That 'generate-sdo' only generates the Java types from the schema types, right?
It's the WSDL2Java which maps portType operations t**o Java methods and (last I checked) our W2J is the only tool which knows how to do this with an SDO databinding. I'm not sure how useful the SDO-based J2W is, however. There are a lot of ways to generate a WSDL and as long as the work Simon Nash is doing to do a J2W at runtime can handle SDOs it would seem the tool-time code could be abandoned.
