Re: Mozilla and automatic ?wsdl generation with Axis 1.0

[Dennis Sosnoski]

Mozilla 1.2.1 gives a beautifully rendered display of plain XML (including WSDL returned by the ?wsdl query), with a note at the top that "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

I wasn't aware there were any standards for how browsers are supposed to treat plain XML without stylesheets. Apparently a lot of people feel that whatever IE implements is a standard, though, and having this in Mozilla is certainly useful.

I'd tend to agree, and as far as I know, Mozilla is also slowly getting
some really nice XML viewing facilities that should fix this problem

I'd say this would be a hack that we should avoid. WSDL is XML and using the XML media type is appropriate. Mozilla should learn to treat the media type appropriately, we should not have to conform to the shortcomings of individual applications that we do not have any direct dependencies on.

Re: Mozilla and automatic ?wsdl generation with Axis 1.0



I have noticed that Mozilla displays the XML usefully if there is an HTTP
header saying the media type is "text/plain". And IE does OK in that
situation, as long as the content begins with an XML declaration (as is
already the case for the WSDL returned by Axis). What do you think of
making Axis return an HTTP header claiming the media type to be
"text/plain"?

Have you tried hitting the View Source button in your browser?

A lot of times, Mozilla doesn't display formatted XML.

Does anyone have this working with Mozilla and Axis 1.0? Axis seems
properly configured according to the happyaxis.jsp test page, and

tomcat

now reports no errors (I fixed the wsdd server-config error), but I
still can't automatically generate wsdl (even for the sample

services).

The Mozilla browser simply loads a blank page with no wsdl. Thanks

for

any insight you might have. -Eric
