Hi,

I am new to webservices & was trying to get the HelloWorld example in your Help Tutorial to work. I am following the 'Code-First Service Development'.

When I reach the stage where I launch the WebServices Explorer , the WSDL is still not generated through XFire. i.e.The exploded WAR doesnt have it. At what point does the WSDL auto generated ?

Your tutorial does say : 'The Web Services Explorer will download the auto-generated WSDL document created by the XFire framework and create a list of operations that can be invoked on the service.' I dont see the WSDL generated.

And get this in the status :
IWAB0379E Unable to open http://localhost:8085/HelloWorld/services/HelloWorldService?WSDL.
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
WSDLException
WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://localhost:8085/HelloWorld/services/HelloWorldService?WSDL


Am I missing something ?

--
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench
Version: 5.1.0 GA
Build id: 20061111-5.1.0-GA
Java version "1.5.0_08"
Tomcat-5.0.30

code 500 is an internal server error... can you check your Tomcat console from within MyEclipse and see what exception is getting spit out to the console?

I should have checked the logs before bothering you. The tomcat console logs showed it was missing the xalan jars. I added them to the tomcat path through myeclipse & got it working. Thanks a lot.

I also managed to import the WSDL. The WSDL editor provided in myeclipse is really good.

Where does the wsdl get generated when I type the URL in the Web Services Explorer ? ( You need not investigate if you dont know the answer off-hand )

Happy MyEclipse User

kapilmistry,
The wsdl is generated on the fly by XFire when it sees the ?wsdl query. There is an optional argument that can be specified to direct to an existing XML file (wsdl) but there were some bugs in the current XFire impl that the XFire team is fixing so we don't expose that at this time. It might be back in 5.5.

Hi Tried HelloWorld e.g. of web Service
I m using Tomcat 5

I m getting error---------

Pradeep, it looks like your code is throwing the exception. The problem isn't with XFire or the Web Service, but somewhere in your code.

Yes.I found it i forgot to add xalan.jar in my Project

IWAB0379E Unable to open http://localhost:8080/HelloWorld/services/HelloWorldService?WSDL.
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
WSDLException
WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: http://localhost:8080/HelloWorld/services/HelloWorldService?WSDL


and i have added xalan.jar in to library..still i am getting above error..can let me know the cause...

Mohan,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you give us some information to investigate the issue ?

1. Can you please copy paste the Installation Details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ?

2. Which server are you working with ? Can you clarify if the server, on which your webservice is deployed, is running or not?

3.Are there any console messages displayed when launching the web service? Please paste them here for us.

Hi swapna,,

Mohan,

Thank you for the details. From the installation details, it looks like you are on an older version of MyEclipse.

I strongly recommend upgrading to MyEclipse 10.6 to take advantage of over 2-3 years of development work and several new features added to MyEclipse.
The license you hold currently is valid for 10.6 too as our licenses are time based and not version based.

You can download MyEclipse 10.6 from here :
https://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download&version=ME

Click the 'Download' button to download the offline installer. Alternatively you can use Pulse to install MyEclipse 10.6. Take a look at this FAQ on how to install :
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-25976.html . Select 'Eclipse - Indigo' from the Explore list and follow the wizard.

Let us know if you see any issues.
