Eclipse compiler

Hi all,

I'm facing a strange problem with Eclipse version 3.1.2 (pointing to JRE of JDK 5.0 update 6). I used WSDL 2 Java to create stubs for a web-service. When I add the stubs to my project, after adding a reference to axis.jar (1.3), I get compilation errors in the places where the auto-generated stub uses anything defined in the org.apache.axis.enum package because it starts recognizing 'enum' as a keyword, not as a part of a package-name.

Anybody ever faced this before? Any settings in the Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler or in Project -> Properties -> Java Compiler can fix it?

Thanks,
Mayank.

No :)

Actually, kawas almost has it. Set the compiler to generate 1.4 compatible code, and compile for 1.4. Are you absolutely sure that you're using axis 1.3?

Yes I downloaded 1.3 latest version from the Axis web site. I am using many Java 5 classes in the project and its a big application so you think it makes sense to set the compiler to 1.4 compatibility?

Guess what? It does not give this problem on another system which has the same Java version and same Eclipse and same Axis version as mine (another guy in my team who installed all this from the same downloads which I had made).

I checked the project-specific compiler settings on both machines and every setting is the same $#$!@#%!$@%^$!@^%$!@%!^@&%^!@&%^!&@^&!@^!

Hi mayankeagle,

have you tried to reinstall all (in the same order as on the machine where it works) ?

Mayank S

ASKER

Yes, that is what we'd done on both machines.... uninstalled all older versions of Java, install JDK 5.0 update 6 and then copy Eclipse 3.1.2.

In your source code you have to replace package
org.apache.axis.enum
by
org.apache.axis.constants

As a matter of fact, that is what I observed. It uses Style and Use which are defined in enum. When I changed them to org.apache.axis.constants, the errors were (obviously) gone. I was about to ask that whether this will mean any change in functionality or not, and you just confirmed that there will not be any problems, so I'll accept that as an answer.

However, perhaps this is a bug in WSDL2Java that the generated the stub contains calls to org.apache.axis.enum and not constants :)

fargo

nice to know how to fix this.

fargo, I just noticed that on the link you posted, somewhere it says that WSDL 2 Java will generate stubs containing constants instead of enum in the package-name. Though it didn't happen in my case (wonder why), I guess you deserve some points for this too. Hang on, I'll ask Venabili to re-open this.

fargo

it's ok mayank. I think others help was better than mine.

No, I think you deserved some points for this too, now don't make me change my mind :)

Webstorm

I also think fargo deserved some points.

Don't dare do this...otherwiseeeee

Leute, thanks for your kindness. But don't do this.
