wsdl2java or java2wsdl best practise

Hi,

I have looked for guidence and articles on this, but can't find any,
so my question is:

which is generally the better practise:

- creating a web service from a wsdl using wsdl2java or;
- creating a web service from a java class using java2wsdl

I remember reading that wsdl2java using a wsdl is best but can anyone
confirm this and give reasons why?

Regards,

Patrick.

It is always better to create a service from wsdl/schema. 
If you try to generate a service from a java class, you are very
likely to expose language-specific features and structures that impede
interoperability.
