Yes, that's exactly as it's supposed to be with a wrapped service. The
request body is wrapped in <MethodName>...</MethodName>, the response
body is wrapped in <MethodNameResponse>...</MethodNameResponse>. That's
what makes it wrapped. Also, as far as I remember, if you don't
explicitly say what kind of service you have, Axis uses this naming
convention to sense if your document-style service is actually
wrapped-style.
As a matter of style I don't like wrapped-style WSDL definitions. I'm
just a newbie, though, so my opinion doesn't have that much weight. If
explicitly-specified wrapped-style isn't mandated by interoperability,
I would avoid it. In my current (toy) case, I have a plain
document/literal WSDL definition, but I tell Axis on both ends to
actually wrap messages so that I get wrapped-style on the wire.
On the server-side, my service is defined like this
<service name="MyService" provider="java:RPC" style="wrapped"
use="literal">
...
</service
And on the client-side, in my hand-written code, I explicitly call
call.setOperationStyle(Style.WRAPPED);
wsdl2java puts equivalent code in its generated ...BindingStubImpl
classes, unless support for wrapped is explicitly turned of with
--noWrapped.
