Eclipse gives me this error: Description Resource Path Location Type Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.axis2:axis2-java2wsdl-maven-plugin:1.5.4:java2wsdl (execution: default, phase: process-classes) pom.xml /MavenAxis2WS line 20 Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem

If i write on command line mvn package and mvn process-classes, eclipse generates the wsdl file, but it is empty. I can't to create a web service. Please help me. I need a complete example in which every step is completly described. I need to create a project with this folders: src/main/java. I hope someone can help me !!

Thanks !!!!

Edit:

if i remove process-classes obtain this error: Description Resource Path Location Type Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.axis2:axis2-java2wsdl-maven-plugin:1.5.4:java2wsdl (execution: default, phase: process-classes) pom.xml /MavenAxis2WS line 20 Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem. If i remove

<execution>
        <goals>
          <goal>java2wsdl</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>

i haven't any errors but eclipse doesn't create wsdl when i run mvn package or mvn process-classes.

MavenAxis2WebService class is:

package com.ratra.ws.MavenAxis2WS;
public class MavenAxis2WebService {
  public String ping(String text) {
    if (text == null) {
      return "Service is up and available";
    }
    return "Service is up and available, message: " + text;
  }
}

when I try to run http://localhost:8080/MavenAxis2WS/services/MavenAxis2WebService?wsdl obtain HTTP Status 500 - javax.servlet.ServletException: org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpException. I post web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
   http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
  version="3.0">
  <display-name>MavenAxis2WS</display-name>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

We have already read this guide. Do you have a complete example? — pippo15

On this blog you can learn how to make a client part, so you have the wsdl and try to communicate with an existing server http://briansjavablog.blogspot.fr/2013/01/axis2-web-service-client-tutorial.html.

On this one, you have nothing, you will be the server http://sunnyratra.me/tag/apache-axis2-maven-example/

There are simple but complete examples, hope this help
