title: Generating Spring WS Client from RPC/encoded WSDL with ease?
body: <p>Greetings everyone,</p>
  
  <p><em>Prior to my specific question, I'd like to mention that I am not looking for a step by step solution but for a possible YES or NO whether or not I will be able to achieve my goal with what I'm planning.</em></p>
  
  <p><strong>What I've got:</strong></p>
  
  <p>A <strong>wsdl</strong> that was autogenerated by Axis 1.3 an that is RPC/encoded. - I dont have any influence on the Webservice per se.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I try to achieve:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Generating a Spring WS Client from that wsdl.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I "know"</strong>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>RPC/encoded WSDLs are deprecated and not "supported" by Spring WS</li>
  <li>Spring WS can deliver any valid XML</li>
  <li>I have to get the schema from the WSDL - > .xsd</li>
  <li>I'm doomed.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>What I'm not sure of:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>is the .xsd enough or do I need to generate/write an .xjb to generate the Classes?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>The Question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is it possible for me to get the .xsd from the RPC/encoded WSDL and generate my Java Classes for the Spring WS Client without too much "hacking around"? Or should I just go along with developing cruel Axis 1.3 generated Classes with all their miseries?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
