He he - didn't mean to put you on the spot Dan - but I think you are
right so I will chase it
in the Axis lists.

Do you know if Axis 1.x can generate document/literal or only
rpc/encoded? I am wondering if setting
the OPERATION_STYLE_PROPERTY to document would do the trick.
I believe Axis1 can do doc/literal. JAX-RPC did require some level of
support for that so I'm pretty sure Axis1 implemented it. Not sure how to go
about configuring it to do so. I'm not an Axis1 user. :-)

Demetris,
If your place has a big investment in RPC/encoded, perhaps one of you
would like to pick up the project that one of our committers started
of adding RPC/encoded support to CXF. If you do it, you get to ensure
that it works with your services :-). I'd be happy to mentor someone
in figuring out where Dain left off.

Of course I do see infrastructures here in production still using Axis
1.x without any plans on
migrating while other systems come into play with Axis 2 etc. and
interoperability between the
two sides is impossible - and of course the rest of us will need to sit
in between and needing to
do our own translations - not good.
In any case, CFX is a pretty impressive project so I have a feeling I
will be adapting it to my
work.
Cheers

That's what I figured ;) Thanks for the info Benson.
Now regarding inteconnection of Web Services across implementations,
if there is no bridge
between the old RPC/encoded and CFX, at least I am assuming that newer
versions would
be able to handle SOAP calls across them or not? This is something I
never tried/looked into
while I worked exclusively with Axis so I was wondering.
Pretty much none of the modern SOAP toolkits support RPC/encoded.
Axis2 doesn't. CXF doesn't. Metro/JAX-WS RI doesn't. Etc....
Basically, rpc/encoded was such an interopability nightmare that it
really fell into the bucket of "You REALLY REALLY don't want to use
it." If you want interopability, you really need to migrate to one
of the literal forms.

OK, that message is buried in the substrate somewhere. I'm not sure
that I agree with it :-) In practical terms, we just don't have the
code or RPC/encoded.
I'm unaware of anything you can use to interconnect an old Axis
RPC/encoded service with CXF.

Hi Benson,
the reason I mentioned JAX-WS is because a WSDL file that I passed
to WSDL2JS returned
"RCP/encoded WSDLs are not supported in JAX-2.0". I had a feeling it
is "neither here nor
there" but I wanted to double-check - I think I know what the issue
is now after reading the
corresponding documentation but I will return and send more info if
I cannot resolve it.
A separate question - is there a "bridge" between Axis WS and its
tools and CFX? Can an Axis
WS client call a CFX-implemented WS and vice versa or not?
Thanks

Demetris,
CXF includes the ability to build Soap 1.1 Javascript clients for
doc/lit and rpc/lit services. JAX-WS is relatively neither here nor
there.
The code can be run in two modes. You can run the tool as a
standalone, and you get Javascript that (with the utility file
supplied) will run anywhere that has a compatible request object.
Or, you can ask any CXF-implemented web service to deliver a
javascript client, and one will be returned.
Have you read
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/javascript-clients.html?

And one more observation - because wsdl2js utilizes JAX-WS 2.0,
RPC/Encoded
documents are not supported. Is that correct?
Thanks again

Ok now that I played a bit with wsdl2js I am beginning to
understand what
you said below.
So one can use the wsdlurl in order to get the server to return
the script
- can you please
clarify a few things since I am new to this -
1. what kind of server are we talking about in this case?
2. The only way to generate the Javascript is through a remote
server
+ URL? If I have the WSDL
in my possesion how can I use this tool to generate the script of
me?
Thanks again

The tool is part of CXF, so it requires Java 1.5. Since its
output is Javascript, I don't understand why you need to run it
under J2ME.
In fact, you can just use the ?js URL form from the server to
get the server to generate it on the fly.

Hi all,
I am interested in generating Javascript stubs from a WSDL
file - I am
assuming that the WSDL2js tool is the
appropriate tool to use. Has anyone used this tool so that I
can ask a couple of Qs?
(1) Which Java version is the tool built on?
(2) Can I used it under J2ME-CDC to generate stubs for mobile
devices?
Thanks in advanced
