Create request object from WSDL

You may be right. But the class that are created using WSDL do not seem to have getter/setter for the params or in other words, classes those are created using WSDL are different to those created using JAXB. (I might be wrong in saying this but not really sure).

Which tool do you use to convert WSDL2Java? Axis2?

The creator of this thread might be able to help me here as the work which I want to do is very similar to this post.

No, I am not using AXIS, I am using ws-import which is part of jdk 6, or you should be able to download it for 1.5.

I am using it via maven and the jaxws-maven-plugin and the classes I have do have getters and setters.

Here is my sampel script.. I have not included interceptor and validator, those are just skeletons..

see if this helps..

As a best practice, schema file should be separated from wsdl file and it should be imported into wsdl file. If schema file is not available as a separate file then we need to generate the java files from wsdl file using the below mentioned command.

Example :

Change to your project directory. ..\src\main

xjc -d java -wsdl webapp\WEB-INF\wsdl\calculator.wsdl

it creates the java objects and places it in to java folder.
