I have code for a .net webservice and a .net client for it that work
fine. I want to write a Java webservice that could be consumed by the
same client w/o changing any code (just the url). The problem is that
the c# service exposes a function which takes an out parameter. Since
Java doesn't have out parameters does anyone know how I would write a
Java function such that when I pass to java2wsdl or a similar tool it
would generate the correct wsdl?

I.e. the section of the wsdl that I'm concerned about is:

<s:element name="FunctionResponse">
<s:complexType>
<s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="FunctionResult"
type="s:boolean" />
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="outParameter"
type="s:string" />
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
</s:element>

there needs to be 2 elements in the response, the return value and the
out parameter.

Any input appriciated.

I'm not familiar with the .NET architecture, but since you're writing a
webservice, essentially what's happening is that the client makes an HTTP
request, and the server sends an XML document in response, right?

So just have your Java program/servlet/JSP script/whatever produce an
XML document in the same format.

And there are a fair number of methods by which
one can accomplish that. AFAICT, a popular one is
a JBoss/Struts/StrutsCX combination, for example.
Castor is a nice addition but their download area is
slightly unreliable right now.
