Title: Feature Request: Use of XML Schema for Interface Restrictions

Jan,   This is a long standing enhancement request to Axis 1.x.   We have no plans to address this in Axis 1.x, as Axis 2.0 will interface to various data binding libraries (XMLBeans, JAXB, etc) and we expect that they would be able to support the enforcement of Schema restrictions. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia Server Development From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 3:38 AM To: axis-dev@ws.apache.org Subject: Feature Request: Use of XML Schema for Interface Restrictions      -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von:    Wegener, Jan, DCO  Gesendet:       Donnerstag, 28.

So if you want to restrict the type to certain values you either have to manually modify the wsdl or write the checks in Java Code. Wouldn´t it be nice to generate some restrictions from the given interface? A possible solution could be to use annotations in the interface to define some basic restrictions: @argumentLength(7, 1) to define a maximum length of seven for the first argument of the method annotated @argumentPattter("*foobar*", 1) to define a pattern for String arguments The goal is to be able to use the possibilities of XML Schema better for defing the Web Service Interface with minimal manual modification since you want to write java code and generate all needed XML out of your interface. Because writing/modifying WSDL Files by hand is quite error-prone since the wsdl can become pretty complicated. greetings Jan Wegener IT Architecture & Systems ------------------------------------------------- arvato direct services An der Autobahn 33310 Gütersloh Germany <http://www.arvato.com/>
