Hi Please see my comments in the mail.

I've used other web service tools in the past and am now looking at using CXF. I have a series of questions that I hope somebody can answer for me: 1. I used the WSDL2Java tool to generate a web service client from a WSDL. I noticed that none of the generated code contains the web service endpoint URL. Where does this come from? Am I supposed to supply it programmatically at runtime? If so, how? <Willem> For the server side , you can specify the endpoint publish by using the JAXWS API's Endpoint.publish or by ServerFactoryBean's setAddress method. <Willem>For the client side , it mainly come from the WSDL and you can also changed it by using the ProxyFactoryBean's setAddress method. <Willem>You can find more information about the client side setting here[1] [1]http://www.nabble.com/Client-question-tf4357978.html#a12419843 2. Related to #1, is there a way to define, programmatically, the web service endpoint URL? We are a web service consumer, but the web service provider has a testing and a production environment. I need to be able to specify, at runtime, the endpoint to use, rather than having to specify it at compile time. Like many organizations, we promote code through various testing environments to a production environment, and I'd hate to have to specify a web service endpoint URL at compile time. <Willem> I think I already give you the answer. 3. Is there a way, programmatically, to specify a proxy server and proxy port? Our environment does not use the standard http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort system variables (don't ask me why) so I need a way to programmatically set the proxy server and proxy port for a web service client. <Willem> You can specify it in the configuration file [2] [2]http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/client-http-transport.html 4. Is there any way that WSDL2Java can generate Java 1.4 compliant code? I see the output of WSDL2Java uses annotations. Unfortunately we're not yet on Java 1.5 (it should be happening soon) but the reality is that we're currently still on 1.4. Do I have any options here or do I have to use another tool? <Willem> No, CXF do not support JDK1.4, our work is based on the JAXWS API which heavily uses the JDK 1.5's annotations. Willem.
