[AXIS2] Web service that extends an abstract class

[Laurent Even]

Hi all,

Does someone managed to publish a web service in axis 2 that extends an 
abstract class containing the method to call.

Here's an example to illustrate:
package pack;
import pack.MyAbstractClass;
public class MyWebService extends MyAbstractClass{
    public MyWebService (){
   };
}


public abstract class MyAbstractClass{
   public OMElement read(OMElement xml){
   ...
   }
}

my services.xml

   <service name="mywebservice" >
       <parameter name="ServiceClass">pack.MyWebService</parameter>
       <operation name="read">
           <messageReceiver
   class="org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOutMessageReceiver"/>
       </operation>
    </service>


Here an extract of the wsdl generated by axis2
<*<wsdl:types />*
 <wsdl:message name="*readRequest*" />
 <wsdl:message name="*readResponse*" />
- <#> <wsdl:portType name="*soldemvtPortType*">


I'm getting the following error when calling the web service:
...
The ServiceClass object does not implement the required method in the 
following form: OMElement read(OMElement e)
...


Is there a constraint with abstract classes?

Thanks in advance
