Hi,

I'm currently developing a web service under jboss AS7.1.3 and need to move the web service location from /myApp/MyService to /myApp/services/MyService.

I've found out that this could be achieved by configuring the web.xml in the following way:

<servlet>

<servlet-name>MyService</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.MyServiceImpl</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>MyService</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

Even when I'm able to call this service from a jaxws client (generated with jaxws-maven-plugin) I get the exception below as WARNING which does not appear harmful but even though I'm a bit concerned and wondering why it is there... Another weird thing is that if this service is called from SOAP UI, I do not get any exceptions so it might be more related to the client than the server however I cannot get to an explanation...

Any help/hints will be highly appreciated!

I'll continue investigating and post any findings I may find.
