Hi Dims, In my case, tweaking the WSDL is problematic as I am working on dynamic test cases. I have a Client class and a web service class. I then would like to generate the client stubs by pointing the wsdl2java at the running web service. My problem is that the generated stubs are not what the client class on top of the stub would expect.
Now I can work around this, but ideally wsdl2java would come back with the original message's signature (sorry for being a pain ;) The major concern I have for our particular use case is that the huge number of parameters generated for INOUTs makes the test cases' signatures harder to read and thus harder to understand; however, we would like to use the test cases as part of our documentation/tutorial sections. Do you think there will be a patch for this in the near future (Axis 1.2 final)? Thanks much.
