Issues with SOAP address location in EJB 3.0

I am deploying my EJB 3.0 application on 3 servers for right now; JBoss, GlassFish and Oracle Application Server.
I have a simple Stateless Session Bean with the appropriate WebService annotations.
When I deploy my application to these 3 servers, each one has a different WSDL URL.

The name and serviceName are as specified in the @WebService annotation.

@WebService(name="HelloManager", serviceName = "HelloManagerService", targetNamespace = "urn:HelloManagerService")

There is however some consistency between JBoss and Oracle. They use the following notation:

soap:address location="http://hostname:portname/earfilename/name"

For e.g:
soap:address location="http://localhost:8080/ejb3webservices/HelloManager"


GlassFish on the other hand, uses the following notation:

soap:address location="http://hostname:portname/servicename/name"

For e.g:
soap:address location="http://localhost:8484/HelloManagerService/HelloManager"


I am trying to use SOAP UI to test my web services once they are deployed using Ant.

I didn't see any reference in the EJB 3.0 spec regarding the WSDL location. Is this vendor specific? Is there any place where we can customize the WSDL?

Also, I don't see any configurable attribute in the documentation for the @WebService annotation.

    Is there a way to change the hostname to use the actual IP instead of "localhost"?

    There is WebContext annotation for JBossWS.

    I am not willing to add any annotations specific to an application server. I need my app to be portable across all these servers.

    This is how you can change the webservice address location:


    BindingProvider portBP = (BindingProvider) mpPort;
    portBP.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://...");

    Any luck finding a solution for this yet?
    The BindingProvider option stated above is for the client afaik?

    It should be fixed in the latest version of the EJB spec.
