SOAPUI - Failed to import wsdl

It seems that this is a very generic error, but if you examine the SOAPUI logs you can usually find out what's causing it. The SOAPUI error log (found in the "soapUI Logs" in the eclipse soapUI perspective tabs) shows the error details.

In my case, there was a SchemaException: Error loading schema types. My WSDL referenced numerous .xsd schemas, one of which was on a secured remote site. I changed the schema reference to a local address using the 'schemaLocation=../localpath/some.xsd' attribute of the import tag and all worked fine.

How to check if JBoss WS is deployed

It seems like a simple task, but it took me a little while to determine whether or not my Web service deployed to JBossWS from Eclipse actually got deployed. Just browse to http://localhost:8080/jbossws/services, and you can see what services are active on the server.
