axis web service parameters lose their names.

[jeremy]

I have written a method that I expose as an axis web service. The
parameter names in my java code do not get exported correctly to the
wsdl and I don't know why.

The java method syntax looks like:

public void UpdateIt(long lId, bool bGetBooleanFields)
{
}

and the wsdl looks like (snippets):

<wsdlutput message="impl:UpdateItResponse"
name="UpdateItResponse" />
</wsdlperation>

<wsdl:message name="UpdateItRequest">
<wsdlart name="in0" type="xsd:long" />
<wsdlart name="in1" type="xsd:boolean" />
</wsdl:message>

<wsdl:message name="UpdateItRequest">
<wsdlart name="in0" type="xsd:long" />
<wsdlart name="in1" type="xsd:boolean" />
</wsdl:message>

If you examine the .class file you'll discover that the method
bytecode does not include names for symbols, including parameters.
You need to annotate the individual method parameters with
@WebParam(name="foo") or use the corresponding XML configuration in
order to control the names in the generated WSDL and web service
invocation mapping.
