and added an operation called "customerCall" set to "Process Creation" and Argument Set of "BeginIn". I have then Saved, Checked, Published and Deployed the Process. Then Launched the Workspace and have tested the process works in Hiper Workspace.
However I am unable to access the Process via a WSDL as the documentation suggests.
Following the documentation if I try
http://localhost:9000/fuegoServices/ws/Customer%20CallServiceListener?WSDL
any of the following, as suggested I get a page back with the following text, "HTTP/1.0 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR".
For fun I have also tried the following
http://localhost:9000/fuegoServices/ws/CustomerCallServiceListener?WSDL
http://localhost:9000/fuegoServices/ws/Customer/Customer%20CallServiceListener?WSDL
http://localhost:9000/fuegoServices/ws/Customer/CustomerCallServiceListener?WSDL
All with the same result!
Interestingly if I try
http://localhost:9000/fuegoServices/ws
I get back a page that says, "Web Services".
Have found the following on dev2dev forums, which seems to hint at another method, but this fails also.

The only WSDL I seem to be able to get back is
http://pc009068:8585/workspace/webservices/ProcessService?WSDL
Which brings back the WSDL attached
Hope you can help, or find someone as the documentation seems very confused and possible out of date!

The following Java client application shows how to use the JAX-RPC API to invoke the buy and sell operations of the deployed Trader Web Service.
example from bea online
The following snippet from the sample build.xml file contains instructions that will build the EAR file into a temporary build_dir directory:
<target name="build" >
<delete dir="build_dir" />
<mkdir dir="build_dir" />
<copy todir="build_dir" file="trader.jar"/>
<servicegen
destEar="build_dir/trader.ear"
warName="trader.war"
contextURI="webservice">
<service
ejbJar="build_dir/trader.jar"
targetNamespace="http://www.bea.com/examples/Trader"
serviceName="TraderService"
serviceURI="/TraderService"
generateTypes="True"
expandMethods="True" >
</service>
</servicegen>
</target>
The following Java client application shows how to use the JAX-RPC API to invoke the buy and sell operations of the deployed Trader Web Service:
package examples.webservices.complex.statelessSession;
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Setup the global JAXM message factory
System.setProperty("javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory",
"weblogic.webservice.core.soap.MessageFactoryImpl");
// Setup the global JAX-RPC service factory
System.setProperty( "javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory",
"weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.ServiceFactoryImpl");
// Parse the argument list
Client client = new Client();
String wsdl = (args.length > 0? args[0] : null);
client.example(wsdl);
public void example(String wsdlURI) throws Exception {
TraderServicePort trader = null;
if (wsdlURI == null) {
trader = new TraderService_Impl().getTraderServicePort();
} else {
trader = new TraderService_Impl(wsdlURI).getTraderServicePort();
String [] stocks = {"BEAS", "MSFT", "AMZN", "HWP" };
// execute some buys
for (int i=0; i<stocks.length; i++) {
int shares = (i+1) * 100;
log("Buying "+shares+" shares of "+stocks[i]+".");
TradeResult result = trader.buy(stocks, shares);
log("Result traded "+result.getNumberTraded()
+" shares of "+result.getStockSymbol());
// execute some sells
for (int i=0; i<stocks.length; i++) {
int shares = (i+1) * 100;
log("Selling "+shares+" shares of "+stocks[i]+".");
TradeResult result = trader.sell(stocks[i], shares);
log("Result traded "+result.getNumberTraded()
+" shares of "+result.getStockSymbol());
private static void log(String s) {
System.out.println(s);
