Trouble renaming an existing element in Axis.

[Raja Sagar Panamgipalli]

Hi All,

We have a webservice and its corresponding Java Bean classes(generated out of Apache Axis WSDL2Java emitter) for each element in the incoming Soap message body.

Now the problem comes when i've have to rename an element in the soap body, how should i make Axis runtime invoke the same webservice without regenerating the entire Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java.

I have tried renaming the Java Bean class and all its corresponding references in deploy.wsdd, server-config.wsdd etc.

The exception is get is ...

CAUSED BY INITIAL EXCEPTION]
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.userException
faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in XXXXXXXX - YYYYYYYYYYY



Hope i'm clear.
Appreciate quick response.....SOS...


Thank you.

Hi,
resolved the error, renaming the element works,but must ensure we hit it on the right place.
I'm using Axis 1.1, so simply renamed the bean class<element in WSDL>,actually generated from WSDL2Java its references in the server-config.wsdd.

Checked if the wsdl was updated by accesing the web-root/services, and alas could see my renamed element published in the wsdl.

Thanks,
Sagar
