Eclipse with tomcat : java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when I try running a web service client

Question

I am developing a SOAP web service with Axis2/Eclipse/Tomcat and I'm hitting java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when I try running the web service client.

I have two projects on Eclipse: MyWebService, which contains the actual source code and from where I generate the wsdl; and MyWebServiceClient, which contains the proxy, service locator, soap binding stub, etc. (generated automatically by Eclipse)

The java methods that are later exposed as SOAP methods work normally when they're run as a Java application.

I changed the code a few times and replaced the method bodies with dummy contents (e.g., return 1 or return true straight away, without any logic processing). The stubs have worked perfectly.

In this sense one thing I noticed is that the problem only happens when I instantiate a class from "MyWebService" project on my JSP file (which sits on the Client project). And this led me to another thought: where are the references to "MyWebService" classes in the "MyWebServiceClient"? (I couldn't find any...)

The client was generated automatically, so I believe I am missing something here... If the references to the WS are missing, what would be the correct way to add them into MyWebServiceClient?

Thanks

Answer 1

The hibernate JARs hadn't been included to the web project (WEB-INF/lib), only to the Eclipse project

Thanks Leos.
