unable to compile class in web svc tutorial

[Mark]

In the recent DevX tutorial written by Kyle Gabhart, he includes the following
line of code in both of his examples:

call.setProperty( call.NAMESPACE, NAMESPACE_URI );

When I try to compile, however, I get the following error:

"CurrencyExchange.java": Error #: 300 :
variable NAMESPACE not found in class
org.apache.axis.client.Call at line 33,
column 30

Any idea why I would be getting this error? The "call" object, by the way,
comes from:

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;

Thanks,

Mark

Just prior to the story being posted on the DevX website, Apache released
a new version(beta1) of Axis. The article assumes the alpha3 version.

If you use the beta1 rather than alpha3 version, then you must place the
following packages in their classpath:
axis.jar, jaxrpc.jar, commons-logging.jar, axis-tt-bytecode.jar All of these
files can be found in the lib directory of the axis distribution.

Also, the CurrencyExchange example need to be modified in the following way:

-Add one import statement: javax.xml.rpc.namespace.QName;
-Remove the line: call.setProperty( call.NAMESPACE, NAMESPACE_URI );
-Change the line that reads: call.setOperationName( OPERATION_NAME );
to instead combine the Namespace URI and the operation name using a
qualified name (a QName object):

call.setOperationName( new QName( NAMESPACE_URI, OPERATION_NAME ) );


The changes to the WidgetConsumer example are considerably more involved:

-Add an import: import org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.*;
-Add another import: import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;
-Remove the line: call.setProperty( call.NAMESPACE, NAMESPACE_URI );
-Change the line that reads: call.setOperationName( OPERATION_NAME );
to instead read: call.setOperationName( new QName( NAMESPACE_URI, OPERATION_NAME
) );
-Change the serialization declaration by removing the call.addSerializer()
method and replace it with this:
call.registerTypeMapping(
Widget.class,
qname,
new BeanSerializerFactory( Widget.class, qname ),
new BeanDeserializerFactory( Widget.class, qname ) );
-Change the addParameter() call to this:
call.addParameter( "arg1", qname, ParameterMode.PARAM_MODE_IN );
-You also must explicitly declare the return type:
call.call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );

That should do it. The full source code for these examples for the beta
version of axis will be posted tonight or tomorrow morning. Just return
to the article and you will be able to download them.

Thanks.
