Thanks for the reply. That is correct. I figured out a better way to call the WebService. Actually I was working on a prototype where we need to call a smalltalk WebService from JBoss so my basic requirement was I should be able to invoke a WebService based on only the WSDL and without writing cryptic code to create SOAP xml. I achieved it using Apache Axis. Axis has a nice tool WSDL2Java which generates all client side artifacts (including the stubs and JAXB binding objects) from a WSDL. I assume it will work the same way when I call the smalltalk service. Thanks again for the reply. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4016702#...
