Question

I\'ve been trying to import the following web service: http://soap.genome.jp/KEGG.wsdl with ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/wsimport:

wsimport -version
JAX-WS RI 2.1.6 in J         


        

Answer 1

I found (what is apparently) a workaround from this bug report: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116987

Basically you need to add schemaLocaion to your import definition:

<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
        schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />

Answer 2

soapenc:Array indicates a non-standard style of web service encoding called "RPC Encoding". This is a very old style that used to be popular on Microsoft platforms; it's obsolete (i.e. it's not part of the WS-I spec) and not supported by modern tools like JAX-WS.

The only java tool that I know of that supports RPC encoded web services is Apache Axis 1.
