wsgen and App Engine

Question

I'm trying to execute the wsgen command to create a Web Service. My command lines are:

PATH=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin
wsgen -cp ".\war\WEB-INF\classes" -wsdl -keep -r ".\war" -d ".\war\WEB-INF\classes" -             s ".\war" "com.example.prototipo21.Greeting"

And this error appears: warning: Cannot find annotation method 'valueStrategy()' in type 'javax.jdo.annotations.Persisten': class file for javax.jdo.annotations.Persistent not found. error: Could not find class file for com.example.prototipo21.Greeting 1 error 1 warning error: compilation failed, errors should have been reported

I think the problem could be I'm integrating a Datastore Application in a Web Service application so my class has different annotations. For example:

@WebService
public class Greeting {

@PrimaryKey
@Persistent (valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key key;

@Persistent
private User author;

...

@WebMethod  
public Key getKey() {
    return key;
}
@WebMethod
public User getAuthor(){
    return author;

....

you know what I mean?? Any idea will be very useful!! Thanks!

Those are my commands and the entire trace:

error: compilation failed, errors should have been reported

Answer 1

The error has no issues with the code you have written. The issue is with the classpath. If you examine the error you can distinctly see:

Could not find class file for com.example.prototipo21.Greeting1

Fix your classpath so that the class is available to wsgen and you might get a step ahead and stumble in next set of errors :) Good luck

Answer 2

I was having the same error. The reason why you are getting this error is that you have to give wsgen a reference to the libraries that GAE are using as well.

Just modify the classpath to include the other jar files. Note that in Unix we use colon ":" to separate directories and in Windows we use semi-colon ";".

(Just change the directory path accordingly)

class=com.sample.MyWebService
