Re: Message style services - ATTN ANY java:MSG USERS

[Rick Rineholt]

Glen,

When you say "I'd like to make THESE THREE the accepted APIs for
message-style service methods" are you just implying  these are the return
and parameter signatures?  Or these are THE names of methods?

Is option 3 as described in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-dev&m=101853538321442&w=2
 similar to support we had previously except namespace sensitive?
Let me illustrate a case:

Pertinent WSDL:

  <wsdl:binding name="PhonyTrans" type="notimportant">
    <wsdlsoap:binding style="document"
                      transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
    <wsdl:operation name="MerchDescription">
      <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction="" style="document"/>
      <wsdl:input>  <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:input>
      <wsdl:output> <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>

    <wsdl:operation name="POR">
      <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction="" style="document"/>
      <wsdl:input>  <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:input>
      <wsdl:output> <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>
  </wsdl:binding>

Pertinent WSDD:
<service name="mapped" style="message" provider="java:MSG">
    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
  <parameter name="className" value="PhonyService"/>
  <operation name="MerchDescription" qname="ns:MerchDescripition"
xmlns:ns="http://phony.com"/>
  <operation name="POR" qname="ns:POR"
xmlns:ns="http://phony.com"/>
</service>

Pertinent Java:
My class:
class PhonyService{
public SOAPBodyElement [] MerchDescription(SOAPBodyElement [] bodies){...}
    //Parms determined by introspections
public Element [] POR(Element [] bodies){..} //Parms determined by
    introspection
}

Or am I way off target here?

Thanks.

Subject:    Message style services - ATTN ANY java:MSG USERS




OK, I have dispatch to multiple methods in message-style services working
in my sandbox.  This has the added bonus of speeding up message-based
services because we now avoid introspection on every call - the initial
introspection in ServiceDesc now understands what type of message method
(Vector, Document, etc) we have so the MsgProvider can use that cached
info.

While we're in there, I'd suggest rationalizing the APIs for message based
backends, as discussed in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-dev&m=101853538321442&w=2.
(incidentally I think it's funny that I was set to do exactly this work
back in April - the dispatch stuff now works pretty much exactly as in that
message)

I'd like to make THESE THREE the accepted APIs for message-style service
methods:

public class MessageService {
    public SOAPBodyElement [] bodyMethod(SOAPBodyElement [] bodies)

    public SOAPEnvelope envelopeMethod(SOAPEnvelope envelope)

    public Element [] bodyAsDOMMethod(Element [] bodies)
}

I think these make a lot more sense than what we've got now.

IF THIS WILL AFFECT YOU IN A NEGATIVE WAY, or IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THESE
CHANGES, please send mail to axis-dev in reply to this message.

Thanks!
