Axis2 Web Service Client Generation - Types without modifying the client

Question

Is it possible with Axis2 and Eclipse to generate a Web Service client and have it use java types that you already have in packages instead of creating it\'s own types. Rea

Answer 1

In case this post is still of any use to someone I read the axis2 generating clients guide: http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/userguide-creatingclients.html.

It seems that the Axis2 Eclipse plugin is configured to call ADB code generation in integrated mode (see http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/adb/adb-howto.html), thus creating inner classes in the Web service stub. I don't know if changing the generation mode to expanded mode (generate data classes out of the stub class) is possible, but you can do it command line using Wsdl2Java:

    %AXIS2_HOME%\bin\WSDL2Java -uri  -p  -u

The -u option tells the ADB code generator to create data classes as separate classes and not inner classes in the stub.
