Question

I have eclipse 3.5.1 installed along with the apache axis2 plug in…

I’m trying to generate my web service by going file -> new-> axis2 service archiver…
I go through the steps and select the bin directory of my project and when I get to the last step and type in the name of the class and click load it says “Error: Class not found”

I have tried about every combination of of paths etc. Not sure what to do next.
Seems like a huge headache trying to build a single soap service… any recommendations…
I was looking forward to only having to write the classes and running that to develop the SOAP service.

Answer 1

What exact class is missing?

And did you follow a guide like this one?

Initially I used Axis2 Codegen Wizard and Axis2 Service Archiver. Initially I got few error dialogs like java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

^{(not the same error, I know)}

Though I found out way to fix it by adding few jars to the lib folder of the pluggin and modifying the pluggin.xml, it was not really useful as it just generate the required files and there was no possibility I could find to debus the services.

(the rest of the guide describe his development environment)
