Russel,
You say "...But perhaps it SHOULD be generated because it COULD be used as an Object?" I say: "It SHOULD be generated because it WILL be used." -- Sylvain -----Original Message----- From: Russell Butek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: What should WSDL2Java generate on inheritance? Folks in axis-dev, there's a discussion going on in axis-user about what WSDL2Java generates. Given: > > <complexType name="Object"> > > <sequence> > > [...] > > </sequence> > > </complexType> > > > > <complexType name="Folder"> > > <complexContent> > > <extension base="types:Object"> > > <sequence> > > [...] > > </sequence> > > </extension> > > </complexContent> > > </complexType> > > > > <message name="addInput"> > > <part name="input" type="types:Object"/> > > </message> > > <message name="addOutput"> > > <part name="result" type="xsd:string"/> > > </message> > > > > <operation name="add"> > > <input message="cm:addInput"/> > > <output message="cm:addOutput"/> > > </operation> There are 2 types here: Object, and Folder (for which Object is the base). Object is generated because it's in the addInput message which is in the add operation. Folder is NOT generated because it isn't referenced anywhere. But perhaps it SHOULD be generated because it COULD be used as an Object? Question: what is the right thing to do?
