WSDD files for EJB web services

[Peter Smith]

Hi,   I was able to deploy a simple EJB and then deploy an axis service exposing it. The simple WSDD file I manually created and used for the axis deployment is as follows.   -------------------------------- <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"             xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">   <service name="SimpleBean" provider="java:EJB">     <parameter name="beanJndiName" value="SimpleBeanEJB"/>     <parameter name="homeInterfaceName" value="com.fujitsu.fast.ejb.SimpleBeanHome"/>     <parameter name="remoteInterfaceName" value="com.fujitsu.fast.ejb.SimpleBean"/>     <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="sayHello"/> </service>   </deployment> --------------------------------   This all works. I can acess my EJB thru the browser like http://localhost:9002/axis12beta3/servlet/AxisServlet/SimpleBean?method=sayHello&value=WORLD and all is OK.   But now I want to write a java SOAP client to access my EJB web service. I use ant task axis-java2wsdl to get the WSDL and from that axis-wsdl2java to get the generated stubs. The wsdl2java also made another WSDD file but it is quite different to the WSDD file I manually created earlier   --------------------------------- <deployment     xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"     xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">     <!-- Services from SimpleBeanService WSDL service -->     <service name="SimpleBean" provider="java:RPC" style="rpc" use="encoded">       <parameter name="wsdlTargetNamespace" value="urn:SimpleBean"/>       <parameter name="wsdlServiceElement" value="SimpleBeanService"/>       <parameter name="wsdlServicePort" value="SimpleBean"/>       <parameter name="className" value="com.fujitsu.fast.ejb.SimpleBeanSoapBindingSkeleton"/>       <parameter name="wsdlPortType" value="SimpleBean"/>       <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>       <parameter name="scope" value="Session"/>     </service> </deployment> ---------------------------------   For one thing it is provider="java:RPC" instead of provider="java:EJB". Also the other EJB provider specific parameters are missing   ~~~   My questions are:   Q. When exposing an EJB as an axis web service do I have to always *manually* make the WSDD file or can I somehow make an appropriate one using wsdl2java.   Q. And if I have to manually make it, how do I generate the client stubs using wsdl2java without also creating an extra WSDD file I don't want?   Thanks for any help.
