Netbeans axis2 Java Web Service: Results not shown with variables in URL

[Chew Wei Kian]

Hi

I am having a problem with setting up a web service using netbeans axis2. I followed the tutorial here to host a web service.
http://netbeans.org/kb/69/websvc/gs-axis.html

I was able to see deploy the web service to server and test in browser. However, the input variable was not shown in the result.
URL:
http://localhost:8084/axis2/services/helloWS/hello?name=XYZ

Browser result:
- <ns:helloResponse xmlns:ns="http://helloWS/xsd">
<ns:return>Hello, this is .</ns:return> //<--- the result should be "Hello, this is XYZ."
</ns:helloResponse>

Code Snippet:
public String hello(String name) {

return "Hello, this is " + name + ".";
}

I am not sure what was wrong.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
