wsdl

The file that contains the machine-readable description of how the web service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns.

The wsimport command generates the following JAX-WS portable artifacts. These artifacts can be packaged in a WAR file with the WSDL and schema documents and the endpoint implementation to be deployed. The wsimport command also provides a wsimport Ant task, see the Tools tab of the Wsimport Ant Task page at http://jax-ws.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/wsimportant.html

-quiet

Suppresses the wsimport command output.

Multiple JAX-WS and JAXB binding files can be specified using the -b option, and they can be used to customize various things such as package names and bean names. More information about JAX-WS and JAXB binding files can be found in the customization documentation at https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/customizations.html
