The class NamingContextListener creates new ServiceRef objects this way Reference ref = new ServiceRef (service.getName(), service.getType(), service.getServiceqname(), service.getWsdlfile(), service.getJaxrpcmappingfile()); However, the constructor of the class ServiceRef is public ServiceRef(String refname, String serviceInterface, String[] serviceQname, String wsdl, String jaxrpcmapping) { It seems the class is passing the type from the service when it should be the interface. In my tests, the application fails with a ClassCastException because it's unable to use the interface (the type attribute of the object service is null), but if I change the service.getType by service.getInterface() ... it all works perfectly fine!
Thanks for the report and, having looked at the code and the spec, I agree with your assessment. Fixed in: - trunk for 9.0.6 onwards - 8.5.x for 8.5.29 onwards - 8.0.x for 8.0.51 onwards - 7.0.x for 7.0.86 onwards
