Failed to parse the WSDL

Question

I am trying to generate src from wsdl using following tutorial but getting exception while wsimport.

http://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-ws/jax-ws-wsgen-tool-example/

wsimport -keep -verbose http://localhost:7001/poc-war/ServerInfoService?wsdl

Getting following error :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin>wsimport -keep -verbose http://localhost:7001/poc-war/ServerInfoService?wsdl

[ERROR] Server returned HTTP response code: 504 for URL: http://localhost:7001/poc-war/ServerInfoService?wsdl

Failed to read the WSDL document: http://localhost:7001/poc-war/ServerInfoService?wsdl, because 1) could not find the document; /2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <wsdl:definitions>.

This is a networking issue. You could open the wsdl in your browser copy and paste the text into a new .wsdl file and regenerate it from the hard drive URL vs a network URL.

I have had times where network security has made it impossible for me to reach WSDL's using some development tools so keeping a copy locally can work. I admit it is a work around at best but 502 is not easy to troubleshoot without a lot more information.
