Java – NoSuchMethodError on creating a web service client

axis2javanosuchmethoderrorwebservice-client

I'm new to java and web services and axis2. I recently created a web service using some tutorials. When I first follow the tutorial eclipse let me create a client. But when I try to create a new project and a new web service client it gives NoSuchMethodError. Which exactly looks like this:

Exception occurred while code generation for WSDL :

im using axis2-1.6.1 and it says java compliance level is 6
I googled it but couldn't find a relevant solution to this problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Best Solution

I had the same problem and solved it by checking out my WEB-INF/lib.
I had two of any AXIS2 jar files in my WEB-INF.
It also happens if jar files from two different versions of axis2 were copied to WEB-INF.

Hope it works :-)
