[newbie howto] Get WSDL2Java to find a referenced class

[Taylor, Clarence B]

I am trying to create a web service the returns an array of objects.  I get an error when running WSDL2Java  "classname referenced  but not defined" where classname is an element in the array of objects I want to return.  Details below

 

 

 

1). I compile myTest.java to create myTest.class

2). I run Jav2wsdl as below: to create myTest.wsdl

 

c:\axis\java2wsdl -o myTest.wsdl -l"http:"//localhost:8080/axis/services/myTest -n "urn:myTest" -p"samples.userguide.myTest" "urn:myTest" samples.userguide.myTest.myTest

 

3). I run wsdl2java as below: and get the the error

 

c:\axis\wsdl2java -o . -d Session -s -S true  -Nurn:myTest -i  samples.userguide.myTest myTest.wsdl

 

java.io.IOException: Type {urn:myTest}myNames is referenced but not defined.

Java source for Java2WSDL:

 

package samples.userguide.myTest;

 

public interface myTest extends java.rmi.Remote {
    public samples.userguide.myTest.myNames[] getmyTest() throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
}

 

Java source for the class the defines myNames:

 

package samples.userguide.myTest;
public class myNames {
        public String FirstName;
        public String LastName;
        public String Adddress;
        public String PhoneNumber;
        public myNames(String sFirstName, String sLastName, String sAdddress, String sPhoneNumber) {
                super();

                FirstName = sFirstName;
                LastName = sLastName;
                Adddress = sAdddress;
                PhoneNumber = sPhoneNumber;
        }

 

}
