Question

I am trying to implement a simple example in axis2. I created the Service class and xml, generated aar and exploded in services directory. I can notice my service and operation sayHello, but when testing the webservice it says no such method sayHello in HelloAxisService which is my class.

Here is the services.xml

<service name="HelloAxisService">

<description>Hello Axis service</description>

        <messageReceivers>
   <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out"
                     class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/>
    </messageReceivers>

    <parameter name="ServiceClass">com.my.axis.HelloAxisService</parameter>

</service>

and here is my class

package com.my.axis;

public class HelloAxisService {

    private String sayHello(String name){

        return "Hello"+ name;
    }
}

my url is http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/HelloAxisService/sayHello?name=dude

Though the service is present in list of services as below, I am getting the error both in the browser as well as Client program using axiom

Available services

Service EPR : http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/HelloAxisService

Answer 1

After some careful observation at the code, found the problem. It was private access modifier for the method sayHello.Changing it to public did the thing for me.
