I have created a WS Client using the XFire generator and everything seems to have generated correctly. However, when I attempt to run the ListsClient, I receive the following stack trace:

Any clues?

Stanlick,

The service you are trying to connect to seems to be protected by HTTP authentication. You would need to modify the generated code to specify a username and password. You should find an article covering this here: http://xfire.codehaus.org/Articles
If you don’t have a specific reason to use XFire, I would recommend using JAX-WS to generate the client instead as the XFire framework itself is no longer being developed.

Hope this helps.

I am experiencing this same problem.

I am accessing a .NET WS that is using Http Authentication:
<authentication mode=”Windows” />
<authorization>
<allow roles=”~~theRole~~”/>
<deny users=”*”/>
</authorization>

I then setup my Java XFire WS Client (created through Wizard in MyEclipse 6.0.1.GA – not sure how to develop through wizard for JAX-WS).
The security for the Client was setup following this article: http://www.targetprocess.com/support/Web_services_api/Web_services_java.aspx

Any other suggestions?

PS – quite a few of the articles in the http://xfire.codehaus.org/Articles are not working. From the ones I reviewed, I didn’t see any that seemed like they were discussing this issue.
