axis : No operation name specified!

[Stefan Geelen]

I checked the internet and there were some posts of people having the same problem but none the answer

The problem comes up with following method exposed as webservice:

public String getContextPath() {
return this.getServletContext().toString();
}

and defined in the services.xml as:

 
<operation name="getContextPath">
        <messageReceiver  class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" />
    </operation>    
   

When genering the client stubs using wsdl2java I get following warning:

org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaStubWriter writeOperation
WARNING: Message {http://services.bbox.com}getContextPathRequest has no parts    

Is this normal behavior ?

Anyone some idea how to solve this ?

Thanks

Me again,

adding a parameter to the method solves the problem, so it becomes:

    public String getContextPath(String dummy) {
        return "how to know the context path ?";
    }
    

I added the dummy parameter.

I get another error but that seems that the webservice cannot extend HttpService. I'll remove that one, giving me another problem that I'll discuss in another topic.
