Hi Glen, the www.xsume.com (www.xsume.org) is not a retailer :-). XSume was a
place (seems that the website is down?) that holds several java packaging and
CPI (Continuous Product Integration) tools, which were written by some IONA and
ex-IONA employees. XSume Toolspec is a java utility that parses and validates
command line input based on a XML-format file - tool specification. An example
of tool specification can be found from
trunk\tools\javato\core\src\main\java\org\apache\cxf\tools\java2wsdl\java2wsdl.xml.
I am sure you will appreciate how much XSume Toolspec can help you out from
tedious and frangible java codes like "if args[0].equals("-wsdl") then
wsdlLocation = args[1]; ". This toolspec stuff also supports regular
expression, this way you can easily add one line into your XML tool spec file
to make your -wsdl option for example, only accepts certain characters. XSume
Toolspec was open-sourced to CXF back to one or two years ago. Technically it
would be no problem to replace XSume namespace with some Apache namespaces as
this tool spec stuff is self-contained all codes are located in CXF and has no
dependency on xsume.com. But on the other hand, using xsume namespace would be
a good way to remember contributions have been made by this small but powerful
tool, otherwise how we can get people like you start asking? :-)
Cheers,
Jervis

Subject: Why www.xsume.com as a namespace?
When doing a search on "www.xsume.com" from the trunk directory of CXF,
it is showing up in approximately 25 places--mostly used in namespaces
for the xml files related to the build tools. But this URL just points
to some online retailer, I don't see its relation to CXF.
For example, in trunk/tools/java2/.../java2wsdl.xml:
<toolspec xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification
http://www.xsume.com/schema/xutil/tool-specification.xsd";
xmlns="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification";
xmlns:ts="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification";>
Googling isn't showing anyone else using this namespace. Should we be
switching this URL to an Apache one (I think so)?
Thanks,
Glen
