How to Change Webservice Url Endpoint

How to change webservice url endpoint?

IMO, the provider is telling you to change the service endpoint (i.e. where to reach the web service), not the client endpoint (I don't understand what this could be). To change the service endpoint, you basically have two options.

Use the Binding Provider to set the endpoint URL

The first option is to change the BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY property value of the BindingProvider (every proxy implements javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider interface):

...
EchoService service = new EchoService();
Echo port = service.getEchoPort();

/* Set NEW Endpoint Location */
String endpointURL = "http://NEW_ENDPOINT_URL";
BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider)port;
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, endpointURL);

System.out.println("Server said: " + echo.echo(args[0]));
...

The drawback is that this only works when the original WSDL is still accessible. Not recommended.

Use the WSDL to get the endpoint URL

The second option is to get the endpoint URL from the WSDL.

...
URL newEndpoint = new URL("NEW_ENDPOINT_URL");
QName qname = new QName("http://ws.mycompany.tld","EchoService"); 

EchoService service = new EchoService(newEndpoint, qname);
Echo port = service.getEchoPort();

System.out.println("Server said: " + echo.echo(args[0]));
...

JAXWS — how to change the endpoint address

Solved the problem using Apache CXF.

With just two lines of code! Here is the snippet:

URL url_wsdl = new URL("http://myserver/myservice?wsdl");
Service service = Service.create(url_wsdl, new QName("http://myaddress...", "ServiceName"));
return service.getPort(MyJAXWSPortClass.class);

Change WebService endpoint address at run time

You can do it two ways:

1) Cast port to BindingProvider and specify BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY property

MyService service = new MyService();
MyPort port = service....
BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(
BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://New.Endpoint/service");

2) You can call the generated service constructor which takes WSDL URL as parameter.

QName qname = new QName("http://serviceuri/", "service");
String wsdl = "http://New.Endpoint/service?wsdl";
MyServiec service = new MyServiec(new URL(wsdl), qname);
MyPort port = check...;

overriding or setting web service endpoint at runtime for code generated with wsimport

Your client can set the end-point in the service "port" at runtime via the BindingProvider interface.

Consider the JAX-WS client in this JAX-WS tutorial. Another way to write this code would be:

HelloService service = new HelloService();
Hello port = service.getHelloPort();
BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(
      BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
      "http://foo:8086/HelloWhatever");
String response = port.sayHello(name);

Caveat: I haven't downloaded the tutorial code and tested this code against it.

Change exposed WebService URL in Wildfly

I would also look at defining the context-root in a jboss-webservices.xml file. This way you can avoid modifying your web.xml which will break your deployment in GlassFish.

<webservices>
    <context-root>ws</context-root>
</webservices>

Jax-ws with https url ends up as http

One cause could be if the WSDL referenced an http URL.

new MyServiceInterface(new
URL("https://acme.com/services/MyService.svc?wsdl"))
.getMyPort().test();

I'd suggest downloading https://acme.com/services/MyService.svc?wsdl and looking at the <address> or endpoint within the <service>. If it looks like this:

<soap:address location="http://acme.com/services/MyService.svc"/>

That could account for what you are seeing in the javax.xml.ws.service.endpoint.address.

If that's the case and you cannot control/fix the remote WSDL, you may need to programmatically override the endpoint:

MyServicePort myPort = new MyServiceInterface(new URL("https://acme.com/services/MyService.svc?wsdl")).getMyPort();
// set endpoint to use https
String endpointURL = "https://acme.com/services/MyService.svc";
BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider) myPort;
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, endpointURL);
myPort.test();
