Answer 1

Maybe a bit late, but I found a quite simple solution which worked to solve this problem, but this involved a change in the generated code of the Service class:

If the following line in the Service class

baseUrl = net.example.ApplicationService.class.getResource(".");

is changed to

baseUrl = net.example.ApplicationService.class.getResource("");

it works fine even with a WSDL that is packed within a JAR. Not sure about the exact supposed behaviour of getResource() in either of this cases, but I didn't experience any problems with this approach so far, on multiple OS and Java versions.
