Issue running CXF JAX WS Service

Question

I have exposed a web service using the CXF JAXWS Service via the HTTP outbound.

Given below is the syntax of my end-point declaration from my Mule config.

<http:inbound-endpoint address="http://localhost:8080/HelloService"  exchange-pattern="request-response">
        <cxf:jaxws-service serviceClass="com.example.service.HelloServiceImpl" wsdlLocation="wsdl/helloservice.wsdl"
        namespace="http://example.org/HelloService"          
         port="HelloServicePort"   service="HelloService"  >

But this is no working. It gives the below error when tried to run this on mule server.

2013-04-08 16:34:35,252 ERROR [main] mule.MuleServer (MuleServer.java:474) - 
********************************************************************************

It is looking for a different port than what I have mentioned in the service endpoint declaration.

Please help me understand, what the issue is.

Given below is the wsdl of this service.

I have created this WSDL and then generated code using wsdl2java of cfx. Then Implemented the service interface operations. Then configured the service in a Mule flow.

I have absolutely no problem configuring a cxf:jaxws-service with a port attribute, so I think the issue is in your configuration.

For instance, the error says CXF is looking for {http://service.example.com}HelloServiceImplPort but surprisingly you're configuring the service namespace as http://example.org/HelloService. Though it doesn't need to be consistent, it usually is.

Looking at your WSDL, things seem correct so my guess is that the @WebService annotation on HelloServiceImpl.class contains funky values.

It should be:

@WebService(endpointInterface = "...interface class...", targetNamespace = "http://example.org/HelloService", serviceName = "HelloService", portName = "HelloServicePort", wsdlLocation = "wsdl/helloservice.wsdl")

Note that with a properly configured @WebService, you only need this in Mule XML config:

<cxf:jaxws-service serviceClass="com.example.service.HelloServiceImpl" />
