Getting exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.neethi.Constants.isPolicyElement

Question

I'm connecting to a web service over SSL. I imported the certificate and added it to the java keystore. Then i created the client stub for the web service using wsdl2java.

when i use this in a program and try to invoke the service it throws follownig (part of the exception)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.neethi.Constants.isPolicyElement(Ljavax/xml/namespace/QName;)Z
    at org.apache.axis2.util.PolicyUtil.getPolicyChildren(PolicyUtil.java:287)
    at org.apache.axis2.deployment.AxisConfigBuilder.populateConfig(AxisConfigBuilder.java:157)
    at org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentEngine.populateAxisConfiguration(DeploymentEngine.java:857)
    .
    .
    .

my code is kind of like this

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //generated by wsdl2java
    Clientstub stub = new ClientStub(endpoint); 
    .
    .

    //req is the passed parameter
    stub.requestServic(req);        

}

I think i have to import some security policies. if so can some one help me with it(any tutorials or directions).

Thanks in advance

Looks like you are using older version of neethi.jar, can you add latest version of neethi into classpath. You can find the method org.apache.neethi.Constants.isPolicyElement() from neethi-3.0.1.jar onwards.

You may download this version from
