Enhance WSDL2Java with an API that gives more control over which artifacts you want/need generated. This MAY be reasonable to expose on the command line, but lets not give a poor user too many obscure options. :-) make it something that you can spec in the ant task and all will be well. One thing I'd like for that would be some way to determine which files would be created and so do dependency checking; right now wsdl2java either regenerates the java files or warns that they exist; for some uses you want to create the files whenever the sourcei s newer. (its more complex than that, as GET foo?wsdl usually returns a timestamp of now, but I'm working on a solution there) > > This sounds like the kind of changes that would be more widely beneficial to everyone, don't you think? > > -- > Tom Jordahl > Macromedia Server Development > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Anthony Elder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 7:53 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [axis] WSDL2Java enhancements for WSIF > > > In WSIF we use the AXIS WSDL2Java tool to generate the interfaces and > complex type classes that WSIF requires. > > Currently WSDL2Java will always also generate the stub classes that WSIF > does not require, and also when using WSDL that includes some of the WSIF > specific bindings WSDL2Java will abend.
