Re: Sharing common data types between multiple WSDL files

I am also in this situation, kind of. I am working with another party
who is providing the WSDLs to me. There are 3 or 4 of them that I
wscompile into different packages. They have common classes among each
and I am just left with the same definitions in different packages for
a number of classes. This doesn't pose a problem for me though, but
like you said may not be too desirable for some.

You are actually creating the service, so I'm curious to know if there
is a way to handle this.
