Will take a look at the link you've mentioned here. About the method definitions for returned class, I'm sorry - I should have probably said definition for my getter and setter methods. Yes, they - including the constructor isn't generating. The class is literally empty. The ObjectFactory class does have a newInstance() for returned class but its pretty much useless as the returned class is abstract.

This might give you some pointers though: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohlert/archive/2006/10/jaxws_and_type.html > Problem 2: The method return type class has become EMPTY. All method > definitions inside the original abstract class are gone! Okay -- let me see if I've got this straight. CXF is generating a WSDL from your annotated server-side code, including definitions for classes which some of the methods return. Then you're generating client-side code from the WSDL. You can't expect the client-side classes to contain method definitions -- how could you get business logic from a WSDL? A WSDL is only a way of describing operations and the data structures they work on, it's not a way of expressing Java code in XML! The client-side generated classes should have constructors, fields, getters and setters though -- if they're missing these, there's a problem with the WSDL. > Hope that explanation was clear without me printing out the actual classes > involved here. Beyond this point, it's hard to say much more without code examples... Andrew. -- :: http://biotext.org.uk/ ::
