Hi Alan, I think the key issue here is this error:
/opt/openbd/tomcat/webapps/host-manager/WEB-INF/lib/webservices.jar does not exist and is needed to compile web service type. ... and is most likely caused by either something that's been accidentally hard-coded in the openbd source, or a problem with a config somewhere. This theory can be tested by trying your code using the "war" deployment method (which is usually what I resort to doing when I find something that looks like this). - Uninstall the current instance of OpenBD - Install a plane-jane Tomcat Instance (sudo apt-get install tomcat - should do it) - Then dropping the openbd.war into the webapps directory. From there, test your webservice in the "openbd" directory. If it works, then the hypothesis is confirmed and we need to look over the default configs and/or through the openbd source. I wish I had better news for you about this, but at least you can rest assured that the issue is almost certainly not your own. If you do not have time to test this, I will get to it as my own time allows.
