Re: How to make classes created from wsdl2java implements serializable?
Thanks Akos, I will try this a later time. For this project we will keep using metro RI, we don't have time to change that as we are close to the end of the project. 1 quick question though: the wsdlLocation=YOUR_WSDL_LOCATION should point to the final destination of your wsdls or is it used just to generate the serializable classes?

Re: How to make classes created from wsdl2java implements serializable?
Daniel, The binding file is ONLY used at code generation time as an option passed to wsdl2java. It's not used at runtime at all. Thus, it should point to whatever the development time location would be. Dan On Thursday 24 January 2008, daniel.mfreitas wrote: Thanks Akos, I will try this a later time.
