I am working on SOAP web service(contract first approach, WSDL is in place to define operation parameters and their datatypes). The languages in which client side code is written and server side code is written are different. While working on the same I got below queries. I have searched on the internet but did not get much help.
Suppose there is a parameter "param" whose datatype is "XXX". Now range of "XXX" datatype does not match with the range of server side language. Then, what will happen in this case? How the request parameter will be marshaled to server side though the datatype is same but range is different?
If client side code is generated in Java using Axis2, what would be the better approach while making the instance of stub class- for each request instance of Stub class should be created or Stub class instance should be created only once throughout the application and all the service calls should be made using that single stub instance?
Does the instantiation of stub make any connection with the service prior to actually calling service method? As per my knowledge it does not make any connection till actual service call is made and once the response is received the connection is close (until Http connection timeout). Is it so?
Thanks in advance.
