Why is the WSDL selected by JAX-WS with every WS call?

Question

I play with NetBeans and JAX-WS, and I see that WSDL is called every time WS is called. Is there any way to avoid this? Is there any configuration?

Answer 1

This is due to late binding support and the many configuration options that WS-Policy and other WSDL functions bring to the table.

See the JAX-WS RI FAQ .

For a trivial case, yes, this is a little silly and adds some overhead. Once you get into a complex environment with several implementations working with slightly different configurations, that makes sense.
