Why wsimport tool for generating files from wsdl file not working showing error code 400

I am working on webservices to integrate with the application and as a newbee needs more input.

Can any anyone tell me the issue why wsimport throws error on console : Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL:

http://localhost:8084/service/HelloWorld.wsdl

Following is my code below :

HelloWorld.java

//Service Endpoint Interface
@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC)
public interface HelloWorld {

    @WebMethod String getHelloWorldAsString(String msg);

}

HelloWorldImpl.java

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.pack.service.HelloWorld")
public class HelloWorldImpl implements HelloWorld{

    @Override
    public String getHelloWorldAsString(String msg) {
        return "Hello, "+msg+ "  How are you ?" ;
    }

}

HelloWorldPublisher.java

//Endpoint Publisher
public class HelloWorldPublisher {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println("Webservice Running ... ");
        Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8084/service/HelloWorld", new HelloWorldImpl());
    }

}

Now, when i want to generate stub files from wsdl file. It gives the following error :

Note : Using command prompt and entering the following on command line :

wsimport -keep http://localhost:8084/service/HelloWorld?wsdl

At command line it shows >>

D:\Personal\WebService>wsimport -keep http://localhost:8084/service/HelloWorld?wsdl

Solution

I had the exact same issue when trying to generate the client side from the command line. After switching of my proxy settings, the error went away and I successfully generated the client files.

Disable Proxy Settings.
