WebService not initialized

Question

I am experimenting with WebServices, when i used form a JSP/Servlet client the webservice is working fine:
package org.me.calculator.client;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboard.Game;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboard.ScoreboardWS;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboard.ScoreboardWSService;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.List;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef;
import javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException;
* @author mg116726
@WebServlet(name="ClientServlet", urlPatterns={"/ClientServlet"})
public class ClientServlet extends HttpServlet {
    @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:8080/ScoreboardApp/ScoreboardWSService?wsdl")
    public ScoreboardWSService service;
    @Resource
    protected WebServiceContext context;
    * Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
    * @param request servlet request
    * @param response servlet response
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try {
            out.println("<h2>Servlet ClientServlet at " + request.getContextPath () + "</h2>");
                ScoreboardWS port = service.getScoreboardWSPort();But using that in a JavaFX code service is null:
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.Game;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.ScoreboardWS;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.ScoreboardWSService;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef;
* @author charly
public class ScoreBoardController implements Initializable {
    @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:8080/ScoreboardApp/ScoreboardWSService?wsdl")
    public ScoreboardWSService service;
    @Resource
    protected WebServiceContext context;
    @FXML
    private ChoiceBox leagueSelection;
    @FXML
    private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
        leagueSelection.getSelectionModel().select(0);
        leagueSelection.getSelectionModel().selectedIndexProperty()
                .addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov,
                                                Number t, Number t1) {
                ScoreboardWS port = service.getScoreboardWSPort();Am I doing something wrong?
Greetings and thanks in advance.

Hi,
Getting the result back from a httpservice / webservice /
remoting call always happens asynchronously. That is, there is no
way to force your script to wait for the result before proceeding.
The validator has to return true or false immediately. There is no
way to make it wait for a webservice result.
Ideally, Flex validators are for client side validation.
Though you could make a web service call, and check the result in
the result handler, and then fire your validator (or simply set
errorString of your component to the error message).
Whatever the case, the validator has to have all the
necessary information to validate when it is called.
