Glyn,
The JAX-RPC spec uses some of the JAXM data types (i.e. SOAPElement). See section 6.4.1, 6.4.2 and the example in section 6.4.3 of JAX-RPC version 0.7. In a nutshell, for literal use, if there is "no standard mapping for an XML schema type" a SOAPElement is used as the argument and return value of the stub function. We don't do this yet. We might not need to do this, as a sentence just caught my eye that says: "[there is not] a standard Java mapping for the xsd:complexType with xsd:attribute." We have a mapping for this (Beans with attribute elements). Also notice there is a TBD in the draft about SOAPElement. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia -----Original Message----- From: Glyn Normington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 4:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JAXM to-do Tom, I noticed a to-do item with your name against it: "We do not emit SOAPElement arguments per JAX-RPC yet." I'm currently plumbing in some of the javax.xml.soap interfaces into the org.apache.axis.message package which includes making MessageElement implement SOAPElement. What else would you to-do item require? (Also, shouldn't it refer to JAXM rather than JAX-RPC??) BTW I'm out the rest of today, back Wednesday. Glyn
