RE: [Axis2] Road Map for next release

[Tom Jordahl]

I think it is a bit misleading to characterize what I am expecting as being *everything*.  Axis 1.x doesn’t even come close to everything.  But it is still very useable.   What I would hope is that ADB can be used with a typical WSDL found in the wild – UDDI, Amazon.com, Google, etc, etc.  If it doesn’t work with the WSDL users are likely to want to consume, then they will just walk away.  Or maybe they will figure out how to use XMLBeans.  Maybe.   Just my 2 cents. -- Tom Jordahl     From: Eran Chinthaka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 9:06 PM To: axis-dev@ws.apache.org Subject: Re: [Axis2] Road Map for next release   One more comment. Can you all remember that we agreed to have a "Simple" data binding framework for Axis2, during the second Axis2 f2f ? We were very clear that we didn't want a full data binding tool. (Glen, Dims you all were there too.) So Tom, its unfair for you to expect *everything* from ADB. If you want full support use any of the existing data binding tools with Axis2. I think the existing stuff would be far better than Axis2 as they were built by domain experts. So do we need to re-invent the wheel here ?

Substitution groups? Attributegroups? Or would you not draw a line at all? If we do all of XML Schema then we are reinventing XMLBeans or somethingsimilar. That's clearly not the core competency of SOAP implementors; sowould that be a core part of a SOAP implementation.  I'm *really* hoping that Paul Downey's new WG [1] on schema patterns fordata binding does something useful so that we can stop this debate anddraw the line at that! Sanjiva.[1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/xsdb/
