I am calling an Axis/Tomcat web service with a JAX-WS client proxy generated by 
wsconsume (from JBossWs 2.0.1 GA) run against our hand-coded WSDL file. When we 
execute the client, the constructor of the xxxService class is obtaining the 
WSDL from the Web service (via the ?WSDL command) and performing a dynamic 
element binding at run-time (at least we think that?s what happening).

The problem is that the Axis Web service is returning a WSDL with syntax errors 
and outright mistakes. This isn?t a problem with a client proxy generated by 
the Axis WSDL2Java from the hand-coded WSDL. The WSDL2Java client classes are 
statically bound and do not access the service?s WSDL at run time. 
WSDL2Java-generated clients have been in production for more than a year 
without any difficulty. The wsconsume-generated client throws an exception and 
terminates when it encounters the first error in the WSDL generated by the Axis 
run-time ? I never get out of the constructor of the xxxService class.

Yet wsconsume had no difficulty digesting the hand-coded WSDL. We?ve studied 
the WSDL for a very long time now, and do not believe there is an error in its 
design. Indeed, the fact that it works with WSDL2Java-generated clients shows 
that the WSDL is designed properly. We are convinced that the AXIS Web Service 
run-time is making an error generating the WSDL on demand.

Can I easily override the Service class?s retrieval of the WSDL from the Web 
service and point it instead at a local copy of the WSDL file? In out 
environment, every caller of the Web service also implements their own Web 
service with the identical interface, so we can enforce a rule that they have a 
copy local of the valid WSDL file.
