Error description

• Portal v8.x server runtime target in JAX-WS client wizard
  generate error: Wsimport not found
  
  Using Rational Application developer (RAD) 9.5 to generate a
  JAX-WS web services client (into a portlet project) targeting
  WebSphere Portal 8.5(on WAS 8.5) ,  results in this pop-up error
  from the web services wizard:
  
  â œThe Wsimport Web service tool was not found in the server
  installation. For WebSphere Application Server classic V8.5 and
  V8.0, verify the installation directory and its content. For
  WebSphere Application Server classic V7.0, ensure that the
  appropriate feature packs are installed for JAX-WS Web Services
  support. Once installed, the tool is available in:
  C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\jaxws⠝
  
  
  Recreate:
  
  Recreate this error in RAD 9.5 by attempting to generate a
  JAX-WS Web Services client from any WSDL, against any WebSphere
  Portal 8.x server into any web project. It does not have to be a
  portlet project.
  Gives Error"
  
  "..
  The Wsimport Web service tool was not found in the server
  installation.
  For WebSphere Application Server (WAS) v8.5 and v8.0, verify the
  installation directory and its content.
  For WAS v7.0, ensure that the appropriate feature packs are
  installed for JAX-WS Web Services support.
  Once installed, the tool is available in: {WebSphere Portal
  Home}\AppServer\bin\jaxws
  .."
  
  Note: AppServer is the WAS 8.0 or WAS 8.5 used by Portal
  
  The key was that a  WPortal 8.x server runtime was specified.
  It seems to expect the wsimport to be in
  {WAS 8x server used by WPortal 8.x}\bin\jaxws folder
  , instead of
  {WAS 8x server used by WPortal 8.x}\bin\
  
  wsimport is always in .../AppServer/bin
  There is no .../AppServer/bin/jax-ws folder
  If the server runtime target is some WAS 8.x server there is no
  problem
  
  
  You can recreate this also by creating a web project targeting
  say the Portal80 on WAS85 stub
  in RAD (if Portal 8x stubs and WAS 8x stubs are installed as
  part of RAD server tools), and
  then generating a web service client from a wsdl into that
  project.
  
  Note:
  {RAD Install Dir}/runtimes/portal_v85_stub
  uses
  {RAD Install Dir}/runtimes/was85_stub
  ,for build or generate puposes.
  
  The error will be:
  "..
  The Wsimport Web service tool was not found in the server
  installation.
  For WebSphere Application Server (WAS) v8.5 and v8.0, verify the
  installation directory and its content.
  For WAS v7.0, ensure that the appropriate feature packs are
