tool to generate the WSDL. Sometimes wsgen
can fail to generate the WSDL (for example, because of invalid annotations). In most of such cases, the output of the wsgen
tool will be logged to the geronimo.log
file. However, in some cases the output might not get logged and it might be necessary to enable extra logging to see the full output of the wsgen
tool. To enable full logging of the wsgen

In the meanwhile, you need to get the server's certificate, and then add it into your local key store(Geronimp Administration Console can be used to export the server's certificate).
You also need to set the following properties before starting the server.
