Mule & Eclipse's WSDL issue

Question

so I have implemented a very simple webservice using eclipse and generated its WSDL using the CXF which is the framework used in Mule as well. However, when I try to publish that same service in Mule using the previously generated WSDL it stops due to something like "BadUsageException: -p invalid character" which is comes from the CXF. I have tried to the java classes from mule using an Axis generated WSDL but no luck with the CXF generated.

Here is my wsdl:

    <wsdl:definitions xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:tns="http://snippet/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" name="SnippetService" targetNamespace="http://snippet/">

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Tested your WSDL with the Anypoint Studio July 2014 Release. It correctly creates the Web Service classes you expect. I used JavaSE-1.7 and a 3.5.1 Mule engine.

How I did it: 1. Drag a HTTP endpoint into a new flow 2. Drag a CXF endpoint behind 3. Open CXF properties and create the java classes using "Generate from WSDL" at the Service class property
