Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply, I will try the name space to package now, I was looking at this yesterday on the axis web pages. Do you examine the wsdl file first and replace any namespaces? The problem is that although we provide an api that expect other people use to provide an interface for use to call, we don't specify what their package structures should be. SO one provider could use the format (1) com.z.y.x and the other could use (2) com.c.b.a.
Would this cause problems with invoking the service? Say I used the wsdl for (1) above to generate the stubs and override the package structure, but then I use the same stub classes to call service (2) which would have a different namespace to package structure.

I have a number of potential end-points too, and I instantiate one 'Service' object (from the generated code) for each one. I pass the Service object with the end-point I'm interested in to my framework/code doing the actual call on this stub. So far I have avoided touching the generated code at all so as to minimize the coupling. I package the generated code in one archive, and my framework in another to allow me to regenerate the stub as needed. I user Spring to hook up the necessary resources. As for package naming, use the -ns2p option in wsdl2java: -ns2p ns1=pkg1,ns2=pkg2 Specify a custom package name for each namespace specified in the wsdls schema. Hope this helps!

This ensures that any users will provide the same objects and the same service name that we will call. What we would like to do is to create a set of generic stubs that we can use to make a call to any provider, by looking up the end point in the database for a particular system. So far I have in part achieved this by calling getService() and passing in an endpoint URL. When I look at the code generated with wsdl2java it is not completely generic though, I have overridden the package structure to look like 'stub.generic.ltc' but the namespaces in the generated classes still map to the packages defined by the provider (I guess this is due to the WSDL namespaces). Has anybody done this sort of thing before? Is it possible? Am I approaching this in the right way if it is possible? And should I be editing the generated code to remove any namespaces? Ideally the situation we would like to end up with is one set of stubs generated and placed into a jar file, with the endpoint switched at runtime to point to a particular provider, we would only ever use one wsdl to generate the stubs and all new providers that would like us to call this service would only need to provide us with an endpoint.
