Sorry, I'm new to BB.

Yes, it helped me. I wrote my special rule:

rule compile.wsdl ( targets + : sources * : properties * )
{
    DEPENDS $(<) : [ on $(<) return $(GSOAP_TYPEMAP_FILE) ] ;
}

Now it works fine. :)
Thank you.

Would you enlighten me on another question? Is it possible to write a
custom generator with variable number of output files depending on
features? Currently I use a long list of all possible generated types
and touch files that may not be generated.

WBR,
Denis.
