Hi,

So you can write your WSDL by hand and then use a toolkit to generate  
the code or you write the code and then get a toolkit to generate the  
WSDL: either the way the toolkit is going to shaft you. It's so much  
easier if you do everything manually and use XML as much as possible.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
