i spent some time to get a deeper look to the web service wizards of MyEclipse 5.0M2 and here are my remarks, questions & other stuff:

1. when you use top-down wizard, the generated code is not completely java 1.5 (or tiger). this line (in the class NameOfServiceClient)

Code:

private HashMap endpoints = new HashMap();

should be

Code:

private HashMap<QName, Endpoint> endpoints = new HashMap<QName, Endpoint>();

or (more general)

Code:

private HashMap<Object, Object> endpoints = new HashMap<Object, Object>();

2. when you use top-down wizard, you can enter a wsdl-url, but each time you have to re-enter the complete url. it would be very nice and handy if this was a combo that memorizes every url you have already chosen (so if you have 2 similar urls with subtle differences, you type in the first and then for the second: you select the first one, make the changes instead of typing it in from scratch

3. i have a own bean Resultaat (containing an int and a String). One of my web services has a method with the signature (purpose of this method: given the name of a table, return an object of type Resultaat containing the name of the table and the number of rows in the table):

Code:

@WebMethod public Resultaat getAantalRecords(@WebParam(name="tabelNaam") String tabel)

when i use the top down wizard and i select the appropriate wsdl, my own Resultaat-class is overwritten by a generated one (makes no difference in which package i put this class, nor if i fill in the package input field in the wizard, it's always overwritten). so my code got broken, because i use in the method implementation some methods and a constructor that don't exist in the generated one. Is this some bug or how do i have to solve this?

I've sent this to the team working on WS, thank you for the detailed feedback.

is there some work-around for 3. ?

I'm hoping someone from the team will reply, I'll ping them.

i installed the 5.0 GA release today (first de-installed the M2-release of course) and then i had a look at the 3 points i posted in this thread.

None of those 3 got solved and for number 3 that's a big problem for me, because i need it. so is there a work-around ???

some weeks ago i had the same question, but no answer so i assumed no work-around. maybe i have now more luck

i keep asking this question until it's answered: is there a workaround for this issue (as posted in the first post of this thread):

We've been discussing strategies to tackle the bigger issue here, while we don't have a perfect workaround, something you could do is create another source folder just for generated files and generate the WS classes into that directory and then just erase the duplicate Resultaat class.
