Webservices client code generation remain intact

Question

Whenever the webservice provider make some changes in the wsdl, everytime the consumer needs to generate the client code again(in case of axis and CXF). Is there any solution available for this?

You mean that the client could and should still work against the webservice even with those changes? — Aleja_Vigo, Jan 12 '12 at 09:44

If the webservice provider make change within the web methods it's not need to generate new client code. If there are any changes in method's signature or there are new methods that you'll use, then need generate new code from wsdl.

It depends on the changes made to the webservice. If it is one of these the client has to be recoded. If not the old clients should still be working:

Removing methods;
Changing method signatures;
Changing the bindings/behaviour (i.e. to use encryption).
