Cannot find symbol constructor Service(URL,QName,WebServiceFeature[])

Question

I am trying to make a maven module web_service_client with parent maven module ism-maven. This module contains generated WS classes. I did not change anything. I am using IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.2.

This is my pom.xml of web_service_client.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <parent>
        <artifactId>ism-maven</artifactId>
        <groupId>sk.tuke.ism</groupId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </parent>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <artifactId>web_service_client</artifactId>


</project>

After i ran maven compilation of web_service_client, I got this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project web_service_client: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

I found here some articles about this error but I am new in this field and I could not resolve this problem.

Thanks for your help.

It seems that the generated code uses JAX-WS 2.2. You could try to override default version and set target=2.1 or target=2.0 in your pom.xml:

            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>wsimport</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <target>2.1</target>

Thanks for answer, but problem was in my IDE maven configuration, where I switch from internal maven resources to my own maven instalation and the problem was resolved. – user1554427 Mar 07 '13 at 17:39
After trying so many things this finally worked! Thank you franpas! – Lenymm Sep 10 '13 at 07:20

I was having the exact same problem and franpas answer helped me to fix it. Here is my solution that creates the classes and compiles correctly. I am also using a local maven 3.1 installation on linux.

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons</groupId>
            <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.3</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>wsimport</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <target>2.1</target>
                        <verbose>true</verbose>
                        <!-- Fix naming resolution due to ChangeOrderResponse duplicate stanza -->
                        <args>
                            <arg>-B-XautoNameResolution</arg>
                        </args>
                        <wsdlDirectory>src/main/wsdl</wsdlDirectory>
                        <wsdlFiles>
                            <wsdlFile>changeorder.wsdl</wsdlFile>
                        </wsdlFiles>
                        <packageName>com.whatever.service
                        </packageName>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
