Simple WSDL, getting a ConnectException - eclipse

Question

i really need help with the simpliest things of WSDL.
i got the following WSDL, which is basically just generated code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions name="MyFirstWSDL"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/MyFirstWSDL/"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/MyFirstWSDL/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/">
<wsdl:types>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/MyFirstWSDL/">
<xsd:element name="getName">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="in" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="getNameResponse">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="out" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>
<wsdl:message name="getNameRequest">
<wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:getName"></wsdl:part>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="getNameResponse">
<wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:getNameResponse"></wsdl:part>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:portType name="MyFirstInterface">
<wsdl:operation name="getName">
<wsdl:input message="tns:getNameRequest"></wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output message="tns:getNameResponse"></wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:binding name="NewBinding" type="tns:MyFirstInterface">
<soap:binding style="document"
transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />
<wsdl:operation name="getName">
<soap:operation
soapAction="http://www.example.org/MyFirstWSDL/getName" />
<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>
<soap:body use="literal" />
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
<wsdl:service name="MyFirstService">
<wsdl:port name="MyFirstPort" binding="tns:NewBinding">
<soap:address location="http://localhost:8197/MyFirstService/" />
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
Now, when generating a provider and testing the service with the "Web Services Explorer" I keep getting the following exception:
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
java.net.ConnectException
Connection refused: connect
So, do you have any clue or suggestions to solve this problem?
thx in advance, matt

Answer 1

Probably because http://localhost:8197/MyFirstService/ is not answering from where you call it.
You can try to check this by telnetting there or simply putting the Address in a browser window.
Though as it is localhost, you should know if you started the server, that is accepting the web service client or not.
