Hi, All, There has been discussion about the "wrapper" style and the attributes in the past. And Axis does not support wrapper element attributes since JAX-RPC spec says that the wrapper element should not have attributes. I have no problem with it. But I do like people to clarify the following questions.
1. I know that it might be against the spec to have attributes for the wrapper element. But it is such a simple change on Axis to support attributes (I made minor change on client code generated with Axis tool and it worked) I am wondering why the JAX-RPC insists that there is no attributes for the wrapper element (.NET supports the attributes anyway)? Does anyone know the story behind this? 2. I did not read the whole JAX-RPC spec and so what I said might be wrong. Correct me if it is the case. Since attributes are such a big part of xml schema and if I use the attributes to go with the UN-wrapped style does Axis support it? My test revealed that it did not with v1.1. Is there a patch or will it be supported in Axis 1.2 for un-wrapped style? Your explanation is highly appreciated, Thanks, Scott
