Why does java2wsdl run against the .class files? Is that to ensure the WSDL is generated from a compile-able version of the interface? Or because reflection is the main approach to capturing the necessary info?
I guess this kills my thinking that this might be simple.

To get the javadocs you need to get at the .java source, then somehow preserve the results for the existing java2wsdl file *or* completely generate the WSDL at compile time. Why not just write the WSDL and create the server-side code and the client-side code? if you must do it, use xdoclet as the foundation. **************************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
