Hi,
My questions are:
Q. When exposing an EJB as an axis web service do I have to always *manually* make the WSDD file or can I somehow make an appropriate one using wsdl2java.
You can use XDoclet (xdoclet.sf.net) axis support to build your .wsdd files from your source code javadoc-like comments. Then use that .wsdd with AdminClient to deploy your web services and finally you can get the WSDL files from `http://<yourhost>:<port>/<axis-url-path>/services'.
`deploy.wsdd' is not required at the client side (`client-config.wsdd' is used to include custom serialization/deserialization, which for a started is quite uncommon to be used; maybe later). `deploy.wsdd' mainly contains information for the server-side.
Q. And if I have to manually make it, how do I generate the client stubs using wsdl2java without also creating an extra WSDD file I don't want?
Are you sure that .wsdd file was generated by wsdl2java without the '-s' option or by java2wsdl?
Try in an empty directory "java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java 'http://<yourhost>:<port>/<axis-url-path>/services/<yourservice>?wsdl'". It will generate just the stubs in the current directory.
