Hi all, I came across this post that discuss an issue regarding method overloading. I need to make up my mind about the use of method overloading. It certainly comes in handy if you have a dozen apis to expose for a dozen of objects.
Playing with wsdl2Java shown me that it does not (as of Jan 30th build) generates stub classes for derived complex types because they are not explicitly referenced to by any messages, instead the messages refer to the base type, Object. - Debug info from wsdl2Java org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.DefinedType QName: http://xxx/xsd:Object isReferenced? true [...] org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.DefinedType QName: http://xxx/xsd:Folder isReferenced? false [...] This seems to be a strong limitation. As a consumer of a service I need the derived classes to be generated even though they are not directly used by the messages. Would the fix simply be for WSDL2Java to see that Folder is a derived type of Object and set his "isReferenced" attribute to true to get the class generated? Or else should I be building my wsdl otherwise for this to happen? In general, how is method overloading accepted/perceived? It looks like being a good thing to me!

This is a known problem. We've fixed our bug this week. Unfortunately, we depend on WSDL4J which also has a bug. They've been notified of it. Now, instead of only getting one registerChar method, you get one of them twice. I would caution you on using overloaded methods if you can avoid it. There are a number of places where operations are referred to only by name, not by signature (deploy.wsdd). So even if this particular bug is fixed, I worry that there may be deeper issues that we'll run into. This message may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
