Here is what is wrong according to me

BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalS ervice_Service.class.getResource("https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl");

Class.getResource is meant to local resources with URL's not an WSDL file from URL.

general usage URL myurl = this.getClass().getResource("/myimage.gif");

So two possible solutions

1) download the WSDL file name it some "api.wsdl" and make it available in class path and change the code to

BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalS ervice_Service.class.getResource("api.wsdl");

2) you really don't need this as you have already provided the wsdlLocation top and what exactly are u doing next in the code you snippet is very partial for me to analyze.

Thank you for your response, shivaspk.

Like you I believe that I shouldn't have alter the code as you've suggested in solution one, as this code is generated automatically by NetBean during the Web Service client creation process, from a given wsdl URL.

For the preferred solution 2, you wanted to analyze the code further, so I'm going to provide 2 files:

bfLogin.java class file, line 35, make this call "com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service service = new com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service();"

The above line of code requires, the BFGlobalService_Service.java class file (Java class generated by NetBeans during Web Service class phase). It is in this file that I provided a small code snippet originally, where the occurs at line 32:

e = new WebServiceException("Cannot find 'https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl' wsdl. Place the resource correctly in the classpath.");

BFGlobalService-Service.java

Hmmmmm, I didn't realise you could only attach 1 file, so here is the second file bfLogin.java I mentioned in my first reply.

I am still not sure why u have this static block

static {
BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service.class.getResource("https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl");
WebServiceException e = null;
if (BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION == null) {
e = new WebServiceException("Cannot find 'https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl' wsdl. Place the resource correctly in the classpath.");
}
BFGLOBALSERVICE_EXCEPTION = e;
}

The simplest thinking I can suggest you is to remove this static block in BFGlobalService-Service.java

and try if it still doesn't work! then do this below change in bfLogin.java

change this code from

com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service service = new com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service();

to the code below

com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service service = new com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice.BFGlobalService_Service("https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl");

shivaspk,

I finally got this working, it didn't require any direct manual source changes at all. I'm happy to give you get the points for your help.

The solution was due partly to the idea you gave as solution one, but no manual code change from me.

I didn't realise that when creating a Web Service client it save's a copy of the wsdl file to the local filesystem. I found mine here:

C:\Documents and Settings\robin\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\Betfair\src\META-INF\wsdl\

I recreated the Web Service clients by pointing to the local copy,and let NetBeans to compile/parse/generate the needed source code. After that I rebuilt the project, to ensure all references were relinked.

So the new BFGlobalService_Service.java source code looks like this:

package com.betfair.publicapi.v3.bfglobalservice;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import javax.xml.ws.WebEndpoint;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceClient;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature;

    private final static URL BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION;
    private final static WebServiceException BFGLOBALSERVICE_EXCEPTION;

    static {

        WebServiceException e = null;
        try {

        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            e = new WebServiceException(ex);
        }
        BFGLOBALSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = url;
        BFGLOBALSERVICE_EXCEPTION = e;
    }

    public BFGlobalService_Service() {
        super(__getWsdlLocation(), BFGLOBALSERVICE_QNAME);
    }

    public BFGlobalService_Service(WebServiceFeature... features) {
        super(__getWsdlLocation(), BFGLOBALSERVICE_QNAME, features);
    }
