It's not impossible to do...In fact the while WSDL2Java and Java2WSDL is very open and flexible to accomodate such needs. If you need help in figuring things out and sending patches, you are very welcome.
Yes, In JAX-RPC 2.0, JAXB support is a must....That's a long way off. (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=224). We should be shooting for JAX-RPC 1.1 compliance in Axis 1.2 (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr101/index.html) -- dims --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Good question.
