Agreed, I'm -1 on this as well. I think we should either a) support the RI
syntax (which seems rather limited) or b) Use the Spring 2.0 extensions for
creation of endpoints. The latter will be much more powerful and I don't
think any more confusing. XFire users seemed to handle having their root
element be <beans> alright at least :-)

Willem,
The commit you did is still unacceptable as it doesn't address the issue
of
embedding the publisher classname into the xml. It also doesn't address
the
issue of frontends that have completely different sets of metadata than
the
jaxws frontend. For example:
public interface EndpointPublisher {
void buildEndpoint(Bus bus, String implName, String serviceName,
URL wsdl, String portName) throws BusException;
void publish(String address) throws BusException;
}
What about javascript that doesn't really have a implName or where it
needs
other information beyond that?
Dan and I gave a couple of suggestions for a better/cleaner design.
Could
you please look at them and figure out which would work best and go with
that? Or come up with your own and propose it here. This current
design
is not workable.
I'm not going to -1 the commit yet as I'd like you to have the opportunity
to
examine alternatives and get it fixed.
Thanks!
Dan
