OK, folks, Doug and I chatted a bit and here's what I plan to do for the
address book sample.  I'm not going to do this immediately, so y'all have a
bit of time to voice your concerns before I do something stoopid.

1.  Change the generation of deploy.xml to use the namespace rather than
the service name for the service name in deploy.xml.

2.  Add an option to Wsdl2java so it can generate deploy.xml with the line:

        <option name="scope" value="Session" />

     -d --deployScope <argument>
          add a scope option to deploy.xml where <argument> is one of
"Request", "Session", "Application"

3.  Once these are in place I will clean up the address book sample so that
it doesn't contain the generated code, but rather a readme file that tells
the user how to generate the code.

OK, since the name depends on how the server is configured, how do I
configure the server so that it recognizes the name that is automatically
generated in deploy.xml?  I'm new to this stuff.  I need enlightenment.

There are multiple way we try to identify the name of the web service - in
this case
it appears were picking up the namespace (instead of soapaction or url).
It all
depends on how the server is configured.  I wonder if it would make more
sense
to create a new sample since not all people will want to use WSDL we still
need
plenty of samples showing/proving that it is just an optional thing for
Axis.

I rewrote xml-axis/java/samples/addr.  It originally had a hand-generated
proxy.  It now uses the code generated from its WSDL file.  I was hoping I
could take the generated code as is without any modifications, but I wasn't
able to.

1.  The generated deploy.xml file needs the line

        <option name="scope" value="Session" />

in order for the 2nd half of the sample to work - where setMaintainSession
is set to true.  Should Wsdl2java have a deployScope option that accepts
"Request", "Application", or "Session"?

2.  The generated service name was AddressBook:

        <service name="AddressBook" pivot="RPCDispatcher">

That didn't work.  At runtime I got the error:  "The Axis engine couldn't
find a target service to invoke!".  The original sample's deploy.xml named
the service "urn:AddressFetcher2", so I changed the name in the generated
deploy.xml to that and it worked.  I don't really know what how the
deploy.xml file is used, so instead of diving into the code, I thought I'd
ask whether anyone could tell me why the service name apparently must be
the namespace?
