Hi Mauro,

I am not working in a big dev environment. But that doesn't make a
difference. Common schemas or parts of it isn't a problem.

I also have the webservice structure in SCM (svn in this case). Having
the generated code in there is the wrong usage of it in my opinion. This
causes duplication. What I do is:
- Check out the sources (using eclipse or another program/IDE who can
perform svn client operations);
- Let the IDE generate the sources (I use maven for this, but ant can
also be used);
- Now you have a working environment on your local machine (which should
be independent of IDE/OS etc);
- Go ahead and makes changes / improvements to your code. (I like the
test driven approach, but learning that atm);
- Try running them locally;
- If it works local, check out the newest version from the SCM (to adapt
with changes from other developers);
- If you got it working and the tests pass after this you check the
changes in to the SCM.

I hope this helps you. I think the important bit is to NOT duplicate
sources in the SCM (which you do imho with storing the generated
sources).

Regards,
Sietse

Hi Sietse,
I don't know which is your development environment, however here we have
a very huge web application for which we are going to write many web
services. These web services can have some data in common (think of
exceptions/faults, for instance) and this is why we need a shared
common.xsd.
We use environments like Eclipse and Netbeans to develop. Having the
webservice structure ready after a CVS checkout enables us to let the
IDE auomatically do the deployment and hit a couple of clicks to make
the webapp start inside our development environment, in order to test
and/or debug.
Adding a custom deployment phase like the replication of this XSD into
all services META-INF folders breaks this automation. Although there are
ways of partially solve this, it simply adds overhead to a process that
isn't working because of what seems to me just a minor flaw of Axis2.

Moreover, maybe I'm missing something, but I can hardly realize how you
could implement your webservices without putting the generated code (at
least the Java code) under version control... How do you fill your
skeleton with the implementation? How do you use type classes generated
from the WSDL if they are not available at development time?
