Srini, Lets say your code is in package com.srini.myapp and below. There will be a folder somewhere that contains the 'com' folder which contains the 'srini' folder and so forth. Since you are using Eclipse, this folder (the one containing 'com') will be one of the source folders you configure in the project properties. You choose "java classpath" in the list at the left of the properties box and then select the leftmost tab to configure the sources.
Now, lets futher say your generated code is in packages below com.ibm.webservice. You have two choices: 1) Put the generated code in the same folder space as your own source. That means that you end up with both 'srini' and 'ibm' folders in the 'com' folder mentioned in the paragraph above. Under the 'ibm' folder there is a 'webservice' folder and all the generated source is below that. 2) Another way to do it works pretty well. You put a 'src' folder in the root of your Eclipse project. The 'com.srini.myapp' source code goes under 'src' and you configure (as described above) Eclipse so that 'src' is a source folder. Then you make a 'generated-src' folder in the root of the same Eclipse project (next to the 'src' folder) and put all the generated code in it. That means 'com' is under 'generated-src' and 'ibm' is under 'com' and so forth with the .java files in this source tree. Then you configure Eclipse so that 'generated-src' is an additional source folder. With this method, there are two source folders. After either of these, you will need to clean and rebuild the entire project. Eclipse has an option to do this under the 'project' menu. One way to check whether you got it all done right, after the rebuild, is to go to one of your own source java files that references one of the generated classes. Put the cursor on the name of the generated class or a method in that class and press F3. (You can hold down the Ctrl button and click on the same name or method with the mouse to do the same thing.) Eclipse should open the generated source file when you do this. One further thing I do helps avoid a common mistake. I go into the Windows file system and set all the generated source files to read-only. This makes it so that Eclipse lets you know if you are trying to change one of the generated files and save the change. Since you will probably regenerate now and then, its not a good idea to make any changes. (I actually set up the process that generates the classes so they are changed to read-write before generation and end up read-only afterwards. I do that in an ant script.)
