Thanks Anne for your reply.
Basically I'm trying to develop a client to webservice. So I need to map
the client inputs to the webservice request and return the response in
client understandable format. I wanted to avoid generation of classes
using WSDL2JAVA if possible since it is not recommended in my project.
Also I dont know what webservice are called because each client needs to
configure their webservice details.
I have some additional questions. I'm new to webservice.
1. How did you say the WSDL I sent conforms to wrapped convention
because I see the style.use as document/literal.
2. I thought I saw the WSDL2JAVA also generated the classes for anyType.
I did not write any deserializers. Guess you meant writing deserializers
if I dont use WSDL2JAVA?
3. Where can I find some example of serializer/deserializer
Thanks,
Ravi

The service is defined as document/literal, therefore that's how you
must encode the messages. But you can still "invoke" it using an RPC
style -- at least from your application's perspective. This WSDL
conforms to the "wrapped" convention, so Axis allows you to invoke it
using an RPC programming style.
The right way to do that is to use WSDL2Java to generate a client
proxy stub and to invoke methods on the stub. Because the service uses
anyType, you also need to define custom deserializers.
What exactly are you looking to do?

Hello:
I 'm a newbie to Axis. Was looking into the following wsdl:
http://www.atomic-x.com/xmlservices/dnslookupservice.asmx?wsdl
Was able to use WSDL2JAVA from Axis to generate the stubs and hence invoke the
webservice.
Wondering is there any other way to invoke the webservice successfully
instead of using WSDL2JAVA. The webservices has datatypes that could be complex
types and would like to invoke RPC as well as Document style.
I'm looking only as a client to invoke the webservices. Also any suggestions
design approach for this is welcome.
Thanks for your time.
