Multiple EJBs with 1 WSDL

[natebowler]

I've got about 200 APIs that are spread over 15 EJB SSB classes. These APIs share a common set of complex types that are quite extensive.

Because of the complex data types and large number of APIs, I am interested whether it is possible to have a single WSDL file that could distribute the implementation for specific calls across the 15 EJB classes I have.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Yes, this can be done if you manually consolidate the generated wsdls. Then use @WebService(wsdlLocation="bigservice.wsdl")

OK. So, really this is as simple as changing the webservices.xml file

<wsdl-file>META-INF/wsdl/TestAPI.wsdl</wsdl-file>

entry and nothing else (I'm not using JSR181, I'm using ws-tools and XDoclet)

If I put the WSDL back together appropriately, it should all fall out. The WSDL ports defined with webservices.xml with proper port compenent and service endpoint settings will do the rest...
