Hi,
I am newbie to Web Services. Let me know if I should use other group
to post this question.

I have to use existing web services installed on a non-java server
from my JBoss java web application (with struts 2). I read a little
about Axis2 and xFire, but it seems that the requirements is to use
RPC/SOAP Encoding (as I see <soap:body use="encoded" in the WSDL
document that I should use). I must use HTTPS security with user/
password in the SOAP header.

The questions are:
1. Does the entry use="encoded" in the WSDL file mean that there is
SOAP encoding?

2. Is the best choice to use Java JAX-RPC (which is being replaced by
JAX-WS, but it does not support SOAP Encoding)

3. I believe there is many data types that I need to handle, so i need
to use Stubs (not dynamic). How can I generate the Stubs java code

Thanks and let me know if there are other newsgroups (google or non
google sites) that I can benefit from.

Thanks again.
Sam

Your best bet would be to get a hold of wsdl2java or Eclipse WTP,
which can generate java clients out of a WSDL. Once you feed these
tools the WSDL for the service(s), the java clients generated will be
stubs that can be used to access the services just like a local call.
