Compiling *.java for cfinvoke

Question

I'm trying to connect to a web service that uses
complex-within-complex data types for its parameter.
I am constantly getting errors trying to invoke the web
service and it has been recommended by someone on this list (Mr.
Andreyev) that I do the following:
1. Use wsdl2java tool (CF_HOME/runtime/bin) supplying URL to
webservice WSDL to create java code.
2. Create java classes by compiling java code created in step
1
3. Create jar file(s) from classes in step 2
4. Put jar file in CF classpath or just copy it to
CF_HOME/lib directory
5. Using <cfscript> create required objects, arrays and
other arguments and supply them to web service method call.
This is not as simple as it sounds (well, not to someone
who's only interaction with java is in a cup).
1. Use wsdl2java tool (CF_HOME/runtime/bin) tsupplying URL to
webservice WSDL to create java code.
This has been done. The tool created a series of subfolders
under C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin which ends in a folder called
schema
Inside schema are six other folders that each contain 1 and
111 .java files
[EDIT] I think I have part of the problem worked out.
2. Create java classes by compiling java code created in step
1
This has not been done.
My command line in javac is: javac @filename -verbose -source
1.4
I get a total of 100 errors and 33 warnings
All the errors are on this theme:
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin\...\AccommodationRoomT
ype.java:10: package org.apache.axis.encoding does not exist
public class AccommodationRoomType implements
java.io.Serializable, org.apache.
axis.encoding.SimpleType {
The common theme in the error messages is:
package org.apache.axis.something does not exist
Am I not using javac correctly or is it just battling to
compile the code generated by wsdl2java?
Thanks

Hi there Mr. Andreyev
[EDIT]. You are a prince amongst men, sir. All .class files
have been created
This version of your line worked
javac -source 1.4 -deprecation -classpath
C:/CFusionMX7/lib/axis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/xml-apis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/saaj.jar;C:/C FusionMX7//lib/jaxrpc.jar;.
@C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/bin/au/com/qantas/www/schema/allfiles.txt
It threw
warnings, not
errors. I was reading them as the same thing.
Thank you for your kind assistance. On to step 3!
[END EDIT]
Using the command line as you suggested threw up a new set of
errors but I think I know what is causing them.
The first time I tried your script I modified it as follows:
javac -deprecation -classpath
C:/CFusionMX7/lib/axis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/xml-apis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/saaj.jar;C:/C FusionMX7//lib/jaxrpc.jar;.
C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/bin/au/com/qantas/www/schema/aCalypsoV1/*.java
Note that there is a space between the period (.) and the
start of the path to the java files.
On running this i received back many many error messages
pointing out that
"as of release 5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be used as
an identifier (use -source 1.4 or lower to use 'enum' as an
identifier)"
I then modified your line as follows
javac -source 1.4 -deprecation -classpath
C:/CFusionMX7/lib/axis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/xml-apis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/saaj.jar;C:/C FusionMX7//lib/jaxrpc.jar;.
C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/bin/au/com/qantas/www/schema/aCalypsoV1/*.java
This also gave me a bunch of errors in the vein of:
"C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin\au\com\qantas\www\schema\aCalypsoV1\ContactDetails.jav
a:38: package au.com.qantas.www.schema.CustomersV1 does not
exist
public void
setEmailAddress(au.com.qantas.www.schema.CustomersV1.EmailAddres
s emailAddress) {"
The .java files that were created by wsdl2java were grouped
into six folders under /www/schema
Every error message references one of these other folders. It
looks like the compiler is trying to reference them.
I have these folders:
www/schema/aCalypsoV1
www/schema/AmadeusBookingsV1
www/schema/ChannelsV1
www/schema/CustomersV1
www/schema/FinancialsV1
www/schema/ReferenceV1
I tried creating a text file with an absolute path to every
single .java file in those six files in it (naming it
www/schema/allfiles.txt) and modifying your script as follows:
javac -source 1.4 -deprecation -classpath
C:/CFusionMX7/lib/axis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/xml-apis.jar;C:/CFusionMX7/lib/saaj.jar;C:/C FusionMX7//lib/jaxrpc.jar;.
@C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/bin/au/com/qantas/www/schema/allfiles.txt
This threw a set of errors in this theme
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin\au\com\qantas\www\schema\ChannelsV1\Channel.java:32:
w
arning: as of release 5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be
used as an identifi
er
(use -source 5 or higher to use 'enum' as a keyword)
Using -source 1.4 throws errors saying use source 5 or higher
Using -source 5 or leaving it out altogether says use source
1.4
I am stuck.
