Trying to get a webservice up and running. Right now, I’m just bouncing the parameter back and forth. Fought with getting a valid wsdl, but finally got past that.
WSDL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://core"
    xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"
    xmlns:impl="http://core" xmlns:intf="http://core"
    xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
    xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <!--WSDL created by Apache Axis version: 1.4
    Built on Apr 22, 2006 (06:55:48 PDT)-->
    <wsdl:types>
         <schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
        targetNamespace="http://core"
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
            <element name="convertToHtml">
                <complexType>
        <sequence>
            <element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
            <element name="document" type="xsd:string" />
        </sequence>
                </complexType>
            </element>
            <element name="convertToHtmlResponse">
                <complexType>
        <sequence>
            <element maxOccurs="unbounded"
              name="convertToHtmlReturn" type="xsd:string" />
        </sequence>
                </complexType>
              </element>
        </schema>
    </wsdl:types>
    <wsdl:message name="convertToHtmlResponse">
        <wsdl:part element="impl:convertToHtmlResponse" name="parameters" />
    </wsdl:message>
    <wsdl:message name="convertToHtmlRequest">
        <wsdl:part element="impl:convertToHtml" name="parameters" />
    </wsdl:message>
    <wsdl:portType name="HtmlService">
        <wsdl:operation name="convertToHtml">
            <wsdl:input message="impl:convertToHtmlRequest"
                name="convertToHtmlRequest" />
            <wsdl:output message="impl:convertToHtmlResponse"
                name="convertToHtmlResponse" />
        </wsdl:operation>
    </wsdl:portType>
    <wsdl:binding name="HtmlServiceSoapBinding"
        type="impl:HtmlService">
    <wsdlsoap:binding style="document"
        transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />
    <wsdl:operation name="convertToHtml">
        <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction="" />
        <wsdl:input name="convertToHtmlRequest">
            <wsdlsoap:body use="literal" />
        </wsdl:input>
        <wsdl:output name="convertToHtmlResponse">
            <wsdlsoap:body use="literal" />
        </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>
    </wsdl:binding>
    <wsdl:service name="HtmlService">
        <wsdl:port binding="impl:HtmlServiceSoapBinding"
            name="HtmlService">
    <wsdlsoap:address
        location="http://localhost:8081/HtmlService" />
    </wsdl:port>
    </wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

XFire generates a method which take two strings as input and a List as output, which is fine. However, when I attempt to connect with it either throught ws Explorer or the test client I get no joy. I’m running it locally on Tomcat 6 outside of Eclipse. Using the sandbox always gives me headaches. My version of MyEclipse is 6.0.1 GA Pro. Anyway, the errors are as follows:
WS Explorer:
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
302
Moved Temporarily
Client:
Jun 12, 2008 9:58:17 AM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector isRedirectNeeded
INFO: Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled
test client completed
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Can you try this solution:-
http://www.nabble.com/HTTP302,-followRedirects-from-Acegi-secured-webservice-td13387400.html

Does it work for you?

I found that one and was on the verge of trying it when I looked at the generated classes ConvertToHtml.java and ConvertToHtmlResponse.java at the top there is a comment like:

/**
 * <p>Java class for anonymous complex type.
 * 
 * <p>The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within this class.
 * 
 * <pre>
 * <complexType>
 *   <complexContent>
 *     <restriction base="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType">
 *       <sequence>
 *         <element name="convertToHtmlReturn" type="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
 *       </sequence>
 *     </restriction>
 *   </complexContent>
 * </complexType>
 * </pre>
 */

so I used those to align my wsdl with what the class was expection as follows:

<element name="convertToHtmlResponse">
    <complexType>
        <complexContent>
            <restriction base="xsd:anyType">
                <sequence>
    <element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="convertToHtmlReturn"  type="xsd:string" />
                </sequence>
            </restriction>
        </complexContent>
    </complexType>
</element>

that changed my error to:
org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: Parameter {http://core}convertToHtml does not exist!
so I googled that and came up with this discussion:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-printview-t-16472-start-0.html
he’s talking about the pitfalls of using a wsdl generated elsewhere in MyEclipse (ME).
Mine was generated by Axis2 java2wsdl, I had used axis before and knew that it did a good job of this.
Was driven to that because ME seems to only generate a generic wsdl that I went crazy trying to edit and validate.

Jim, we are glad you figured out what was going on. Moving forward MyEclipse will be focusing on supporting industry standards like JAX-WS for web services and our tooling around it is quite nice (starting in the 6.5 release).

I don’t know if that will change your web services roll-out plans or not, just wanted to make you aware of it.
