Thanks! got it to work cause of your suggestion. Btw, my previous wasn't really clear. I wanted to create a soap service in which the body is dynamic. I have no choice since the wsdl I got defined it that way. Problem is that the classes i generated using wsconsume expected the first child element of the soap body to be always the same. Same as the element name used in wsdl. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4037376#...
