Thanks for the tip Thomas. I've already done this for my @WebService annotations. The real problem I am having is with passing java objects as parameter or return values from the @WebMethods. The WSDL generated places the java objects in their own WSDL namespace named after the java package in which they reside. BUT, there is a DUPLICATE definition of each java object in the WSDL namespace as well where the @WebService (targetNamespace) is defined. This seems a little strange. What I really want to do, is have all java objects in a shared 'types' namespace and have every other namespace reference them (like a header file). Surely this can be achieved? I am using jboss-ws 1.0.2. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3969342#...
