Extend the schema generation providing ability to generate wrapped array types
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-4073
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4073
Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: kernel
Reporter: Detelin Yordanov
Currently the schema generator will create unwrapped array schema types, e.g.
for a String[]:
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="stringArray"
nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
It would be valuable if it could also generate array types in wrapped format
which is the default behaviour in .NET and JAX-WS, e.g.
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="stringArray" nillable="true"
type="ArrayOfString"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfString">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="string"
nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The wrapped format has certain benefits over the unwrapped one, more on this
can be found in this article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-array/ .
This option can possibly be configured with a parameter in the axis2
configuration (or per service level).
The parameter could be named "generateWrappedArrayTypes" or something like
this. The default should be not to generate wrapped array types as it is right
now providing backward compatibility.
