Method Overloading in WSDL

There is no direct way to overload java method in WSDL, WSDL does not support Overloading mechanism, but you can achive this through other ways. This will be done through RequestWrapper and ResponseWrapper Annotation. Those Annotations are need to be included in Service Implementation Bean(SIB). There is no harm if you add those in Service Implementation(SI). But SIB is mandatory.

@RequestWrapper - have localName, targetNamespace and class. For method overloading you have to specify class name field.

@ResponseWrapper - have same fileds as RequestWrapper, here also you have to specify class name field.
