Changing server name

Question

Hello SAP gurus,
I have created a proxy for accessing a web service on a remote server. It works fine
Now I wish to move to the productive remote server (which has an other name and IP but has the same WSDL)
Of course I can generate again the proxy but I find this solution not so nice, as we have to generate all the java code just because a change in the server name
I have looked in the code and found that the server name is hard coded in the java file  xxxBindingStub.java
super._setEndpoint("http://server_name:server_port/Scenario2Service/Scenario2Port");
The server name is also referenced in lports_1.xml
<LogicalPort Name= Endpoint='http://server_name:server_port/Scenario2Service/Scenario2Port' ....>
I have tried to change these 2 files but it seems it is not enough
How have you manage the server name change ? by regenerating all the proxy, by editing it (if so, which files have you changed ?)

Hi,
I do agree this is hassel as of now if you are working in Java environment, but there is no shortcut to this and it is very complicated as well.
My suggestion is to create another proxy.
Other possible way is to use "Service Registry" for this (not tested). Use service registry to refer your "remote service" and use service registry wsdl for coding.
Whenever url is changed, chage it in service registry and your client application should work.
