Forgot to say that the wsdl that I'm using confirms that use=3D"literal"
and style=3D"document".

I've already used wsdl2java to create a web service from a remote wsdl
file that I've received.  My web service is working and I have a client
that is succesfully accessing it and retrieving data.  But how would
wsdl2java know my schema definition?  It didn't generate a class that
represents the data model.  It just generated 6 java files: TZCService,
TZCServiceLocator, TZCServiceSoap, TZCServiceSoapImpl,
TZCServiceSoapSkeleton, and TZCServiceSoapStub.  There is nothing that
contains the xml return document elements.  Do I need to put an xsd file
somewhere?  In my xml namespace or target namespace?

If someone could provide some step-by-step process on how to do this, I
would GREATLY appreciate it.

Don't feel foolish, we are not born knowing this stuff!

Start with a WSDL document then the WSDL2Java tool (part of Axis) can be
used to generate a data model in the form of classes with persistence
methods (serialization/deserialization). Consequently, Axis is able to
generate and parse the XML for you. Alternatively or additionally, if
you like, you can handle the SOAP payload as a document. Documents have
the advantage of being something more tangible than mere parameters.
Originators can sign documents, for instance. Documents can be stored in
a variety of places, e.g. a search engine or a database.

Yup, I'm a newbie and feel foolish now, but I need to ask some more
questions about this.  I've looked at the Axis user guide and some other
sites and I'm still confused about how to map the returned xml document
to a Java object.  How do you  do this?  Will Axis do this automatically
for me or do I have to parse the returned xml string myself?

Thanks for your help,
Jan

Find out about document-literal, Jan.

Subject: Passing an xml string as a parameter


I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.  I am going to
access another company's web service and the input parameter to the web
service is an xml string that represents a query request for data.  The
response that I get back is also an xml string. So, instead of passing
multiple parameters, we are just passing on xml string parameter.  So I
guess the soap packet would be xml within xml which seems kind of odd.

I guess it will probably work, but is this an ok way to do things?  Just
curious about people's thoughts on something like this.

Thanks,

Jan
