Yes, wsdl2java will generate deploy/undeploy.wsdd with type mappings (they could've used the simpler beanMapping element though).
<typeMapping
xmlns:ns="http://quotations.vxappliance.com";
qname="ns:Quotation"
type="java:com.vxappliance.quotations.Quotation"
serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory"
deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
/>As far as decent html for the ant tasks, check out the following under your ant source directory:
axis-1_1/docs/ant/axis-wsdl2java.html
They look fine, although they are incomplete descriptions as they don't mention the nested classpath element stuff from above.
cheers,

Hi,
I've been having some problems with the axis ant tasks. We're running axis-1_1 and ant 1.5.1beta1 (should probably upgrade ant). We were doing everything by hand (running loads of different commands from a shell) and this worked ok, but now are trying to automate things and at the same time standardise on ant. We've run into a couple of snags which we'd apreciate help with.
Firstly, for the tasks axis-wsdl2java and axis-java2wsdl, how do I specify the classpath it should search for my web service classes? Since some of the classes are generated earlier in the ant script, they can't be in the classpath of the ant process itself. Neither ant task appears to have a classpath attribute.
Seccondly, we have written a custom serializer/deserializer for a data-type we are passing through an AXIS web service. I saw that you hook these in using <typeMapping> elements in the deploy.wsdd file. However, axis-wsdl2java, which seems to generate deploy.wsdd, doesn't seem to have any way to specify type mappings. It looks like the maping attributes are for assigning namespaces to packages, not to serializer/deserializer factory classes.
Oh, and the docs at http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/ant/axis-java2wsdl.html are badly formatted today (both in mozilla and explorer) - the tables containing the task properties have everything on one long line rather than in mulitple cells.
Thanks,
Matthew
