Generic SOAP client to webservices

[Maneesha Jain <ma...@sun.com>]

Hi,

Question 1:
-----------
I'm trying to write a dynamic Apache SOAP Client that can
call any relatively simple
web service, say on www.xmethods.com. Some of these services
use complex types or nested
beans as input/output parameters.

On the client side, it seems, I would need to create a Java
Bean class for each of
these complex types and register it with
SOAPMappingRegistry. Since my SOAP client is intended to be
a generic client to any web service, is there a way that I
can call these services without creating Java Bean classes
needed for Input or Output parameters.


Question 2:
-----------

If the server side uses SOAP Encoding for Input/Output
parameters, do I need to use
the same encoding on the client side ?
