Hi

Something is missing in the guidelines of wsprovide at these pages. The example with the Echo.java, wsprovide will throw an "Error: Could not load class"...

https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossWS-JAX-WSTools#BottomUp_Using_wsprovide

https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13543

That's the suggested Echo.java

package echo;
 
@javax.jws.WebService
public class Echo
{
   public String echo(String input)
   {
      return input;
   }
}

That's the suggested compile and wsprovide command

[root@rhel6 test_wsprovide]# javac -d . -classpath jboss-jaxws.jar Echo.java
[root@rhel6 test_wsprovide]# find .
.
./echo
./echo/Echo.class
./Echo.java
[root@rhel6 test_wsprovide]# /usr/share/jbossas/bin/wsprovide.sh -w echo.Echo
Error: Could not load class [echo.Echo]. Did you specify a valid --classpath?

This one works  (note: no -classpath jboss-jaxws.jar for javac, but a --classpath=. for wsprovide.sh):

[root@rhel6 test_wsprovide]# javac -d .  Echo.java
[root@rhel6 test_wsprovide]# /usr/share/jbossas/bin/wsprovide.sh -w --classpath=. echo.Echo
Could not find log4j.xml configuration, logging to console.

java2ws -s /tmp/test_wsprovide/output -classdir /tmp/test_wsprovide/output -d /tmp/test_wsprovide/output -verbose -wsdl -cp /tmp/test_wsprovide/./: -wrapperbean -createxsdimports echo.Echo
java2ws - Apache CXF 2.4.6-redhat-1

IMHO, the documentation needs to be fixed, or wsprovide should have a default classpath of "."
