Axis2 NoSuchMethodError

[Remi Desreumaux]

Hello, I am kind of surprised of this mistake.

Following this tutorial: http://www.tidytutorials.com/2009/02/web-services-example-using-axis-2-and.html, I block at the client execution.

C:\remi\dev\Axis2TomcatHelloworldold\client_bin>java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH%;. -Djav
a.ext.dirs=D:\downloads\axis2-1.4.1-bin\axis2-1.4.1\lib Axis2TomcatHelloWorldClient

The function is called here into the axis2-kernel-1.5.1.jar package, we can successfully find org.apache.axis2.client, Stub.class and its method addAnonymousOperations().

Into my AXISCLASSPATH, I got axis2-kernel-1.5.1.jar included...

How can I think this ? thanks for help

Read the error message carefully: the class that's missing the addAnonymousOperations method is not Stub, but helloworld.Axis2TomcathelloworldStub.

[Amit ChaudhariC]

Hi,

Also , check the echo command output and the command by which you are running the client.

Please check whether D:\downloads\axis2-1.4.1-bin\axis2-1.4.1\lib exists? as i can see the echo command points to a diff axis path altogether.

Regards,
Amit

[Remi Desreumaux]

I know but despite that the function is called from helloworld.Axis2TomcathelloworldStub, it makes reference to an other class in a library.
Look at the code of helloworld.Axis2TomcathelloworldStub here : (in client_src)

http://codediaries.com/code/examples/Axis2TomcatHelloWorld.zip

     public class Axis2TomcathelloworldStub extends org.apache.axis2.client.Stub {
....
 addAnonymousOperations();

[Lester Burnham]

The helloworld.Axis2TomcathelloworldStub class you posted neither has nor calls the addAnonymousOperations method. Somewhere you have mismatched class and/or library files (as is invariably the case when encountering NoSuchMethodError). Start by deleting all your class files and recompiling them. Make sure you're using the same Axis version for creating the stubs, compiling your code, and running your code (from your post it looks like you're mixing Axis2 1.4.1 and Axis2 1.5.1 - you can't do that).

[Amit ChaudhariC]

Hi Remi,

I see no issues with the code .
I am sure the classpath and using proper versions for compiling and running the code with solve your issues.
To set the classpath correctly i suggest you refer the script provided under AXIS2_HOME/bin

Also in the classpath you mentioned , please check the section in the bold.

I guess it works ! thank you so much
