Out of interest, why do you say that > it is dangerous to drive the WSDL from the Java? 1. its dangerous in terms of interop: you cuold write the java code then complain that the perl far end cant handle things like a HashTable being sent back; if you write the IDL first you know there are problems the moment you try to describe a hash table in xml schema. 2. its dangerous from a maintenance perspective as suddenly your implementation (the java) is driving the specification (the WSDL). with a separate 'golden' WSDL file, you can fiddle with the impl and be sure you dont accidentally change the spec. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
