Question about java.lang.InstantiationException.

[Bi...@idx.com]

Hi,

I defined an interface: com.idx.lw.webservices.inbox.InboxRetrievalService 
like the following:

public interface InboxRetrievalService {
    public String getInboxList(CISContext cisContext, InboxRetrievalBean 
inboxRetrieval) throws CISException;
}

where class CISException extends RemoteException implements Serializable;

I then created a class: 
com.idx.lw.webservices.inbox.InboxRetrievalServiceJP like the following:

public class InboxRetrievalServiceJP implements InboxRetrievalService {
    public InboxRetrievalServiceJP() throws CISException {
    ......
    }

    public String getInboxList(CISContext cisContext, InboxRetrievalBean 
inboxRetrieval) throws CISException {
    ...... 
    }
}

I used Ant to generate the WSDL file:

<target name="generate-inboxRetrieval-wsdl" 
depends="compile-inboxRetrieval" unless="inboxRetrieval.wsdl.uptodate">
    <delete file="${axis-gen}/${inboxRetrieval-wsdl-file}"/>
    <java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL" 
classpath="${all-jars}" fork="on">
        <arg value="-o${axis-gen}/${inboxRetrieval-wsdl-file}"/>
        <arg 
value="-l${axis-host}/cis-inbox/services/InboxRetrievalService"/>
        <arg 
value="-n${axis-host}/cis-inbox/services/InboxRetrievalService"/>
        <arg value="-PInboxRetrievalServiceJP"/>
        <arg value="-SInboxRetrievalServer"/>
        <arg value="com.idx.lw.webservices.inbox.InboxRetrievalService"/>
    </java>
</target>

then I generated the stub classes from WSDL:

<target name="generate-inboxRetrieval-stubs" 
depends="generate-inboxRetrieval-wsdl">
    <java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" 
classpath="${all-jars}" fork="on">
        <arg value="-v"/>
        <arg value="-o${axis-gen}/src"/>
        <arg value="-pcom.idx.sage.wsstubs"/>
        <arg value="-t"/>
        <arg value="${axis-gen}/${inboxRetrieval-wsdl-file}"/>
    </java>
</target>

I then created an unit test as following:

public class InboxRetrievalWebServiceTest extends TestCase {
    ......
    public InboxRetrievalWebServiceTest(java.lang.String testName) {
        super(testName);

        try {
            ......
            inboxRetrieval = new 
com.idx.sage.wsstubs.InboxRetrievalBean();
            inboxRetrievalService = new 
InboxRetrievalServerLocator().getInboxRetrievalService();
            ......
        }
        catch (javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException jre) {
            if (jre.getLinkedCause() != null)
                jre.getLinkedCause().printStackTrace();
            throw new junit.framework.AssertionFailedError("JAX-RPC 
ServiceException caught: " + jre);
        }
        catch (CISException e1) {
            throw new junit.framework.AssertionFailedError("CISException 
Exception caught: " + e1);
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void testGetInboxList() {
        try {
            ......
            inboxRetrievalService.getInboxList(cisContext, 
inboxRetrieval);
            ......
        }
        catch (CISException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

When I run my unit test, I got the following error:

AxisFault
 faultCode: 
{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
 faultSubcode: 
 faultString: java.lang.InstantiationException: 
com.idx.lw.webservices.inbox.InboxRetrievalService
 faultActor: null
 faultNode: null
 faultDetail: 
        stackTrace: java.lang.InstantiationException: 
com.idx.lw.webservices.inbox.InboxRetrievalService

This seems to me that the Axis tried to create an object based on the 
interface InboxRetrievalService, not based on the actual implementation 
InboxRetrievalServiceJP.

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? Or we 
just can't use an interface for the web service directly.

BTW, if I used a concrete class directly to generate WSDL, it works just 
fine.

Regards!
