adding new operation in web service interface

[Nishnt Rayn]

I use axis2 web service framework and faced a painful issue recently.
This is what i faced,
1) My application invokes a web service method "A"
2) I wanted to define another method named "B" in my web service which performs a different operation altogher. Here is my service definition in wsdl,

.......
  <wsdl:message name="ARequest">
        <wsdl :-P	 art element="tns:A" name="parameters"/>
    </wsdl:message>
    <wsdl:message name="AResponse">
        <wsdl :-P	 art element="tns:AResponse" name="parameters"/>
    </wsdl:message>
 
    <wsdl :-P	 ortType name="Service">
        <wsdl :-o	 peration name="A">
            <wsdl:input message="tns:ARequest"/>
            <wsdl :-o	 utput message="tns:AResponse"/>
        </wsdl :-o	 peration>
        <wsdl :-o	 peration name="B">
            <wsdl:input message="tns:ARequest"/>
            <wsdl :-o	 utput message="tns:AResponse"/>
        </wsdl :-o	 peration>
    </wsdl :-P	 ortType>
 
    <wsdl:binding name="ServiceSOAP" type="tns:Service">
        <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
        <wsdl :-o	 peration name="A">
            <soap :-o	 peration soapAction="http://xyz.com/C/A"/>
            <wsdl:input>
                <soap:body use="literal"/>
            </wsdl:input>
            <wsdl :-o	 utput>
                <soap:body use="literal"/>
            </wsdl :-o	 utput>
        </wsdl :-o	 peration>
        <wsdl :-o	 peration name="B">
            <soap :-o	 peration soapAction="http://xyz.com/C/B"/>
            <wsdl:input>
                <soap:body use="literal"/>
            </wsdl:input>
            <wsdl :-o	 utput>
                <soap:body use="literal"/>
            </wsdl :-o	 utput>
        </wsdl :-o	 peration>
    </wsdl:binding>
    <wsdl:service name="Service" >
        <wsdl :-P	 ort binding="tns:ServiceSOAP" name="ServiceSOAP">
            <soap:address location="http://c.xyz.com"/>
        </wsdl :-P	 ort>
    </wsdl:service>
</wsdl :mrgreen: efinitions>

Should work right? WRONG!
No exception / error messages. axis without a hiccup invoked method A whenever my application invoked the new method "B".
I had to discover a services.xml where the A operation was defined and then add another operation B and worked like magic.
Why should i define the same operations in two places in the same project?
