Hello all. A few very-newbie questions for you. My searches on the email list didn't generate any answers, so ...
I want to generate a service-config.wsdd for Axis. I'm not going the JAVA2wsdl / wsdl2JAVA route as my service classes, plus my data structure (as java beans) are already defined. So, all I need to do is annotate my classes using the XDoclet tags, and use the appropriate ant tasks to create my service-config.wsdd file. What I'm hoping XDoclet will do for me is to create the <service> and <beanMapping> entries in service-config.wsdd. Question one: I've found the @axis-service tags that I need to annotate my service classes with. Good. Which tags do I use to annotate my data structure beans with? Do I use @wsee? @ejb (the beans aren't EJBs)? @java? Question two: what ant task do I use to generate my service-config.wsdd? Do I use the <axisdeploy> subtask of <ejbdoclet>? Do I use <wseedoclet>? Do I use <doclet> along with a custom template? Ok. That's the important questions asked. Now, onto the curiosities (questions that aren't important, I'm just curious): Curiosity one: What does "wsee" stand for? I know, really silly question, but I can't find a reference to it's full name anywhere. Is this a platform / framework specific tag set (like bea / borland / etc), or does it stand for something like "Web Services Enterprise Ed."? Curiosity two: Why are the Axis tasks subtasks of the EJB task? My web service doesn't need to be composed of EJB's, and thus, I can create an axis service without EJBs. So, why do I need to use the EJB doclet in order to deploy / undeploy axis? Hopefully I haven't gotten on your nerves.
