What is wsdl2java for?
It seems to me WSDL2Java should generate the
testclient and the service classes for the web service
described in the WSDL. But instead, wsdl2java
generates a bunch of RMI like stubs and skeletons and
interfaces. I guess this effort is for the JAX-RPC
support? For people doing Web Services this seems
irrelevant? Maybe because of my lack of knowledge on
JAX-RPC? What exactly is the JAX-RPC support have
anything to do with SOAP web services?
Thanks,

In chapter 19 (page 137 of my printout of the PDF version) JAX-RPC lists
two examples (ie they are unfortunately not normative) of XMLWriter and
XMLReader interfaces.
Having some form of standard way at that level would imho be valuable,
is there any chance that that will happen? How is it handled within
Axis? Replacing their XMLReader with JAXP would imho be a good idea, but
what is used where the XMLWriter is concerned?

not really; JAX-RPC is the jav standard way of writing servers and clients,
the idea being the code you can then write is going to work across different
implementations of the API, just like JAXP lets you switch between xerces or
cimson

see http://iseran.com/Steve/papers/interop for my thoughts on that topic

Thank u for the response. I am not familiar with the
underlying implementation of AXIS. Even JAX-RPC is its
fundation, all that should really be transparent to
the web services developers. Looking at the samples,
some of them doesn't the stub and skeleton stuff, just
and client and a service, handlers(if any), like the
message smaple, attachment sample and the ones under
usersguide. Could you explain when the JAX-RPC is
needed? also are you going to have interoperability
issues (with .NET) when JAX-RPC is exposed?
Thanks,

does that too

no, wsdl2java is nearly essential to a build process.

more your lack of knowledge on how to use wsdl2java - look at all its otions
and play with it.
>What exactly is the JAX-RPC support have anything to do with SOAP web
services?
JAX-RPC is the underlying standard API for SOAP in Java,
