Hi.
I've been having some problems with a web service whose code skeleton I generated using the wsdl2ws tool available in Axis. Using C++ as the target language, I started having problems with receiving messages in (generated) clients, also in C++.
After breaking out GDB and Ethereal, I discovered that the XML fields generated by the server are not exactly compatible with the fields expected by the client. The problem is in the name of the Response message. While the generated client expects the message name to be the one declared in the WSDL ( minfo.getOutputMessage().getLocalPart() on line 475 of file ClientStubWriter.java), the generated server creates a message name using the method name with the string "Response" appended to the end (minfo.getMethodname()+ "Response"(...) on lines 292-293 of file WrapWriter.java).
Is there a reason for this that escapes me? When I use a wsdl file that declares the return message as being called something other than <methodname>Response, the client doesn't work, and simply exits with the message "aborted". If I change the server-side generator to use the same name as the client-side for the return message, replacing the second string mentioned above with the first one, then the client and server work together flawlessly.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
