The most common practice is to provide access to the WSDL and let
consuming users implement their own clients. But if the service will
be used internally, and you want to increase consistency in the way
people use it, you could provide a pre-generated client package. I
think it's up to you whether you tar it up or distribute jars.

If you're using a registry or repository, you can use it to enable
access to any artifacts that you might provide. (wsdl, schema,
policies, code, tests, documentation, SLAs, etc.)

Hi,

I just wanted to ask how people are distributing the web services stubs.

For example, let say you generated your stubs using xmlbeans databinding
option.
The wsdl2java tool generates the following files/directories for a web
service :

- src
- resources
- build.xml

What is the common practice ?

A.) tar the files listed above and distribute the tar file,  OR
B.) build them first and distribute the jar files
(<web-service-name>-test-client.jar and XBeans-packaged.jar) OR
C.) just define a way to get access to the wsdl files and let the clients do
the rest

I know all the options listed are viable options, but I just want to see if
there are different opinions/practices
people follow.

Thanks,

Gul
