The issue I’m finding if that want to unpack the classes (using option -u), the class AdminServiceException does not extend java.lang.Exception, and therefore the code doesn’t compile, since that it can not throw that class. So the situation is like this:

If I pack the classes(no option -u), the class is defined as follows:

    public class AdminServiceException extends java.lang.Exception{....}

but if I use option -u, the class is generated as follows:

    public  class AdminServiceException
    implements org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBBean{....}

which is not correct, since it can not be thrown. Any ideas?

EDIT:

I just modified the WSDL to make it simplier. It’s as follows:

I created the code using wsdl2java as follows:

/opt/eco/ecoprd/axis2-1.6.1/bin >> ./wsdl2java.sh  -u -uri test2.wsdl -or
 Using AXIS2_HOME: /opt/eco/ecoprd/axis2-1.6.1
 Using JAVA_HOME:  /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_16
Retrieving document at 'test2.wsdl'.

But when I try to compile the code:

/opt/eco/ecoprd/axis2-1.6.1/bin >> javac -cp $CLASSPATH  src/com/rsa/csd/ws/admin/*.java
src/com/rsa/csd/ws/admin/Fault.java:95: cannot find symbol

I tried generating client with your 2nd wsdl using Eclipse IDE. It generated and compiled all well. That means wsdl is good to go.
Generated AdminServiceException.java

public class AdminServiceException extends java.lang.Exception{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1333311238212L;

    private com.rsa.csd.ws.admin.UserAdminServiceServiceStub.Fault faultMessage;


        public AdminServiceException() {
            super("AdminServiceException");
        }

        public AdminServiceException(java.lang.String s) {
           super(s);
        }

        public AdminServiceException(java.lang.String s, java.lang.Throwable ex) {
          super(s, ex);
        }

        public AdminServiceException(java.lang.Throwable cause) {
            super(cause);
        }


    public void setFaultMessage(com.rsa.csd.ws.admin.UserAdminServiceServiceStub.Fault msg){
       faultMessage = msg;
    }

    public com.rsa.csd.ws.admin.UserAdminServiceServiceStub.Fault getFaultMessage(){
       return faultMessage;
    }
}

For command line use : ./wsdl2java.sh -g -ssi -uri test2.wsdl
You don’t have to mention -u, it will generate seperate classes for databinders implementing binding you have used.
