Hello
I' working on developing web services using axis. In out company we have
developed a lot of so called java "services". The "services" look like this:
public interface SomeService {
public TransferObject1 doSomeThing(TransferObject2, ...) throws
SomeException;
}
The TransferObjects have the folowing properties:
- They are Java Beans (means getter and setters, default constructor)
- The Transfer Object's leafs are so called "Business Values". This are
"strong typed" Types. They are imutable and define a "value set" for each.
- The transfer object does not use primitive java types as leaves.
We would now export our "services" as webservices.
I played a little bit around with the framework. So i can implement now:
- One Serializer and Deserilizer for the BusinessValues (and map them to
soap encoding).
- Use the BeanSerilizer/Deserialzer with my own subclasses.
But i'm not sure about the design. How would you solve the problem?
Some design questions:
- Would you write custum serializer/deserialier for the Transfer Objects and
Business Value's (BV).
- Would you use the BeanSerializer for the TransferObject?
- If I use custum serializer for the BV's how can i regsiter them for all my
services programmatically (e.x. like int/long/ ... in
DefaultTypeMappingImpl).
- Or would you write a Adapter for the service, using "normal" Java
properties.
Thx
Pascal
