Question

We have been provided with a wsdl and xsd schema by a company we are working with via email. The web-services we are interfacing with are accessed through a IPsec tunnel. There are local references(on their end) in the published WSDL which means we cannot consume it.

1st question: Is this a common setup? I thought the point of having a WSDL was not only to define the contract but to also expose the service to consumers.

I can easily generate client/server code off of the provided WSDL using wsimport, wsconsume, etc.. I know when my generated client makes a call to my generated service it produces the correct message I need.

2nd Question: Is there an easy way to route this to a different soap address?

I just want to be able to do something like:

SalesTaxService svc = new SalesTaxService();
SalesTax tax = svc.getSalesTaxPort()
tax.getRate("NY");

But not use the soap address defined in the WSDL. I would like to avoid writing a bunch of dispatch clients for each method.

Am I missing something?

*In response to skaffman:
This is what was generated. It defaulted to wsdlLocation as a name shrug

   @WebServiceClient(name = "SomeService")
   public class SomeService_Service extends Service {

    public SomeService_Service(URL wsdlLocation, QName serviceName) {
        super(wsdlLocation, serviceName);            
    }

    public SomeService_Service(URL wsdlLocation) {
        super(wsdlLocation, new QName("urn:some_service", "SomeService"));   
    }
  }

Answer 1

So I figured out why I was having a problem. I was assuming that the wsdlLocation had to be the WSDL that the actual service was publishing. This of course is not the case. The solution is to package a local WSDL with the correct SOAP:Address for the actual service into the client.

edit
I found out that you can alter the endpoint address programmatically without having to alter the actual WSDL:

HelloService service = new HelloService (
  this.getClass().getResource("originalHello.wsdl"),
  new QName("http://example.org/hello", "HelloService "));
HelloPort proxy = service.getHelloPort();

Map<String, Object> ctxt = ((BindingProvider)proxy ).getRequestContext();
ctxt.put(JAXWSProperties.HTTP_CLIENT_STREAMING_CHUNK_SIZE, 8192);
ctxt.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://new/endpointaddress");

proxy.sayHello("Hello World!");
