… can’t work it out. Wsdl defined like this:

<message name="submitQuotation">
    <part element="tns:submitQuotation" name="parameters"/>
</message>
<message name="submitQuotationResponse">
    <part element="tns:submitQuotationResponse" name="parameters"/>
</message>
<portType name="QuotationWebServiceDelegate">
    <operation name="submitQuotation">
        <input message="tns:submitQuotation"/>
        <output message="tns:submitQuotationResponse"/>
    </operation>
</portType>

… but when I create a new web service client from the MyEclipse menu, the resulting delegate class looks like this:

@WebService(name = "QuotationWebServiceDelegate", targetNamespace = "https://supply.ws.zodiac.mgms.com/")
public interface QuotationWebServiceDelegate {

  /**
   * 
   * @param errorMessage
   * @param resultCode
   * param quotationSubmission
   */
  @WebMethod
  @RequestWrapper(localName = "submitQuotation", targetNamespace = "https://supply.ws.zodiac.mgms.com/", className = "com.mgms.zodiac.ws.supply.SubmitQuotation")
  @ResponseWrapper(localName = "submitQuotationResponse", targetNamespace = "https://supply.ws.zodiac.mgms.com/", className = "com.mgms.zodiac.ws.supply.SubmitQuotationResponse")
  public void submitQuotation(
    @WebParam(name = "quotationSubmission", targetNamespace = "") QuotationSubmission quotationSubmission,
    @WebParam(name = "resultCode", targetNamespace = "", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> resultCode,
    @WebParam(name = "errorMessage", targetNamespace = "", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<String> errorMessage);
}

The method returns void, and the properties of SubmitQuotationResponse are included as parameters with mode=OUT. If I want it to just return SubmitQuotationResponse, what do I need to do? The confusing thing is that, apart from the return value being an int and not a custom class, the Calculator tutorial (https://www.genuitec.com/products/myeclipse/learning-center/ws/jax-ws-web-services-clients-tutorial/) example wsdl is structured the same way but creates a method returning an int.

Clearly my lack of understanding, but would appreciate help in knowing why there’s a difference…

Many thanks,
Neil

Ok …. I’ve resolved the problem by changing the operation name from submitQuotation to submitTheQuotation, after reading this – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10169072/jax-ws-wsimport-generates-webmethod-with-void-return-same-request-responsewrap.

My ‘host’ web service from which the wsdl was generated was defined like this:

@WebMethod(operationName="submitQuotation", action="submitQuotation")
public @WebResult(name="submitQuotationResponse") SubmitQuotationResponse 
    submitQuotation(@WebParam(name="quotationSubmission") QuotationSubmission quotationSubmission) {
    
...
}

so I explicitly named the operation submitQuotation, but had not seen any documentation that warned against using the same name. Guess it’s a problem.

Hope that helps someone 🙂
