Like Rich says, WSDL2Java does very little syntax checking. It DOES do some, however. And you can actually run something to 'validate' your WSDL:
java org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Emitter <WSDLfile> This is an undocumented feature and it will stay undocumented. But I frequently find it useful when writing tests.

Ideally validating any referenced schema too. I'm "assuming" that this utiity is already providing a reasonable amount of checking prior to generation stage. I know your going to ask why not then just delete the generated code. And the only answer I have is convenience :-) Rick Rineholt "The truth is out there... All you need is a better search engine!"
