How to use axis2 code generator?

I want to build a web service client and after some research i tried to use axis2Java in Eclipse.

I wonder how this works, I have the WSDL of the web service I want to access and i went through all the steps in the wizard of code generator, including the success popup at the end.

I thought it would generate some Java classes in order to be used in the construction of the SOAP request to the web service but I don't seem to find any.

I wonder what am I doing wrong with this? Any help?

Thanks

It sounds to me that you only imported the WSDL-file but did not create the Web Service client itself.

Here is what you have to do to make this work in Eclipse:

First open the "Import"-Dialog

File => Import => General => File System
Click "Next"

Select the WSDL you want to import

Click the "Browse"-Button next to the "From directory" drop down menu.
Select the folder which contains the WSDL and click "OK"
Check the WSDL file in the right window (Make sure the file has the ending ".wsdl" so Eclipse recognizes it as such)
Click "Finish"

Create a Webservice Client

File => New => Other => Web Services => Web Service Client
Click "Next"
Click the "Browse"-Button next to the "Service definition" drop down menu
Click another "Browse"-Button next to the URI-Textfield
In the Resource browser open your project and select the previously imported WSDL-file and click "OK"
Click "OK" and "Finish"

Now the classes should be available in your src-directory.
