Problem with servicegen and how to convert java classes to webservices

Question

I am a beginner and am trying to convert all my java code into webservices,I have
a java class Test.java and number of other third party libraries and my own java
files that are reffered in Test.java. I want to expose the public methods in Test.java
as webservices.
the serivegen part of My build.xml is as below
<servicegen
destEar="${APPLICATIONS}/${ear_file}"
warName="${war_file}">
<service
javaClassComponents="com.verizon.Test"
targetNamespace="${namespace}"
serviceName="Test"
serviceURI="/Test"
generateTypes="True"
expandMethods="True">
</service>
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</servicegen>
When i run ant it complains:
[servicegen] weblogic.xml.schema.binding.BindingException: Invalid class received:
interface org.apache.crimson.tree.ElementFactory loaded from file:/apps/opt/crimson.jar!/org/apache/crimson/tree/ElementFactory.class.
All classes that will be serialized or deserialized must be non-interface, non-abstract
classes that provide a public default constructor
I have no clue,Why is Servicegen introspecting the third party class file also?I
just need the public methods in Test.java exposed and Test.java will just use
the third party library.
also,is there a way to tell servicegen to include all these java files X,Y,Z to
the war file/ear files but expose only the public methods of X in the WSDL.
Please help
thanks

Hi Bruce,
Thanks very much for the insight u provided.Yes one of my public methods was returning
a element factory.
But let me ask my question this way:
Is there a way to tell servicegen to take only the specified public methods in
a class to make them as webservices?
by default servicegen is taking all the public methods..,i workaround i found
is to deploy the webservice manually by writing the web-services.xml to include
only the required public methods.
thanks

Hi Suresh,
Does your Test.java have a public method that returns the element
factory of an XML document, like "public ElementFactory
getElementFactory ();" or such?
If so, you may want to check out the supported build-in and non-built-in
data types:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/webserv/assemble.html#1060696
Concerning your last question, you can use the excludeEJBs, includeEJBs
(in combination with the ejbJar attribute) to specify which non-built-in
data type components should be generated. Or if you use the
javaClassComponents then simply use a comma separated list of class
names.
Hope this helps,
Bruce
