Hi Dheeraj, I think the top-down approach assumes that you know sufficiently about web services. I think .jws -> java2wsdl -> handcode is the way to go about with top-down approach (assuming that you started with web services 1 month back). This way you are not exposed to details in the beginning and as your understanding increases you can start tweaking and then finally move to handcode WSDL.
True, java2WSDL wouldn't create the complex type hierarchy. When I suggested possible ways of generating WSDL I thought of simpler(normal) cases. And to add further .jws would also fail with complex class hierarchy. I am responding even though the discussion has gone far because I felt that I should clear certain assumptions.
