Axis1 does have the "generic" WSDL2 classes and the more specific Java ones,
and was in fact designed with exactly the same idea (generating stubs/skels
for multiple languages). I would prefer something like "WSDLCodeGenerator"
or "WSDL2Code" over "WSDL2WS", just because I think it'd be easier to
understand.

Hi Tom!
> Renamed the WSDL2Java to WSDL2WS
Sorry to jump in late here. I am really not a fan of naming the command
WSDL2WS. What does 'WS' mean? Is this generating Java code? Notice
that Axis 1.x has the WSDL2 structure, which allows you to implement
other language back ends.
The reason it was changed is because it allows multiple target langs to
be generated. Right now Ajith has it generating C# stubs as well and has
run Axis2 inside .Net with IKVM and used the stubs from other .Net
stuff.
I am -1 on changing the name of a tool as basic as WSDL2Java.
I'm ok with having a convenience class called WSDL2Java that sets the
target language to Java. However, we do need a name for the basic thing
which is capable of producing whatever language. (The code generator
uses XSLT stubs actually.)
What name do u suggest for the basic thing?
Sanjiva.
