"javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: is not a valid service. Valid services are:" how to solve

Question

I have implemented web service MyWebServiceImpl like:

@WebServiceClient(//my parameters//)
@HandlerChain(file = "handlers.xml")
public class MyWebServiceImpl {...}

Also I have interface MyWebService like

@WebService(//my parameters//)
@XmlSeeAlso({
com.my.ObjectFactory.class,
com.my.second.ObjectFactory.class,
com.my.third.ObjectFactory.class
})
public interface MyWebService {...}

I want to get responce using Soap handler, so I have created handlers.xml, LoggingHandler. Then I try to execute my test class I get error:

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: {http://service.ws.my.com/}MyWebServiceImpl is not a valid service. Valid services are: {http://service.ws.my.com/}myWebService

Answer 1

Looks like serviceName parameter from your super(...) in MyWebServiceImpl does not match name of the service specified in WSDL. Take a look at your WSDL file and you should find the following fragment:

<wsdl:service name="myWebService">

Replace serviceName parameter with correct one (i.e. myWebService).

I would recommend using wsimport tool instead of implementing by hand whole client stub. It can be used from command line, as an ant task and as a maven plugin. You just need to specify WSDL file or URL. This way you can avoid tedious work. There is plenty of documentation, like standard Oracle manual.

Of course generated @WebServiceClient won't have @HandlerChain annotation. But additional handlers can be easily added at runtime, e.g.:

MyWebServiceImplService service = new MyWebServiceImplService();
MyWebService myWebService = service.getMyWebServiceImplPort();
List<Handler> handlerChain = new ArrayList<Handler>();
handlerChain.add(new LoggingHandler());
((BindingProvider) myWebService).getBinding().setHandlerChain(
        handlerChain);

System.out.println(myWebService.hello("world"));
