can someone help me to fix this issue?

Answer 1

I fixed this error by simply downgrading the JDK version I was using. Right-click on your project > Properties > Build > Compile > Java Platform > Set it to JDK 1.8.

Answer 2

Sometimes it will happen because of class not found exception(click wsgen error and then you can see more details- check from which point build failed) Check the class in sei tag (in pom.xml) refers to the correct service. it should point the correct path from the source(src). This corrected my issue.
