Running webservice that is generated from wsdl2java cxf

Question

I'm trying to run webservice that is generated from wsdl using cxf.

1. get sample wsdl (hello_world.wsdl)
   • http://cxf.apache.org/docs/developing-a-consumer.html
2. Generate java code from wsdl
   • 'wsdl2java -ant -server -d Server hello_world.wsdl'
   • http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html
3. Since service implimentation is missing in generated code, I got GreeterImpl from here
   • http://alvinalexander.com/java/jwarehouse/apache-cxf/distribution/src/main/release/samples/configuration_interceptor/src/demo/stream/server/GreeterImpl.java.shtml
   • Change package name properly.
4. 'ant compile' is successful.
5. 'ant GreeterServer' is not successful.

What am I missing?

Not sure what would cause this. It seems like somehow, your JVM is returning a null property name from System.getProperties().propertyNames(). Prior to calling into the cxf code, can you try something like:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Enumeration<String> systemKeyEnum = (Enumeration<String>)System.getProperties().propertyNames();
while (systemKeyEnum.hasMoreElements()) {
    String key = systemKeyEnum.nextElement();
    String val = System.getProperty(key);
    System.out.println(key + ": " + val);
}

and seeing if that actually works?
