Cannot find Service character constructor (URL, QName, WebServiceFeature [])

Question

I am trying to create a maven module web_service_client with the parent maven module ism-maven. This module contains the generated WS classes. I have not changed anything. I am using IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.2.

This is my pom.xml web_service_client.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <parent> <artifactId>ism-maven</artifactId> <groupId>sk.tuke.ism</groupId> <version>1.0</version> </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <artifactId>web_service_client</artifactId> </project> 

After I compiled maven from web_service_client, I got this error:

 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project web_service_client: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: [ERROR] \Users\Marek\Dropbox\ism-maven\web_service_client\src\main\java\sk\tuke\ism\webclient\Service1.java:[46,8] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol : constructor Service(java.net.URL,javax.xml.namespace.QName,javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature[]) [ERROR] location: class javax.xml.ws.Service [ERROR] \Users\Marek\Dropbox\ism-maven\web_service_client\src\main\java\sk\tuke\ism\webclient\Service1.java:[54,8] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol : constructor Service(java.net.URL,javax.xml.namespace.QName,javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature[]) [ERROR] location: class javax.xml.ws.Service [ERROR] \Users\Marek\Dropbox\ism-maven\web_service_client\src\main\java\sk\tuke\ism\webclient\Service1.java:[62,8] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol : constructor Service(java.net.URL,javax.xml.namespace.QName,javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature[]) [ERROR] location: class javax.xml.ws.Service [ERROR] -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

[ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException 

I found here a few articles about this error, but I am new to this field and I could not solve this problem.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

The generated code seems to be using JAX-WS 2.2. You can try to override the default version and set target = 2.1 or target = 2.0 in your pom.xml:

  <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>wsimport</goal> </goals> <configuration> <target>2.1</target>

I had the same issue and franpas answer helped me fix this. Here is my solution that creates classes correctly and compiles. I also use the local installation of maven 3.1 on Linux.

  <plugin> <groupId>org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>wsimport</goal> </goals> <configuration> <target>2.1</target> <verbose>true</verbose> <!-- Fix naming resolution due to ChangeOrderResponse duplicate stanza --> <args> <arg>-B-XautoNameResolution</arg> </args> <wsdlDirectory>src/main/wsdl</wsdlDirectory> <wsdlFiles> <wsdlFile>changeorder.wsdl</wsdlFile> </wsdlFiles> <packageName>com.whatever.service </packageName> </configuration> </execution> </executions> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-tools</artifactId> <version>2.2.8</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-api</artifactId> <version>2.2.11</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>
