One thing that didn't become clear for me during this thread is why people are using java2wsdl at all. When I started with Axis and web services, I, too, had the idea of making Axis generate the "right" WSDL for me automagically. I've given up on this idea since. I don't object to generating wsdl from a programming language in general, but to my mind, in cases where interoperability is of supreme importance, a WSDL definition is the starting point. [1]
The mapping between Java and WSDL involves some loss in either direction; the two languages are different in expressiveness and in what they emphasize. In particular, I wouldn't expect roundtrip mapping to give sensible results.
