If instead of writing an interface you write a class then java2wsdl will include your parameter definitions in the generated wsdl
e.g. instead of public String getFoo(String myParam); public String getFoo(String myParam) return null; All best Andy P -----Original Message----- From: Dorner Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 May 2004 07:03 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: AW: Best Practices? The right way is to write a interface which includes all the Methods your webservice should offer. Then you use java2wsdl to generate your wsdl. You have to correct your parameternames in your auto generated wsdl, cause the the params looks like in0, in1, in2... . Then you use wsdl2java to generate your stub, locator, skeleton, impl and maybe a testclient. Now you can implement and deploy your Service by unsing the addtional generated .wsdd files.

I'm a newbie looking for guidance in creating WebServices with Axis. I've gone through the documentation backwards and forwards and have come up with me own ways of doing things. I start with a WSDL that I create and use WSDL2Java to generate the code and go from there. What I'm looking for is a best practices because I don't feel confident in the way I am going about it. Do most people start from a WSDL? Do people generate a WSDL from an interface and go from there? Do people just create a class and a WSDD file? Or, do people use JWS files that accept a string and the string contains xml formated text? If there are any sites that cover this information, please forward them on to me. Any help will be appreciated!!! Thanks, Joe Plautz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
