Hi Stu, Using the Ant tasks would allow you to automate the steps for a particular set of source files, but I don't see this as a big gain - typically you'd only go through this process once for any particular set of classes anyway, so why bother to script it out in Ant?
What I meant by making the process simpler was to eliminate the need for so much tinkering in this common case - basically build the WSDD to refer to the existing server-side code, avoid overwriting classes that already exist (or generating the server-side implementation stub), etc. - Dennis Dennis M.

The whole process you describe can be automated with Ant. The toughest part (not that tough!) would be generating a transform to do step 4.

I helped a client go through this process a couple of weeks ago and found it worked pretty well once you knew what to modify along the way. I'd like to put together a tool to wrap Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java to make the process simpler, but don't know when I'll get to that. - Dennis Dennis M.
