Re: Axis2 JAX-WS: The service class cannot be found for this AxisService

Hello,
is this issue solved in the latest Axis2 implementation?
I am using Axis2 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT and I am trying to deploy a JAX-WS web
service and I still get

java.lang.RuntimeException: The service class cannot be found for this
AxisService.
    at
org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.JAXWSMessageReceiver.receive(JAXWSMessageReceiver.java:101)

Here is my services.xml file

<serviceGroup name="SavaTest-Service">
    <service name="MyEchoService">
        <description>
            This is the Echo service.
        </description>
        <parameter name="ServiceClass">ro.savatech.ws.impl.EchoService
        </parameter>
        <messageReceivers>
            <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-only"
               
class="org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.JAXWSMessageReceiver" />
            <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out"
               
class="org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.JAXWSMessageReceiver" />
        </messageReceivers>
    </service>
</serviceGroup>

I have tried to deploy the service both as a .jar file into
WEB-INF/servicejars or as an .aar into WEB-INF/services, with the same
results.

Best regards,
Dan.
