Do you really need to have a web service calling another web service directly?
This adds more things to consider (exceptions to handle, as you've found). You can easily add import java.rmi.RemoteException; To Sum6.jws But wouldn't it be easier to have the Sum class in a .jar in the web application lib directory, and import that class for all the web services that need to call it internally. This way there's only one web service call, and it's come from the external client? Just a thought: hope this helps, Patrick p.s. you also need to change the return statement to return ret.intValue(); -----Original Message----- From: psm041 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 January 2005 16:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Importing packages Hi all, im new to the list (and to axis too) and i have one question to start... I`ve published the following service just for test and all went well (Sum.jws): public class Sum { public int sum(int valor1, int valor2) { return valor1 + valor2; } } Now i want to publish another service that uses the one above, here is the code (Sum6.jws): import org.apache.axis.client.Service; import org.apache.axis.client.Call; public class Sum6 { public int sum(int valor1) { String local = "http://localhost:8081/axis/Sum.jws"; Call call = (Call) new Service().createCall(); call.setTargetEndpointAddress(local); call.setOperationName("sum"); Object[] param = new Object[]{new Integer(valor1), Integer(6)} Integer ret = (Integer)call.invoke(param); return ret; } } ...and i've got the following from axis (while generating wsdl): AXIS error Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details: Fault - Error while compiling: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/jwsClasses/Soma6.java AxisFault faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.compileError faultSubcode: faultString: Error while compiling: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/jwsClasses/Soma6.java faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: {}Errors: Error compiling /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/jwsClasses/Soma6.java: Line 0, column 0: could not parse error message: Note: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated. /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/jwsClasses/Soma6.java:10: Exception javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException must be caught, or it must be declared in the throws clause of this method.
