I know the Axis 2 people have started on some Java stuff to parse WSDL 2.0, but I don't think they have any stub generation yet. For my /SOAP/ serivces which have a WSDL 1.1 descriptor, I select several tools (say .NET, Axis, etc), generate stubs and write tests which use my service. I would recommend the same, but their are very few tools if any that handle WSDL 2.0/REST at this point. A WSDL 2.0 description for Yahoo, while neato, doesn't seem very useful to me yet... If you really wanted client stub generation for your users, you'd be best off making some kind of WSDL 1.1/SOAP gateway IMO :-\. - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions LLC http://netzooid.com
