Re: Java2WSDL - why?

[Ed Pond]

If I'm using the WSDD to set web service properties (eg. to use a document service style) then these properties have no way of appearing in the WSDL generated by Java2WSDL, since Java2WSDL itself generates the WSDD. Since the WSDL dynamically generated by axis (eg. http://localhost:8080/axis/services/VelocityService?wsdl) will reflect the properties specified in the WSDD this seems to me to make the Java2WSDL inappropriate.   I guess the crux of the matter is: Is there any need to use Java2WSDL if we are using WSDD to configure the web service?   Ed   Original message: -------------------------------------   Hi, Yes I accept with it, but in addition to it, as a conceptual discussion Java2WSDL is needed for having our webservice in clean.   Even as a webservice, it should be started with a wsdl and on top of that we should develop our webservice.(It is always better than the other way round).   so to do it, rather writing a wsdl in lines, better have an initial scratch service class and create wsdl from it and keep on develop it.   It will always make sure that your wsdl will have the entire details of the webservice.   Thanks,   regards, Jeyakumaran > you'll need the WSDL produced by Java2WSDL to register your webservice > with a UDDI registry, so other clients that are not necessarily written > with Axis/Java can locate and invoke your webservice. > > Ed Pond wrote: > >>*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) >> Pro* So I can take a class, describe my proposed web service in a WSDD >> and then use AdminClient to publish it.
