Maybe I didn't understand your question, but you can expose a class as a web service without doing very much at all. You can just write a simple WSDD: <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"; xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";> <service name="{service name goes here}" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="className" value="{qualified class name goes here}"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="{method name goes here}"/> </service> </deployment> copy the relevant class files into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/Axis/WEB-INF/classes and then do: java org.apache.axis.admin.AdminClient -p {Tomcat port no} {WSDD file} Axis will do everything without any need for extra coding on your part. You can then find an autogenerated WSDL for your web service at http://localhost:{Tomcat port no}/axis/services/{service name}?wsdl which you can use with WSDL2Java to generate your client stubs. Rich.

My question is, given that I have a class which I need to expose as a web service, Do I need to have an interface over it to deploy it as a web-service? I need to have the stubs/skeletons to be generated so that the client accessing my service can do so easily. I have been looking at the WSDL2Java command, which generates a interface of the port name.So I need to make sure that the port name is different than that of the impl class(by using the -P option in Java2WSDL),but then before deploying the Web service,I need to modify the impl class to have an "implements port-name interface" in it. This is so because the skeleton always tries to do an, PortNameInterface impl = new ImplClassName(), kind of instantion. Even if the use the '-S false' option in WSDL2Java command a stub is still generated, which will implement the PortNameInterface. So is it right to assume that if one wants a RMI type(involving stub/skeleton) calling mechanism for the client to call a web service, we need to have an interface for the main class for that web-service??
