'wsimport' is not recognized error in command prompt

Question

I am new at web-services. I am trying to generate the stubs using this command:

wsimport -d ./build -s ./src  -p com.ECS.client.jax http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl -b jaxws-custom.xml

I am getting this error in the cmd:

wsimport is not recognized

My Java environment variable system path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0. What am I doing wrong?

---

I resolved this issue by using wsimport from netbeans not from cmd...but I still don't know why I couldn't use it from cmd.

Answer 1

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin

This is where my jdk is, works for my system:

1. Go to My computer >> right click and select properties.
2. On the properties tab select Advanced system settings (Windows 7)
3. Click enviroment variables
4. select path and click edit option
5. add
   ";C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin"
   at the end.
6. Done.

Answer 2

wsimport and all other java commands are present in jdk bin directory and hence you need to update your PATH variable to include:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin"

instead of

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0"
