Re: Required Fields

[Todd Orr]

I don't know how. I imagine a world where I can put a little @required annotation next to a property in my pojo. The java2wsdl would recognize this and produce the correct schema. Forgive me, I'm still getting a handle on SOAP. Maybe I've got pie in the sky hopes. I've gotten used to working with (what I've found to be) highly productive frameworks like ejb3, spring, and tapestry. I feel like something is missing here. I will hand code this stuff if I have to, but this solution has improvement written all over it. I've looked around a little bit ( http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/releases.html, for example) and I don't see any roadmap for these type of conveniences.  Are there any plans to ease our burdens?

AH!  that's backwards from the way i build my services.  sorry, dunno
that one - how WOULD Java2WSDL be able to tell that a field is required
vs optional?  it seems to use primitives for required fields,
object-wrappers for optional.  but i'm not sure if it works in reverse.
good luck.
