Hi,

I have made modifications in ModelParam.java due to tha fact that supports 
the java to wsdl conversion of only primitive data types and not complex 
types like Map or List.
If i do not make changes into it, wsdl file does not get generated...


Thanks & Regards,

Make below given modification in you service definition:

<service name="ComplexInputService" engine="java" export="true"
             location="org.ofbiz.ExtWebServiceClient.ComplexInputService"
invoke="callWebService">
        <description>web service with complex params</description>
        <attribute type="List" mode="IN" name="inputList" optional="true"
/>
        <attribute type="List" mode="OUT" name="outputList" 
optional="true"/>
</service>

Make below given modification in your service implementation:

public class ComplexInputService {

    public static Map callWebService(DispatchContext ctx, Map context) {
        System.out.println("inside call web service.........");
        Map<String, Object> result= FastMap.newInstance();
        List<String> outputList= FastList.newInstance();
        List<String> inputList= 
UtilGenerics.checkList(context.get("inputList"));
        result.put("outputList", inputList);
        result = ServiceUtil.returnSuccess();
        System.out.println("service finished......");
        return result;
    }
}

Discard this changes. These are useless, when you use above given 
improved code.
