Hi Andrea,
Just had one minor piece of feedback on your commit to change the
Schema locations. Would you be OK with changing the schema locations
to something like:
http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/2.0/http.xsd
instead of
http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/wsdl/http-conf.xsd
While I like the symmetry between the classpath and the schema
location, I see a couple issues:
1. /wsdl/ shouldn't really be in the URI for a spring schema
2. -conf is kind of redundant
I agree with you on the naming - it's quite awful, and there are way too
many namespaces (but that's another issue).
For now, I would like to use URIs that can a) be derived very simply
from other information that we have (i.e. their actual location in the
trunk) and b) where the underlying schema can potentially be made
available on the web. See wiki page
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/schemas-and-namespaces.html I started
on that, and on which I want to complete the table.
If someone wants to change the URI for one schema, name and location of
the schema should be changed at the same time to avoid confusion - after
all the latter is the least work. The real pain is in updating
references in schemaLocation attributes, not just on cfg files but in
other schemas and catalog files as well.
3. I think it might be good to have the version # as we previously
discussed in the location. Lets say we change the namespace in our
schema for 2.1, then we effectively need to host two schemas at the
same location with the current location URI.
What about redirecton as I suggested in an earlier mail?
"For reasons outlined below I tend towards not using a version number in
the URI, but instead adopt the convention that
http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/x.y contains the schemas for version x.y
and that http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/ directs to the current version. "
Unless we maintain versions of schemas, bean definition parsers etc. in
one product version, and IMO this is a real pain, many cfg files become
unnecessarily invalid.
Cheers,
Andrea.
Thoughts?
