maybe you can take someone's Visual Studio 2010 or better and use the add service reference menu to suck up the wsdl file and
create stubs and skeletons maybe it gives you insight about what is wrong with your wsdl. Josef Von: Talley, Angelina [mailto:angelina.tal...@nexusis.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 23.

I'm working to parse a WSDL given to me by a customer, so unfortunately I don't have much control over its format and content. But, so far, I've not been able to get it to work with WSDL2Java. I've tried both adb and xmlbeans data binding options, and both get the same exception. I've tried searching for this error, but so far no luck. The WSDL is quite large so I've not posted it here. Is there someplace or something in the WSDL I should be looking for that could cause this error as seen below? Or, is there anything that can be done to get past it? Thanks in advance for any assistance! This is the exception I am getting: Using AXIS2_HOME: C:\axis2-1.6.2 Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_22 Retrieving document at 'Epic.wsdl'. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.axis2.i18n.Project ResourceBundle). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
