Re: Can't find prefix error on attempting to get WSDL

[Colin Sampaleanu]

This 'breakage' appears to happen even with the attachments sample which 
ships with Axis. I have tried 1.1RC, as well as the 20030525 nightly 
drop, and both JDK 1.4.1 and 1.3.1, and get the following error when I 
try to view the WSDL for the echo service (which was deployed without 
issues):

http://localhost:8080/axis/services/urn:EchoAttachmentsService?wsdl

   AXIS error

Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:

Fault - ; nested exception is: 
	WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Can't find prefix for 'urn:EchoAttachmentsService'. Namespace prefixes must be set on the Definition object using the addNamespace(...) method.: 

AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode: 
faultString: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Can't find prefix for 'urn:EchoAttachmentsService'. Namespace prefixes must be set on the Definition object using the addNamespace(...) method.: 
faultActor: 
faultNode: 
faultDetail: 

Can anybody qualify if something is really broken here, or it's just a 
config issue of some sort. Viewing wsdl from other services (both mine 
and the samples) does seem to work ok.

Regards, Colin

The .wsdd file follows. As far as I can tell, everything is ok. Can 
anybody shed some light on what is going on, this is actually very 
similar to the attach sample...
