Axis2 1.4 Problem in generating code

[Rizwan Patel]

Hi All,

I am trying to generate the code using axis2 utility wsdl2java.

Below is the error message which popped up with the stack trace as shown :

 E:\softwares\axis2-1.4.1\bin>wsdl2java.bat -uri E:/AccountService.wsdl  -o E:/Release9.1/CR18164/source -d xmlbeans -b

Please assist me where to look for resolving the above issue.

"A processing instruction (PI) is a tag that encodes specific application information which begins with <? and ends with ?>"

At the very beginning of a WSDL you'll often find the XML declaration:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Sounds like it's reading something like

<?xml?>

and getting confused.

It's difficult to tell any more without seeing the WSDL.

Thanks Peer Reynders,
As par your guidance I had checked with the first line for PI in my wsdl
and I found that there is one "space" is extra at the starting of the PI and which causing this problem
I had removed that extra space from start and its working fine now.
Thank you very much

You may have blank space/blank line before <?xml.....>

Just remove that and build again. You should be fine..
