WSDL generation using AXIS - newbie help
Hi all.
Maybe I'm in need of further reading, maybe someone can point me in the
right direction.
I've used Axis to generate client side stubs before, but I've never
worked with a) a .NET service and b) a service that wasn't our own, and
I'm having a few issues understanding what I need to do. Hopefully
someone can help.
I have a WSDL definition from a .NET service, below is an edited version
(to allow for anonymity):
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"

<soap12:address location="http://www.domain.com/tpi.asmx" />
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>
This would allegedly provide a response like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<ConfirmRedirectionResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org//TPI">
<ConfirmRedirectionResult>
<xsd:schema>schema</xsd:schema>xml</ConfirmRedirectionResult>
</ConfirmRedirectionResponse>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
Where 'schema' and 'xml' in this line:
<xsd:schema>schema</xsd:schema>xml</ConfirmRedirectionResult> are
'placeholders'.
Now I'm expecting a lot of user data to come back in this response, and
I presume that it will come within these placeholders.
If that's correct how do I generate a client stub using Axis that
represents this service?
If I generate a stub using this WSDL as is, I only get the ability to
perform:
MessageElement[] messageElements = result.get_any();
And not the specific getters for user name, user language etc etc that
should appear in the response.
I'm clearly missing something here, your thoughts and help would be
appreciated.
Dean.

Thanks for the reply Anne, helped a lot. I've contacted them to sort it
out, they're aware of the 'problem'.
It's good to know I was thinking along the right lines, I just never
expected such a loosely typed spec to be allowed, kinda' defeats the
object.

This WSDL is an example of how not to build an interoperable web
service in .NET. This service returns a .NET DataSet data type --
hence the schema included in the response message. I know of no
Java-based SOAP framework that can process one of these automatically.
Your best option is too toss the service back at the folks that
provided it and tell them to implement an interoperable service that
does not return proprietary data types like the DataSet. Your only
other option is to use the messaging API and process the response
message (and its embedded schema) using DOM.
