[SOLVED] Using wsimport from windows - url = http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx?WSDL

Using wsimport from windows - url = http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx?WSDL

I get this error when I used the URL

http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx?WSDL

Solution

This error suggests the compiler needs GeoIP.java in order to progress - which should (technically) be given by your WSDL. I had this error, and it was because I did not have permissions to write to the directory (in this case, you're writing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin - simple test would just be to try and run mkdir TEST in this directory) so GeoIP (for example) could not be written.

Specify a directory using the -d switch or change your working directory to one where you have permissions.
