Hi Pascal, thanks a lot and thousand times more and many greetings to Karlsruhe from Hamburg! That was exactly that kind of explanation that I needed. Of course I saw this code in the samples, but because of the missing decription I just did not understand and did not know how to convert it to my code. Now this funcionality wirks and I'm glad that I just need static invocation...
But I have another question. I need to work with session. What I know is (or what I think I know): I need to define the scope of the service to session, and I have to invoke the SessionHandler during request and response flow. But: I think I have to define request and response-flow on both sides; the client and the server. But in the wsdl-file there is no entry for that flow-definitions I defined for the service on server-side. If I really have to tell the client-side axis to invoke my Handler (i.e. the SimpleSessionHandler) in request and response: How do I tell him without including a wsdd-file? Or do I have to define other stuff to get this working? thanks in advance Sebastian Beyer -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Pascal Wissler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

If you want to access your webservice in a static way, you could use the wsdl2java tool to generate a client-side "static invocation interface" rather than your implementation of a "dynamic invocation interface". That's a kind of "proxy" for you to access the webservice. This is useful if you want to use a really remote web service such as Babelfish (see www.xmethods.net) - give wsdl2java the URL http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl and it generates for you (static) java classes for calling the service. But you can invoke the service dynamically, too. Just use your code and give it the right endpoint URL (f.ex. http://services.xmethods.net:80/perl/soaplite.cgi) and the required parameters (look in the wsdl-document) and you will get the same result - but then you have to handle all that type casting and other stuff. So that's shortly the difference between "static" and "dynamic" invocation of a web service. In the user's guide there is a simple example of using the generated static code: -------- // Make a service AddressBookService service = new AddressBookServiceLocator(); // Now use the service to get a stub which implements the SDI. AddressBook port = service.getAddressBook(); // Make the actual call Address address = new Address(...); port.addEntry("Russell Butek", address); ------- If you use wsdl2java, you haven't to deal with all the endpoint URL of the service and that kind of stuff. Then, you access and treat your object as if it were on your local machine. Regards. Pascal. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

Also Serialization/DeSerialization of JavaBeans works perfectly. I wrote the client, as it is described in the userguide: Service service = new Service(); Call call = (Call)service.createCall(); call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpoint)); call.registerTypeMapping(beanClass, beanQName, new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(beanClass, beanQName), new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(beanClass, beanQName)); QName operation = new QName(nameSpace, methodName); call.setOperationName(operation); Object returnval = call.invoke(invokeArgs); Now I want to go further with deployment on the client-side. I think there are two ways: Using a wsdd-file or by using the wsdl2java-framework. Or did I misunderstand something? Where can I learn something about that? I read the articles on apache org about this, but I think they dont describe well. Because they just dont explain how to really work with the generated files. I already tried to include a wsdd-file by using class WSDDDocument but I didnt manage that to the end. I also generated the files by using wsdl2java, but I dont know how to handle these files! How to use the Stub, and the BindingImpl, the Locator and Factory. What do this classes describe? Every help is appreciated! Greetings from Hamburg/Germany Sebastian Beyer
