Hi guys, we have a patch done for org.apache.axis2.description.AxisService related to the JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-1790. With this patch Axis2 can be configured to set all location and schemaLocation paths to absolute URI paths if they are relative. As we know this URI may has relative or absolute path ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-1-20041028/structures.html#element-import), so the relative path is absolutely legal. Anyway, using absolute paths solves some interoperability issues. I realize that in fact there is no problem with Axis2 itself, but we can think of this patch as an enhancement. The question is if you think we can include this into the official Axis2?
Additionally, I want to mention two things related to the code of org.apache.axis2.description.AxisService: 1) The first one is the vague role of the "wsdlImportLocationAdjusted" field. IMHO the use of this parameter is error-prone. If you have a look at the printDefinitionObject() method you can see that this field is set to "true" when WSDL is requested for the very first time. Before that changeImportAndIncludeLocations(definition) method is invoked. The problem here is that at every successive invocation this method is no more called and as a result WSDL returned may differ. Can you give some more information why this field is needed, since if it is no needed then it is better to be removed? 2) The second thing is with the method: public String[] getEPRs() throws AxisFault. It throws AxisFault which exception is a checked one that is never thrown. So the user is forced to catch this exception when he wants to use this public class. I am expecting your comments. Thank you in advance, Dobri
