Answer 1

I needed something like this, too.

In my case, I had put a dummy wsdl without endpoint address inside my web app classpath. After that, I set a valid address at runtime, like this:

    String WSDL = "/config/ws/Main_default.wsdl";
    Main service = new Main(Main.class.getResource(WSDL), new QName(
            "http://www.example.com/", "Main"));
    MainWS port = service.getMainWSPort();

    BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
    bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
            "http://app.example.com/ws/services/main");

    Object result = port.someMethod("some param");

Answer 2

There are several ways, of which I will tell you two:

1. Use a WSDL document file locally

   Save a copy of the WSDL document file and the schemma files to your project.

   ClassLoader classloader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
   URL wsdlLocation = classloader.getResource("MyHelloService.wsdl");
   QName serviceName= new QName("http://test.com/", "MyHelloService");
   
   MyHelloService service = new MyHelloService(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
   service.sayHello("Test");
   

   You may combine the WSDL document file with the schema files.

2. Without a WSDL document file

   This solution requires the client generated.

   QName qname = new QName("http://thenamespace", "FooService");
   FooService service = new FooService(null, qname); // null for ignore WSDL
   Foo port = service.getFooPort();
   BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
   bindingProvider.getRequestContext()
       .put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
       "http://foo.com/soap/fooBean");
   
   // Use the service
   String result = port.doSomething(param);
   

Answer 3

Finally i use the CXF libraries and i achieve use the Paul Vargas answer:

Without a WSDL document file

This solution requires the client generated.

QName qname = new QName("http://thenamespace", "FooService");
FooService service = new FooService(null, qname); // null for ignore WSDL
Foo port = service.getFooPort();
BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
bindingProvider.getRequestContext()
    .put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
    "http://foo.com/soap/fooBean");

// Use the service
String result = port.doSomething(param);

Using standard jaw-ws, this solution don't work, CXF is necessary.

This exception happens while there is a parse error in your xml and there is something wrong at the specified row and column. Check your xml
