[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-655?page=comments#action_12378348 ]
Dennis Sosnoski commented on AXIS2-655: --------------------------------------- I agree that the current approach is very awkward. If you're using scripted builds (such as Ant) you can use text substitution on the generated message receiver and services.xml to change the service implementation class to be whatever you want, but it's ugly to have to do this. Generating an interface and allowing the user to specify the actual implementation class for the services.xml seems like a step in the right direction. > Generated Skeleton difficult to use > ----------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS2-655 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-655 > Project: Apache Axis 2.0 (Axis2) > Type: Improvement > Reporter: Frank Cornelis > Assignee: Ajith Harshana Ranabahu > > When generating code starting from a WSDL you end up with a Skeleton. The > idea is to use this 'xxxSkeleton' to create your own 'xxxImpl', hence the > name skeleton I guess... > But, the problem with this is that this generated skeleton class is hardcoded > in a cast in in the generated xxxMessageReceiverInOut. So copying the > skeleton to your own Impl and letting services.xml point to this new Impl > 'ServiceClass' simply won't work. It really has to be 'xxxSkeleton'. So why > make it configurable in services.xml if it's hardcoded anyway? I also don't > thing I should manually change 'xxxMessageReceiverInOut' for each new 'Impl' > class I want to try out. Also, each time I run my codegen, the skeleton is > overwritten... is simply doesn't work this skeleton thing... it's pointless... > Also, it would be much better if you would have a nicely generated interface > to implement, instead of that skeleton thingy. The generated skeleton should > implement this interface. The 'xxxMessageReceiverInOut' should cast to the > interface type instead of cast to the 'skeleton'. That way you can point to > whatever 'xxxImpl' you want to, as long as you implement the correct > interface. Another benefit of using this interface approach is that a change > in the WSDL is directly reflected in a change of the interface you have to > implement. Thus you detect required changes in the 'Impl' during compilation > instead of runtime. > The above issues are really critical for Axis2 to be fully usable in a > production environment. If JAX-WS can do it, Axis2 should too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
