JAX-WS WSDL seems odd

Question

I have create a JAX-WS web service using Netbeans, it's build successfully, and worked when I tested it with SOAPUI, but why this WSDL from JAX-WS is not very similar to "ordinary" wsdl I've seen on the internet.

For example definition tag, in ordinary wsdl the definition tag is <wsdl:definition> but in jax-ws wsdl it's just <definition> without wsdl word.

what happen? and how to make the jax-ws generates an ordinary wsdl ?

Answer 1

Look into the namespace of wsdl. If the namespace has a local-name like xmlns:wsdl="WSDL namespace value" then you will have to to use the wsdl:definition in the xml file. If the default namespace for the XML document is defined such that xmlns="WSDL namespace value" , then it is sufficient to day definition .

Here is a quick doc on understanding namespaces .
