I created a very basic web service that I am able to successfully call from a web client. What I want to do now is to create a second web service that uses the service exposed by the first one to provide its own functionality. These are my classes/web services: *HelloWorld.java (External Web Service)* {code} package hw1; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style; @WebService @SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC) public interface HelloWorld {     @WebMethod String getHiWorld(); } {code} *HelloWorldImpl.java* {code} package hw1; import hw2.HelloWorld2; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef; @WebService(serviceName = "HelloWorldService", name = "HelloWorld") public class HelloWorldImpl implements HelloWorld {     @WebServiceRef(type = HelloWorld2.class)     private HelloWorld2Service service;     @Override     @WebMethod     public String getHiWorld() {         HelloWorld2 port = service.getHelloWorld2Port();         return "Hi World" + port.getHiWorld();     } } {code} *HelloWorld2.java (Internal Web Service)* {code} package hw2; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding; @WebService @SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) public interface HelloWorld2 {     @WebMethod String getHiWorld(); } {code} *HelloWorld2Impl.java* {code} package hw2; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebService; @WebService(serviceName="HelloWorld2Service", name="HelloWorld2")    public class HelloWorld2Impl implements HelloWorld2 {     @Override     @WebMethod     public String getHiWorld() {             return " again!";     } public HelloWorld2Impl (){} } {code} The error I get is that in HelloWorld.java, the HelloWorld2Service cannot be resolved to a type. I am developing with Eclipse Indigo, I'm using JBOSS 7 AS, and I have the Java 1.7 installed on my pc. Thanks in advance for any help or hint you can provide.
