Hi Robert – Thank you for your reply. Can you point me to where I can find the actual source code for version 1.8.2? I downloaded the Source distribution along with the binary distribution for version 1.8.2 from https://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/download.html, however the source code is not included in the associated zip file and it seems to require a Maven build, which doesn’t work for me.
Is there an easier way to get the source code? If not, I will attempt to build it again and provide you with the Maven error log. Thanks for your help! -Debra From: robertlazarski <robertlazar...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 9, 2025 12:07 PM To: deb...@drummondgroup.com.invalid Cc: java-user@axis.apache.org Subject: Re: Need help with Axis 1.0 to Axis 2 Migration This is my best guess at what is happening in the code you posted - with the caveat that I haven't used Axis 1.x nor a WSDL in my own projects in many years, albeit I help maintain both areas of code. The WSDL2Java error indicates it is expecting to conform specifically to the RPC / Literal style - FYI, Doc / literal is somewhat more common. See the source file SDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder and isRPC() that generates the error. There seems to be some type of conflict between Doc / literal configuration and RPC / literal The XML schema pasted shows some complex types and elements with a name attribute. Seems wrong for RPC / literal. I don't see "binding style=" or keywords like "encoded" or "literal" in what you posted but that could be a clue. I suggest analyzing the arguments you are using for the auto generation on both the WSDL and Java sides. The Ant arguments on one side at least needs to change - not necessarily both but possible so.

I have been reviewing the User Guide and the related documentation for Axis 2 for several weeks now, however I couldn’t find any documentation that addresses my specific questions, so I hope someone in this group can assist me. Basically, my current Axis 1.0 application has a server implementation and an interface that is converted into client-side code. The client then makes RPC calls to specific methods through the generated client stubs. My deploy.wsdd file (snippet below) contains several <beanMapping> elements for my custom return types, so it is my assumption that I need to use xmlbean data binding. <deployment xmlns=http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/ xmlns:java=http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java > <service name="VendorSvc" provider="java:RPC" > <parameter name="className" value="com.dgi.insitusvc.ws.VendorSvcWS"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <beanMapping qname="dgiNS:GenericResult" xmlns:dgiNS="urn:vendorsvc.dgi.com<http://vendorsvc.dgi.com>" languageSpecificType="java:com.dgi.insitusvc.itf.GenericResult"/> ...

Is it possible that I generated the WSDL incorrectly or have called the WSDL2Java with incorrect parameters? I did try to generate the source code using ‘mvn clean install’ (using Maven 3.9.2) to see if I can figure out where it is failing however, I cannot get past the plug-in exceptions even after following the instructions in the readme to build the plugins individually. Thank you for whatever advice that you can provide. -Debra
