Transfer objects. I create a class for each required transfer. In some cases, more than one domain class maps to a Web class.

Robert,

My application has an existing domain/service layer that does not map 1:1 with the entities that will be used on the wire. My process thus far has been to create a schema for the web service input/output and generate the java objects that map to them. What I am left with is still two different object models. Just like we use Hibernate/Ibatis to map between objects and tables, I would like to map between these two layers of objects. This way, the web service layer can change independently from my existing domain/service layer. What are you using for your mapping layer?

I use a mapping layer to go from WSDL generated to Domain Objects. Since this is a legacy system and the domain objects are reversed out of a database with Hibernate we have information in the domain objects that is not relevent to the Web service interface.

If you have the ability/desire to tightly couple the Web service to your domain, then maybe you don't need to do a mapping. I'ld be nervous.
