(This question is related to an existing question: https://community.jboss.org/message/731990#731990   However they are a bit different, so I will create a new discussion as well.)

I have created a WebService using wsconsume on a hand-built WSDL file. This works great and creates my Java code for me as expected.

When I use the dynamic WSDL endpoint (http://localhost:8080/simple-webservice/MyTestService?wsdl), this works fine.

Unfortunately the dynamically created WSDL is a little different than the static WSDL that I created the classes with. I would like to use the Static WSDL instead.

So I specify my wsdlLocation hoping to use the static WSDL location instead of the dynamic one.

But then I hit the issue we are hitting above. In the server log when the web service tries to intiialize... We always see wsdlLocation = null no matter what we set for the @WebService wsdlLocation annotation parameter. In fact, when we set that, the application seems to fail to even deploy:

  Deployment "vfs:///C:/grails-eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core/JBoss_6.x_Runtime_Server1335231695325/deploy/simple-webservice.war" is in error due to the following reason(s): org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ServiceConstructionException: Could not find definition for service {http://ndd.ndipiazza.com/drs/schemas}MyTestEndpointService.

How do I specify the static WSDL?
