Re: [Axis2] Google SoC - DFDL Advice

[Eran Chinthaka]

Hi Mark, Today, in our weekly chat, Dennis expressed his willingness to integrate XBIS binary stuff with Axis2. So I think u don't need to do that. Anway, Denis is the one who wrote it so he knows in and out of XBIS than anyone. But at the same time Axis2 team wanted to have some other impl of binary stuff in to Axis2. So you still have some more space to contribute. -- Chinthaka Mark Pimentel wrote: Hi everyone, Chinthaka and I will likely move forward with trying to implement a StAX parser for Dennis' XBIS format for Axis2, instead of sticking with DFDL. Does that sound reasonable to everyone?

I forgot to mention .. I would like to introduce a typed pull API (extending StAX) into Axis2 (and implement it the obvious way). When data binding is in place and if the data is being serialized, for non-string data this can make a big difference. A common use case is using Axis2 to deal with large numerical data sets .. if we go with a binary typed stax approach, there's no intrinsic reason that should be any slower or memory intensive than any other binary protocol approach. After v1.0, of course ;-). Sanjiva.
