You need to set fullpath file name, axis doesn't use relative path for this case. there are such code snippet in axis source codes,
WSDDService.java public WSDDService(Element e){ ... Element wsdlElem = getChildElement(e, ELEM_WSDD_WSDLFILE); if (wsdlElem != null) { String fileName = XMLUtils.getChildCharacterData(wsdlElem); desc.setWSDLFile(fileName); } ... } SOAPService.java public void generateWSDL(MessageContext msgContext) throws AxisFault { if (serviceDescription == null || serviceDescription.getWSDLFile() == null) { super.generateWSDL(msgContext); return; } // Got a WSDL file in the service description, so try and read it try { Document doc = XMLUtils.newDocument( new FileInputStream(serviceDescription.getWSDLFile())); msgContext.setProperty("WSDL", doc); } catch (Exception e) { throw AxisFault.makeFault(e); } } This is better fixed by Axis development group . :-) Weicheng ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Axis User" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 8:33 AM Subject: Re: Returning my own WSDL from ?wsdl > This works, but only for a given value of works! > > I want the WSDL to be part of my web app, so I've added > > <wsdlFile>MathService.wsdl</wsdlFile> > > to my wsdd file. > > I've put the MathService.wsdl file in every directory in the webapp but > I get the 'Unable to find WSDL file' fault. > > So how do I reference the wsdl that's part of the application? > > Kevin Jones > > On Fri, 2002-12-20 at 19:38, Weicheng Peng wrote: > > try this > > just add <wsdlFile>c:/xmloutput.wsdl</wsdlFile> into service in wsdd. > > > > <service name="xmloutput" provider="java:RPC"> > > <operation name="xmloutput" qname="xmloutput" > > returnQName="xmloutputResponse" returnType="ns1:XmloutputResponse" > > xmlns:ns1="xmloutput"> > > <parameter name="macroname" type="xsd:string" > > xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/> > > <parameter name="item1" type="xsd:double" > > xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/> > > </operation> > > <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="xmloutput"/> > > <parameter name="wsdlPortType" value="xmloutputPortType"/> > > <parameter name="className" value="xmloutput.XmloutputBindingTypeImpl"/> > > <parameter name="wsdlServicePort" value="xmloutput"/> > > <parameter name="wsdlTargetNamespace" value="xmloutput"/> > > <parameter name="wsdlServiceElement" value="xmloutput"/> > > <typeMapping > > deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" > > encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" > > qname="ns2:ListItemType" > > serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" > > type="java:xmloutput.ListItemType" xmlns:ns2="xmloutput"/> > > <typeMapping > > deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory" > > encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" qname="ns3:List" > > serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory" > > type="java:xmloutput.ListItemType[]" xmlns:ns3="xmloutput"/> > > <typeMapping > > deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory" > > encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" qname="ns4:Item1" > > serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory" > > type="java:double[]" xmlns:ns4="xmloutput"/> > > <typeMapping > > deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" > > encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" > > qname="ns5:XmloutputEnd" > > serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" > > type="java:xmloutput.XmloutputEnd" xmlns:ns5="xmloutput"/> > > <typeMapping > > deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" > > encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" > > qname="ns6:XmloutputResponse" > > serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" > > type="java:xmloutput.XmloutputResponse" xmlns:ns6="xmloutput"/> > > <wsdlFile>c:/xmloutput.wsdl</wsdlFile> > > </service> > > > > Weiceheng > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Kevin Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Axis User" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 9:16 AM > > Subject: Returning my own WSDL from ?wsdl > > > > > > > After I've created and deployed a web service is there ant way to get > > > Axis to turn off automatic WSDL generation when it sees the ?wsdl > > > parameter and instead get it to return wsdl that i deploy with the > > > service? > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > Kevin Jones > >
