Dice service working on WLS

As mentioned in a previous post the Dice service, which is my JAX-WS example for a cross platform service implementation, was not working on BEA WebLogic Servier v10. It turns out I missed a key part of JAX-WS & WLS documentation when putting the build script together. The guidelines in the WLS documentation states that the ant tasks need to have a type=”JAXWS” attribute set. Without this, WLS was treating the web service as a JAX-RPC one and that was the cause of the strange WSDL and the runtime exception.

The build-service target now looks like this:

So the only change is setting the type attribute to JAXWS. The WSDL generated for this service is identical to the one generated on Glassfish.
