Nice parameter names generation in web-services.xml

Question

Hi
My session bean has explicit parameter names such as:
public void createCustomer(String name, String address, String telephoneNumber);
But inside web-services.xml for his operation, 'servicegen' generates parameters
name 'string, string0, string1'. Composing the xml becomes a tedious job!
Is there a way to have this file generated automatically but with the original
parameter names?
Thanks for the help,
guy

Can source2wsdd be applied to an EJB implementation - the doc mentions only Java class-implemented web service - has this been
fixed or being fixed in the next wls 7 service pack.

Thanks.

In WLS 7.0.1 onwards, using "source2wsdd" ant task (quo vide http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webserv/anttasks.html#1080421)
you would be able to preserve the parameter names.
For instance, if you do :
<source2wsdd
javaSource="MyService.java"
ddFile="web-services.xml"
typesInfo="temp_dir/WEB-INF/classes/types.xml"
serviceURI="/MyService" >
<classpath>
<pathelement path="temp_dir/WEB-INF/classes"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</source2wsdd>
Then, the signature of a method in the backend component,
public void testMethod( int a, float fval, String name ){
would get translated mapped inside web-services.xml as :
- <operation component="MyService" name="testMethod" method="testMethod">
- <params>
<param name="a" class-name="int" type="parms:int" style="in" xmlns:parms="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
location="body" />
<param name="fval" class-name="float" type="parms:float" style="in" xmlns:parms="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
location="body" />
<param name="name" class-name="java.lang.String" type="parms:string" style="in"
xmlns:parms="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" location="body" />
</params>
</operation>
where you would see that the parameter names are being preserved.
