If the JSR's came up with a namespace <-> package mapping I would be inclined to do agree with you.
You also need to worry about array mappings. What if the QName is QName ("http://model.address.myapp", "ArrayOfAddress") ? in such cases it should figure out to map to model.address.myApp.Address []... I agree that I don't like the type mapping registration. I would much prefer something like the following: <namespaceMapping namespace="http:foo.com" package="my.foo.package" arrayQNamePrefix="ArrayOf" <!-- the following are optional attributes --> beanSerializerFactory = ... beanDeserializerFactory = ... arraySerializerFactory = ... arrayDeserializerFactory = ... /> So the above would indicate to map all qnames in the indicated namespace to classes of the indicated package. The arrayQNamePrefix setting indicates how to recognize array qnames.

May be there is a reason it is happening this way, but please refresh me on it. Here is what: By default Emitter generates type namespaces and type declarations like this: <wsdl:definitions ... xmlns:tns1="http://model.address.myapp" ...> <types> <schema targetNamespace="http://model.address.myapp" ...> <complexType name="Address"> ... This is basically for a class myapp.address.model.Address. So, why is it that I had to explicitly declare beanMappings during the deployment for proper ser/deser to be selected by the RPCHandler? It seems it is very easy to try and reconstruct a class name from the default assumption about the namespace format and then check if the class is loadable, then only apply explicit beanMappings. I'd really like to get it this simple. It is possible to change DefaultTypeMappingImpl to implement getTypeQName, getSerializer and getDesearializer to take care of it as explained above. Does anyone have objection or comments on this? -- Igor Sedukhin .. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- (631) 342-4325 .. 1 CA Plaza, Islandia, NY 11788
