EJB WSDL not generated properly?

[johannes_gilbert]

Hello everybody,

I have set up a EJB with the following code:

import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
 
import beans.HelloWorldEARBean;
 
@WebService(name="HelloWorldEARBean",serviceName="HelloWorldEARBeanService",targetNamespace="http://beans/",portName="HelloWorldEARBeanPort") 
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC )
@Stateless public class HelloWorldEARBean {
	@WebMethod public String sayHello(@WebParam(name="testStr") String testStr){
		
		return "Hello Mr. "+testStr;
  }
 
}

Afterrwards I "converted" it to a WebService with the SAP Developer Studio wizard and deployed it.

Than I tried to call my WeService via SOAP (form a PHP script). The call works, but the sent parameter isn't processed, the result is "Hello Mr. null".

So I changed between

@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC )

and

@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT )

it's crazy! So first I use

@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT )

in the EJB, save the WSDL file locally.

Afterwards I changed the Annotation @SOAPBinding to

@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC )

Than I use the local XML file (provided by the WebService in DOCUMENT mode) to connect to the WebService.<b> Result: It works!</b>

Now I analysed both XML files and customized the "local" XML to nearly the WebService's XML. There is only one difference remaining (which makes the script working or not):

the "local" XML (working):

<wsdl:part name="testStr" element="tns:sayHello"/>

the remote XML (not working):

<wsdl:part name="testStr" type="p0:string"/>

I don't tried the SOAP connection only with PHP but also with JAVA (Apache AXIS).

In the PHP forum somebody mentioned that maybe the Java wizard creates a "broken" WSDL (link: ).

Is there any possibility to change this behavior?

Because I don't always want to use the "local" XML file. (I don't think this was the idea when providing WebServices.)
