How to modify a WSDL generated by Axis2

843833Apr 14 2009 — edited Jun 17 2010
Hello,
I'm using Axis2 to expose a java method as a web service.
I want to modify the .wsdl automatically generated by Axis2.

What I did was:
- Access the .wsdl in Firefox (http://myurl.com/mywebservice/services/myservice?wsdl) and save it as an .xml file.
- Open the XML file in Wordpad, change the description of the service, then save it as myservice.wsdl
- Uploaded the wsdl to Tomcat_home/webapps/myservice/WEB-INF/services/myservice/META-INF
- Restart Tomcat

Then, when I display the list of the available services on the server, my service is displayed as a "faulty service" and when I click on it I get the following message:
This Web axisService has deployment faults
Error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.wsdl.Operation.getExtensionAttributes()Ljava/util/Map; at org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.populateOperations(WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:1295) at org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.populatePortType(WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:592) at org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.populateEndpoints(WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:469) at org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.populateService(WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:363) at org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL11ToAllAxisServicesBuilder.populateAllServices(WSDL11ToAllAxisServicesBuilder.java:107) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.repository.util.ArchiveReader.processWSDLFile(ArchiveReader.java:248) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.repository.util.ArchiveReader.processFilesInFolder(ArchiveReader.java:469) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.repository.util.ArchiveReader.processWSDLs(ArchiveReader.java:292) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.ServiceDeployer.deploy(ServiceDeployer.java:67) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.repository.util.DeploymentFileData.deploy(DeploymentFileData.java:136) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.doDeploy(DeploymentEngine.java:597) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.repository.util.WSInfoList.update(WSInfoList.java:144) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.RepositoryListener.update(RepositoryListener.java:330) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.RepositoryListener.checkServices(RepositoryListener.java:227) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.loadServices(DeploymentEngine.java:131) at org.apache.axis2.deployment.WarBasedAxisConfigurator.loadServices(WarBasedAxisConfigurator.java:284) at org.apache.axis2.context.ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContext(ConfigurationContextFactory.java:82) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet.initConfigContext(AxisServlet.java:516) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet.init(AxisServlet.java:436) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet.init(AxisAdminServlet.java:55) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1139) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:966) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:3956) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4230) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:760) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:740) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:544) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory(HostConfig.java:927) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories(HostConfig.java:890) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:492) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1150) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:311) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:120) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1022) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:736) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1014) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:448) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:700) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:552) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:295) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:433) 
So my question is did I miss a step to replace the WSDL?
How can I replace the WSDL automatically generated by Axis2?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you explain what you have changed, or even better, can you post both the unmodified and the modified wsdl. Furtermore, have you saved the document with the right encoding. With wordpad, I am always afraid it changed the encoding. You'd better use notepad or better Textpad or a similar text editor.

it is a clasloading problem. axis2 use wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar, change to wsdl4j-1.6.x.jar should solve the problem
