Hello, I would be kind to help me with my question. As the CFX Website states in the (WSDL2Java) "Consumer" examples, for a Consumer it is always necessary to have the "Original" WSDL File available from whicht the Code was generated. This WSDL is either passed (see cited text below) via the Parametered-Constructor or seems to be implicitly called at the original adress if the Service ist instanciated via the default Constructor. (The Code generated by CXF WSDL2Java seems to generate a static member with the URL and then uses the parametered Constructor for Instanciation...)
1. Isn't that an enourmous waste of resources if the WSDL file is called for every (or at least the first) invocation (in case this url is cached somehow)? 2. What is the idea behind the retrieval of the WSDL file? As the client Code has already been generated via WSDL2Java any change in the WSDL file can't be "integrated" in the code anymore. The code is static and compiled and has all the information needed to run properly(?) Why is the WSDL file useful here and retrieved at all? I spent a lot of thinking about that but was not able to figure this out. Thank you very much!

Using this constructor presupposes that the WSDL contract remains available at its original location. ##########
