I'm using jython to script Apache Axis.

Axis has the ability to derive WSDL from a web service implementation
class, by reflecting on the class and generating the relevant WSDL
document.

If you use a jython object as the implementation class, the generated
WSDL is quite a mess, in that it contains WSDL declarations for all
the methods that implement jython interpretation.

In order to clean up the generated WSDL, I made a simple skeleton java
class that implements the web service, and that delegates all calls to
an instance of the jython class that actually implements the service.

I could imagine that decompiled jythonc'ed jython classes would be
quite hard to understand, especially if you're not familiar with
jython.

But certainly not impossible. It's more of a hindrance than a
showstopper.
