If you are handcoding everything then you are losing much of the benefits of using an xml-based rpc framework. > 2. Should we be using WSDL2Java and/or Java2WSDL? I have been using these two programs, and it makes my life easier, as my beans are complex, because I have many abstract beans that are extended. If I had to do everything by hand it would take me much longer to make changes. You can go back later and add to the wsdl files if you want more flexibility than wsdl2java offers. > 3.

Use the tools provided will help out. They have tools to deploy/undeploy and the java2wsdl/wsdl2java.
