wsimport fails when trying to create client service library

I am trying to create a client library to access Mantis from java. The problem is that I am getting an error and I don't know why.

Running this command: 

wsimport http://www.mantisbt.org/demo/api/soap/mantisconnect.php?wsdl

simply fails. It is supposed to create some kind of client libraries for access to the service from java, but I get this error: 

[ERROR] "Use of SOAP Encoding is not supported. 
SOAP extension element on line 1,075 in http://www.mantisbt.org/demo/api
/soap/mantisconnect.php?wsdl has use="encoded" "

I looked on internet and there are vague references to this error, that it seems as an error of an directive, but it is not the case: I've tried to fix this problem with a downloaded version of the xml and it didn't work.

I think I could need some kind of catalogue for achieve this generation succesfully, could it be?? If so, does anyone how to create this?? I made some search but my knowledge of web services in general is too limited to achieve that.

Thanks in advance,

Solution

  • Is using Axis 1.4 an option? If it is, we have deployed Axis 1 SOAP stubs for MantisBT on Maven central.

    Alternatively there is a source project on Github at jerr/mantis-ws-client which should how to build artifacts with JAX-RPC.
