no, because that is what the JAX-PRC rules say that Axis must do. They made
the naming rules, not Apache.
But you have a simple workaround
1. go to capeclear.com and get the latest beta of their WSDL editor
2. write the WSDL you want first
3. use wsdl2java -server to create the wsdl from this; in Ant it looks like
this
<axis-wsdl2java
output="${build.axis.generated.dir}"
serverside="true"
skeletondeploy="true"
url="${test.wsdl}"
verbose="true"
testcase="true"
>
<mapping
namespace="http://org.example/test";
package="${axis.soapapi.package}" />
<mapping
namespace="http://org.example/test/dtds/test.xsd";
package="${axis.soapapi.package}.data" />
</axis-wsdl2java>
Then you dont have to worry about what java2wsdl does, because you control
the WsdL
