Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, Shameera, but the instruction that you suggest to do first is the one I can't get to work: java2wsdl. When I go to the directory where the class is and type in the line with java2wsdl
c:\javaprograms\Get_html>c:\axis2-1.6.1-bin\axis2-1.6.1\bin\java2wsdl -cp . -cn Get_html -of gethtml.wsdl I get the error: ClassNotFoundException and when I do that in the c:\axis2-1.6.1-bin\axis2-1.6.1\bin directory it is as I posted, getting the "usage" message returned. So, I think I'm using the wrong paths for this attempt to make an aar file and any suggestions would be appreciated!

First you need to create a GethHtml.aar file. Then deploy it putting service directory under repository in Axis2_home and run axis2server.bat . Now you can get wsdl for your service using http://localhost:8080/services/GetHtml save it as GetHtml.wsdl. Ok try with below command c:\axis2-1.6.1-bin\axis2-1.6.1\bin>java2wsdl -uri <path_to_the_GetHtml.wsdl> -o <path_to_the_output_dir> above -uri and -o both are options you can find all option here On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 1:40 AM, Barney Sperlin <bsperli...@yahoo.com> wrote: >Hello, > Following the quickstart tutorial for POJOs, using the StockQuoteService, >I've been able to use the java2wsdl, ant generate.service, ant generate.client >and ant run.client.
