Where to use wsgen?

[James Dekker]

Hello,

I am learning JAX-WS 2.0 and don't seem to know where (what directory - source or classes) to properly use wsgen against my WebService class...

Create a sample document literal based WebService:

package hello;

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService
public class HelloWorld {

	public void sayHello() {
            System.out.println("Welcome to JAX-WS 2!");
        }
}

Created the Publisher like this:

package hello;

import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;

public class Publisher {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8080/jaxws/hello", new HelloWorld());
	}
}

Using Eclipse Helios, I automatically build both of these files as *.classes underneath the corresponding classes directory.

So, from the filesystem, my project looks like this:

/code/jws_sample
              |
              src
                 |
                  hello
                      |
                      HelloWorld.java
                      Publisher.java
              |
               classes
                        |
                        HelloWorld.class
                        Publisher.class

In which directory would I run wsgen?

When I tried it inside:

/code/jaxws_sample/src/wsgen -cp . hello.HelloWorld

Received:

Class not found: "hello.HelloWorld"

Usage: WSGEN [options] <SEI>

where [options] include:
  -classpath <path>          specify where to find input class files
  -cp <path>                 same as -classpath <path>
  -d <directory>             specify where to place generated output files
  -extension                 allow vendor extensions - functionality not specified
                             by the specification.  Use of extensions may
                             result in applications that are not portable or
                             may not interoperate with other implementations
  -help                      display help
  -keep                      keep generated files
  -r <directory>             resource destination directory, specify where to
                             place resouce files such as WSDLs
  -s <directory>             specify where to place generated source files
  -verbose                   output messages about what the compiler is doing
  -version                   print version information
  -wsdl[:protocol]           generate a WSDL file. The protocol is optional.
                             Valid protocols are [soap1.1, Xsoap1.2],
                             the default is soap1.1.
                             The non stanadard protocols [Xsoap1.2]
                             can only be used in conjunction with the
                             -extension option.
  -servicename <name>        specify the Service name to use in the generated WSDL
                             Used in conjunction with the -wsdl option.
  -portname <name>           specify the Port name to use in the generated WSDL
                             Used in conjunction with the -wsdl option.

Examples:
  wsgen -cp . example.Stock
  wsgen -cp . example.Stock -wsdl -servicename {http://mynamespace}MyService

It actually does show me the WSDL in a browser and also when I tried to issue the wsgen command from $MyProject/classes it actually did create a jaxws folder with the SayHelloResponse.class files but not the SayHelloResponse.java files?

Would appreciate it if someone could help me...

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
