Hi Nick, Thanks for going through it and trying it out, see my comments inline.

When a Service is deployed using a WSDL (thats contract first web services) the service is configured according to the data provided in the WSDL. In this case your passing in valuable information to the service as to where your actual parameters will be when you do a REST call to the service. > I don't > think I've seen a service consuming it's own WSDL like that but hey, it > works! ...nearly > > I'm still not quite there yet.

It could well be the issue. Guess you will have to have a look at this blog post<http://www.keith-chapman.org/2008/09/axis2-java2wsdl-never-use-interface.html>[1] to figure out why this happens. ;). > I > tried changing the WSDL operation location to "city/{param0}" in case it > was > that old problem again but it didn't help.

No that was a mistake. Thanks for noticing that.
