webservice with apache axis using eclipse

[anuja Edathu]

Hi all,
I am trying to develop a sample webservice using apache axis, and tomcat.
I am using the eclipse IDE, I am having the axis plugins in eclipse.
According to the help given in eclipse im creating a bottom-up webservice,
I have created a Simpe Hello.java file in dynamic web project.

public class Hello {
public String sayHello(String name){

return "Hello " + name;

}
}

This is the error i get when try to create webservice, At bottom it is showing publishing to TomcatServer IWAB01991PublishingServer.



IWAB0014E Unexpected exception occured.

Can any one tell me what this error and how to resolve it?

Thanks & Regards

protocol = http host = null

I'm not familiar with Eclipse, but apparently you need to figure out how to set the protocol and host correctly (might be localhost, unless the service gets deployed to another machine). That should be covered by the Eclipse (or web service plugin) manual.

Thank you for the reply Ulf,
But I have already mentioned the server as tomcat 5.5v and its path where it asked for it.

From the error message it seems to be a problem of accessing the web service, not deploying it. No path of any kind is mentioned in the error message, just the end point address (host and protocol).

[naveen]

what do you got in the WSDD file?

and where you able to generate the WSDL file ?

it is getting the Hostname as NULL, i am not sure how are you creating the webservice

Do you specify the HOSTNAME, while creating the webservice using Eclipse ?

@Naveen:

Welcome to JavaRanch. You probably missed the naming policy that's in effect here. Have a look at this page and adjust your display name accordingly. Thanks.

[anuja Edathu]

Thank you for the reply Naveen,

In eclipse it doesn't prompt for the host name but it asks for the server side deployment selection.I have given the webservice run time as "Apache Axis",
and server as "To.mcat v5.5 Server @ localhost.
I've also given the Web Service URI as"http://localhost:8080/WebServicesTutorial/services/Hello" which is the service im intending to deploy to tomcat.

All the deploy.wsdd ,Hello.wsdl,HelloService.java,HelloServiceLocator.java,
HelloSoapBindingImpl.java,HelloSoapBindingStub.java are been created by the eclipse itself.
I don't know where i can set the hostname except iam mentioning the server .


Any help would be highly appreciated .
Thanks in advance
