JAX-WS: Eclipse Web Service wizard generates wrong stubs

Question

I have a SOAP web service with JAX-WS. There I got a method createTransaction(String, String, String, int, String[][]).

When I create a new Web Service client with Eclipse, it however generates stubs with the method createTransaction(String, int) which is how the service used to be defined in an older revision. When looking into the WSDL the create method should actually expect 5 parameters instead of 2:

<message name="createTransaction"> <part name="arg0" type="xsd:string"/> 
  <part name="arg1" type="xsd:string"/> 
  <part name="arg2" type="xsd:string"/>
  <part name="arg3" type="xsd:int"/>
  <part name="arg4" type="ns1:stringArrayArray" xmlns:ns1="http://jaxb.dev.java.net/array"/>
</message>

So, how comes Eclipse generates a stub with only 2 parameters?

Sounds like something in your workspace has not been updated for your new method signature. You can try doing a clean build of the project, deleting any generated WSDL or XSD files and rebuilding the client. Closing and reopening the project(s) has also helped me previously.

I doubt there is such a blatant defect in the Eclipse tooling so I'd suggest trying to make sure nothing is saved with the old method signature.

As a last resort you could create a new project and move over only your own files (nothing generated by Eclipse) and try again.
