Hello all. >From my understanding of Axis, there are two ways to generate a web service:
1) Write a class who's methods are the methods of your service. In your server-config.wsdd, set the className parameter of your service to the above classname. 2) Write a class who's methods are the methods of your service. Run java2wsdl to generate your wsdl file. Run wsdl2java --server-side to generate your server's service, bindings, stubs, implementations, etc. "deploy" your service. I've been doing #1 as it's easier (no deploying, don't have to emit anything, just write the service). (Note, that I'm in the unique situation where I'm not using Axis as the web server: I actually have a servlet web application that I'm embedding my web service into. Therefore, I don't want to deal with installing the web app, and then have to "deploy" my web service.) Is there something I'm missing? Is there an advantage to method #2 over #1? If I want to write custom serializers, do I need to do #2? Thanks JDG --- Jay Glanville
