Getting problem while creating Java client from command prompt

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a java client for a web service. I have wsdl file. I am running following commands from a batch file
set AXIS_HOME=C:\axis
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\commons-discovery-0.2.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\jaxrpc.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\saaj.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\axis.jar
java -classpath %CLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -v -o d:\generate C:\axis\PQSSProvisioning.wsdl

I am getting following Exception

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin>java -classpath ;C:\axis\lib\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar

Please someone help me out, I am new to web service. Please suggest me some solution to create java client for the web service.

Hi!
It looks like you are missing the commons/logging JAR on your classpath.
The class org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory is not found.
I see that you have included it on your classpath - is there some conflict somewhere?
Best wishes!

Hi Ivan,

I have eclipse 3.4 installed on my machine. As far as conflict is concerned, what it could be. I am unable to resolve. Please help.

Hello!
Try looking at the following options instead of fiddling around with a batch file:
- Command line or Ant task: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_4_1/CodegenToolReference.html
- The Axis Eclipse plugin: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_4_1/eclipse/wsdl2java-plugin.html
- Maven WSDL2Java plugin: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_4_1/maven-plugins/maven-wsdl2code-plugin.html

Since you are already using Eclipse, the plugin is, most likely, the easiest alternative.

Check JBoss Tattletale for a tool that can:
* Identify dependencies between JAR files
* Find missing classes from the classpath
* Spot if a class is located in multiple JAR files
* Spot if the same JAR file is located in multiple locations
* With a list of what each JAR file requires and provides
* Verify the SerialVersionUID of a class
* Find similar JAR files that have different version numbers
* Find JAR files without a version number
* Locate a class in a JAR file
* Get the OSGi status of your project
* Remove black listed API usage

Best wishes!

you missed the close % of AXIS_HOME

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

change to

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
