There's an impedance mismatch between Java types and XML types. Axis can't generate automagic type mappings except for simple types. Therefore if you use collections or value types (e.g., beans), then you have to provide a WSDD with an appropriate set of type mapping definitions.
Collections are p

Its a shame they didnt make it able to support collections, because
there is absolutely (as far as I can tell) no technical reason not to.
I am sure there are reasons to use all of the features of wsdl, but

If the latter, then bear in mind that jws is useful for only the most trivial RPC-oriented invocations, in which all parameters ar
