1) I was working so far with 5.5M2 and the WS Explorer was fine.
I installed on Thursday the latest 5.5GA. After that I can’t start anymore the WS Explorer. I was thinking that because being tired I installed over the previous workspace created for 5.5M2. But NO , I uninstalled and installed again today the 5.5GA but now it doesn’t ask/prompt the user to choose a default workspace (at install or later at run time doesn’t matter). Before you could’ve do that which I find helpful, but now it picks up automatically the previous workspace (don’t tell me that’s because both are 5.5 one M2 and latest GA …). Switching to another workspace and try again the WS Explorer doesn’t fix this annoying issue !

I get only this laconic error pop-up:

Problems opening link:
Unable to open web browser on {0}

Even the error message is misleading because I’m trying to open the Web Service Explorer not the web browser per se.

If I start my previous shell script for MyEclipse 5.5M2, I can acknowledge that now that particular installation was upgraded as well (even if I installed in totally different locations like when I did the move from 5.1.1. to 5.5M2 and could’ve use both pointing to related release); so the 5.5M2 was upgraded to MyEclipse 5.5GA as well.
BTW I did all Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Project Capabilities > Web Services and select “Restore Defaults” to complete the upgrade to 1.2.6 XFire Library.

2) Testing locally a client service:

If I disable the Proxy settings in MyEclipse the Client Service GUI can
find the provided wsdl URL in order to validate it and create stubs from that wsdl and I don’t get the 504 Gateway Timeout error anymore.

Here is more “simptomps” info:
Problem comes when you say = generating the client = you said “The web
service is in one project and another project houses the client.”
I did exactly the same too trying both with XFire eclipse plugin, or
with the XFire from within MyEclipse to generate the client code using
the URL for the wsdl location from the other project and deployed on
local JBoss AS. I can access that URL fine in the browser but using the
XFire plugin (or MyEclipse XFire) I run into this errror and times out
when accessing the URL in order to validate the wsdl:

———————-
Server returned HHTP response code: 504 for URL :
http:?//correct_path/Service?wsdl
———————-

Looking at HTTP error codes definitions:

504 Gateway Timeout
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely
response from the upstream server specified by the URI (e.g. HTTP, FTP,
LDAP) or some other auxiliary server (e.g. DNS) it needed to access in
attempting to complete the request.
Note: Note to implementors: some deployed proxies are known to
return 400 or 500 when DNS lookups time out.

I FOUND OUT that is because of the Proxy.

So for the testing on local server a wsdl URL served from another project I will have to disable the Proxy. That doesn’t make to much sense … And have to turn on the Proxy again for Install/Updates or for remote testing…

Any ideas ?

Forgot to post this about point 1) : uninstalling completly 5.5 Milestone 2 and then installing 5.5 GA fixed the problem. Be careful if you worked previously with M2 and installing GA as well.
