WSDL generation tools

[Byrne Reese <by...@thebeatenpath.com>]

Dear Axis Development Team,

When doing my initial reading of and experimenting with Axis, one thing
I really liked was how the framework can intercept requests for web
service descriptions and return automatically generated WSDL "files"
(i.e. '/axis/service?WSDL'). I am curious in how I might be able to
extend this functionality. For example...

In most cases a single WSDL file is adequate for describing simple
synchronous interactions between the client and the web service.
However, I am looking for a way to extend the basic WSDL definition for
more complex ones that might describe a way to interact with my web
service asynchronously.

For example, I would love to be able to intercept requests for
'/axis/service?MY_WSDL' and return in the response a slight modification
to the default Axis Java2WSDL translation. Does the Axis framework at
this point support such functionality?

I would love to get involved and experiment in ways to make such
functionality possible, but I don't want to be reinvent'n the wheel as
it were.
