Error creating Webservice Client in JAVA for ABAP Webservice(WSDL file)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have created a webservice from a funtion module in the backend.

Using soamanger I downloaded the wsdl file using "Open WSDL document for selected binding" link.

I tested this web service in backend and it is working fine.

Now I am trying to generate JAVA cilent for this webservice using Eclipse and Axis,but getting the following error

IWAB0399E Error in generating Java from WSDL:  WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy):

Hi,

I am also getting the same error while generating the client class from IBM Rational Application Developer IDE.

Here is the error I get.

WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy'.:

Did you find out the cause of this issue?

Hi Vijay,

IBM WSDL parsers don't seem to handle WSDL policies too well. This is why the previous poster also encountered the same error, I think the Axis framework started at IBM & should in theroy have an IBM WSDL parser.

Try using the standard (no ws policies) WSDL for client generation. Do this by changing the WSDL URL, replace the 'ws_policy' bit of the URL to 'standard'.
