Hey, guys, some thoughts for a v.Next release from one who's principally a user, not a toolkit developer:
Great! (*) The samples definitely need some fleshing out, in that most of them come
from the same perspective (that of WSDL/Contract-first). Not everybody writing XML services is going to want to take the hit of learning WSDL, so something that demos an approach that's "code-first, contract-aware", IMHO, is going to go over well.
Yeah, that is definitely a problem at the moment. (*) How about demos-and/or-support for SOAP-over-SMTP/POP3? And/or
SOAP-over-UDP? And other transports come to mind, such as Jabber/XMPP.
Mainly thats a time issue at this point. And also no one has asked really. XFire has an XMPP transport which we haven't ported yet, but I would like to at some point. Are you seeing a real practical need for any of these? (*) Small nit: Make SOAP 1.2 the default for java2wsdl. Please. SOAP 1.1 is
dead (for which we should all give thanks), let's let it rest in peace.
Hmm in the Java and C# world, yeah, SOAP 1.2 is alive and well. I'm not so sure that all the scripty type languages support the soap 1.2 wsdl extensions though. (*) A WS-Eventing implementation would be VERY cool. (Had I the time, I
would step up here and volunteer to build it, but alas....)
Agreed... Trying, believe me... (*) I don't currently see any support for WS-Addressing anywhere thus far;
am I just not looking in the right places, or is this something that you're waiting on JAX-WSA to finish up before shipping, or....?
We have support for WS-A under the covers, I don't think its documented though. Can anyone comment on how to use it from a user perspective? Feel free to ignore any or all of these, of course. :-) Feedback is most welcomed. Regards, - Dan Ted Neward
