Just had an interesting battle with the wsgen tool and the -cp arg.
Scenario
I have a jar library external to my web service (it is a custom library
that many web services will feed off)
if in the -cp arg I put the physical path to the library (not packaged,
extracted) and try run the wsgen tool it tell me it can find files but
if I put the library in the same directory that I am running the wsgen
tool from it worked.
It also works if I put it in the PATH environment variable.
example
project.company.ClassName (library file)
in a directory structure
drive:\classes
company.webservices.ServiceEndPointClass (webservice file)
in a drictory structure
drive:\webservice
WSGEN
drive:\webservice>wsgen -cp drive:\classes
company.webservices.ServiceEndPointClass -wsdl
will return an error stating that the class (ClassName) cannot be found
(this is based on the assumption that ClassName is being used by the web
service).
Am I doing something really stupid? Is this normal behaviour?
