(adding [axis2] prefix)
Am talking about all 5 interop tests
(http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/soapbuilders/index.html). BUT
only those that are rpc/lit or doc/lit.
I disagree, dims - I think we should do them all including RPC/enc
(RPC/enc is a goal for 1.0). There is already some support for SOAP
encoding (1.1 and 1.2) in the databinding stuff I started working on,
and it should work fine. Arrays will still need some tweaking, but
multirefs are already working.
What we need is simply to tie the XMLSchema model into generated classes
which supply TypeDesc metadata (org.apache.axis2.databinding.metadata),
then make sure to use the RPCInOutMessageReceiver in ..axis2.rpc.
Problems:
#1) Even relatively small schemas generates tons of code with
XMLBeans. See Simon's numbers for salesforce.com
#2) Lot of people want to use simple pojo's for better integration
with their existing code otherwise they will have to write bridge
classes between the xmlbeans classes and their code
+1
On a somewhat related note - what do people think about making the
default databinding "none" instead of XMLBeans? In other words, when
you point WSDL2Java at a WSDL, it should generate stubs by default that
simply take/return OMElements. If you want databinding at all, you set
up an option (command line, config file in current dir, config file in
home dir) to do it.
