Just to ensure that the environment is alright, did you try building and running the samples/ejb in axis?
As you mentioned, the issue could be with code generation (java2wsdl, wsdl2java). What errors did you get when you ran WSDL2Java? Need to resolve issues with the EJB classes to run Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java properly. In the worst case, you might need to handcraft the WSDL file and run WSDL2Java. -- Venkat On Tue, 8 Feb 2005 17:10:53 -0000, Dan Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, I'm new to web services and I'm having real trouble exposing an EJB > as a web service.
