Re: Document/Literal : bad part name in axis server response

[Bill Keese]

OK, I think I understand what's going on now.  There is both a bug and a "missing feature". Bug: In document/literal mode, Axis generate a <methodNameReturn> tag when writing out the return value;  it shouldn't.  That tag only makes sense in wrapped/literal mode.  (This is what Ann was saying.) Missing feature: Axis obeys the specifications in the WSDL file, but you have to manually call wsdl2java to generate the deploy.wsdd.  (This is what Michael was saying.) However, I would like a feature where Axis automatically parses and obeys the WSDL file, without manually calling wsdl2java.

I had it the wrong way around and confused the java2wsdl from your original message with wsdl2java. In Jonas, using the new (not so new) ejb 2.1 service endpoint features, i just provide the wsdl (that is generated from the java endpoint interface), and the ejb and webservices descriptors (for the ejb deployment). At assembly time, Jonas produces the java stubs, the whole web application as a war with a limited wsdd descriptor. At deployment time, Jonas merges the war's wsdd file with the full platform's one to expose the web service endpoint. This is the wsdd file : Presumably the following is happening: At assembly time Jonas uses wsdl2java to generate, among other things, a deploy.wsdd. At deployment time, Jonas uses the Axis AdminClient to merge this deploy.wsdd into Axis' server-config.wsdd. Do you know if this is correct? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" [snip] </deployment> There are no operation elements in that WSDD. Without them, Axis won't use the names and types you intended in the input and output messages. From my point of view, Axis was expected to use the given wsdl file to handle client requests according to the descriptor it generated itself... Well, Axis (at least as of 1.2RC) does that. Not directly, though. You need to process your WSDL with wsdl2java and among other things, you get a deploy.wsdd with names, types and namespaces specified for operations. Also, the deployScope can be specified. I may be mistaken and I can't claim that Axis is doing everything right, but the problem in your case appears to be one of integration where the Jonas installation doesn't make full use of what Axis offers. I don't know Jonas, thus I can't say whether this is a genuine limitation of the respective Jonas version or a shortcoming of the deployment.
