error creating client bean

[sufyanshoaib]

I have added these client configuration into Config:

cxf {
  client {
    paymentRequestClient {
        wsdl = "https://sandbox.demo.com/payments.wsdl"
        namespace = "com.demo.soap"
        clientInterface = com.demo.soap.PaymentPortType
        serviceEndpointAddress = "https://sandbox.demo.com/payments.php"
    }

  }
}

After running grails wsdl2java grails has generated the required Java classes against the provided WSDL except for PaymentPortType class.

On running the application, I am getting this error:

Web service client paymentRequestClient cannot be created before setting the clientInterface=[:] and serviceEndpointAddress=https://sandbox.demo.com/payments.php properties

What could be the possible issue?

I had exactly the same problem, solved it by creating empty class from clientInterface.
