I keep getting a "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError" for a stub getter method.

I Updated my XSD to include a new custom type as shown below.

<xs:element name="dataSyncRequest" type="tns:dataSyncRequest"/> <xs:element name="dataSyncResponse" type="tns:dataSyncResponse"/> <xs:complexType name="dataSyncRequest"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="base_Vals" type="tns:Base_Type" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="Base_Type"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="base_uid" type="xs:integer" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="status" type="xs:string" nillable="false" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="last_upd_ts" type="xs:dateTime" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="error_count" type="xs:integer" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="error_desc" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="appt_Vals" type="tns:Appt_Type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="Appt_Type"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="appt_i" type="xs:integer" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="agnt_i" type="xs:integer" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="agncy_i" type="xs:integer" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="line_Auth_Vals" type="tns:Line_Auth_Type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xs:element name="pl_Subpl_Vals" type="tns:Pl_Subpl_Type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="Line_Auth_Type"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="line_auth_i" type="xs:string" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="appt_i" type="xs:integer" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="approval_ind" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="rejection_reason_txt" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="effective_date" type="xs:date" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="expiration_date" type="xs:date" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="termination_date" type="xs:date" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="termination_reason_txt" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="termination_initiated_by_gu_id" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="created_ts" type="xs:date" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="created_by_gu_id" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="updated_by_gu_id" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="updated_ts" type="xs:date" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="Pl_Subpl_Type"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="u_appt_pl_id" type="xs:string" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="appt_id" type="xs:integer" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="pl_id" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="dataSyncResponse"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="BaseUID" type="xs:integer" nillable="false" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="executionStatus" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="errorDescription" type="xs:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType>

But then when i try to execute the below method :

	private void mapApptData(DataSyncRequest parameters) {
		try {
			List<ApptType> apptTypeVals = parameters.getBaseVals().getApptVals();
			if (apptTypeVals != null) {				
				for (ApptType apptTypeVal : apptTypeVals) {					
					System.out.println("apptTypeVal.getApptI() = " + apptTypeVal.getApptI());
				}					
			}
		} catch (Exception ex) {			
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}		
	}

I get the below Exception at "parameters.getBaseVals().getApptVals();" line in above method. I already crosschecked and see that the "getApptVals()" method is there in the "BaseType" class. I am not sure why i am getting this exception.

I am getting this exception in WAS 7.0.0.19 server. Any Ideas; Could someone please assist?

[Amardeep Singh Paneser]

The issue is now resolved; I found out that there was old compiled version of the class getting deployed on the server. Once we deleted the old classes; the issue was resolved.
