Unable to generate client from axis served wsdl

[David Brain <db...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've tried generating server stubs for a web service from this wsdl
using WSDL2Java -
http://www.multispeak.org/interface/30j/9_OA_SCADA.asmx?WSDL.  I have
tried this with both axis 1.3 & 1.4 with similar results.

This works fine, and I can deploy the stubs into Tomcat (5.0.7).
However it is not possible to generate a client from the wsdl
generated by the axis service.

e.g:

java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -v
"http://localhost:8080/axis14/services/OA_SCADASoap?wsdl"
- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and
javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

Errors also occur trying to generate the client with wsdl2 from mono.


Does any one have any thoughts as to why this might be? - the
(original) wsdl is fairly thick, but doesn't look all that complex.

Any thoughts, or guidance on where to look next, would be very welcome.

Thanks,

David.
