Parameter Names in WSDL with significant name

java, jax-ws, web-services, wsdl

Solution

If you're generating your WSDL from your web service class, you may add `WebParam` annotations to the parameters of your methods to enforce naming in the WSDL. For example:

@WebService
public class FooService
{
    @WebMethod(operationName = "barMethod")
    public void bar (@WebParam(name = "bazArg") int baz)
    {
        ...
    }
}

The above snippet configures JAX-WS to use the name "bazArg" for the method's parameter name in the WSDL.

Problem

I am creating a WebService in Java using JAXWS RI. The WSDL file is created when deploying the application WAR automatically. The problem is that I want the arguments (that each operation recieves) in the WSDL file to have significant names, but they appear as arg0, arg1, arg2 ... Is there a way to define the names for this parameters and don't use the default names? I have implemented the following: The WebService Interface ``` @WebService @SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC) public interface WS2 { @WebMethod String confirmaXML(String lrt_id); } ``` The WebService Interface Implementation ``` @WebService(endpointInterface = "vital.tde.ws2.WS2") public class WS2Imp implements WS2{ public String confirmaXML(String lrt_id) { String respuesta = null; //CODE return respuesta; } ``` sun-jaxws.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime" version="2.0"> <endpoint name="WS2" implementation="vital.tde.ws2.WS2Imp" url-pattern="/WS2" /> </endpoints> ``` web.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0"> <display-name>WS2</display-name> <listener> <listener-class> com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener </listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>WS2</servlet-name> <servlet-class> com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>WS2</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/WS2</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout>120</session-timeout> </session-config> </web-app> ```
