Are you using the same part name for the input messages for both the
operations ?

Subject: If two methods have different names but same parameters, the
first one is always called.


I am using axis beta 1.1. My old document style service has a method:
outObject method1(inObject in);
I use WSDL2Java tool to generate the server side classes. Everything is
working fine. 

Now I need to add an extra element to both inObject and outObject(in the
type definition in wsdl) and create a new service method: outObject
method2(inObject in); for a new client to use, but I don't want to break
the client who has the old type definitions and who is still calling
method1.

The two operations are defined in wsdl in this order:

<wsdl:operation name="method1">
        .....
</wsdl:operation> 

<wsdl:operation name="method2">
        .....
</wsdl:operation>  

The problem is when my new client calls method2(inObject) the server
always invokes method1(inObject). If I put operation method2 before
method1 in wsdl and re-generate the server classes, the new client
works. But the old client breaks because it is calling method2 which
contains an unrecognizable extra element. 

It seems that axis doesn't use method name to find an operation. It
always finds the first operation whose parameters match the one passed
in, in this case the first operation defined in the wsdl file. Is this a
bug? If not, does anyone know what could be a workaround?

Thanks in advance.
