Re: Is the idea of wsdl2java (aegis) really useful?

Yeah, I think its definitely a waste of time to do an Aegis schema->java. We would gain absolutely no benefit from it as far as I can tell :-) - Dan Daniel Kulp wrote: I had this conversation with Dan D. before and the thoughts were pretty much exactly the same. If you are generating java code from schema, you should use the "standard" JAXB stuff since that supports more of the schema types than Aegis does. Aegis is primarily targeted for the Java first case. Having java -> wsdl tools for it makes sense. However, the wsdl -> java stuff makes less sense.

The virtue of Aegis is to avoid an infestation of snails (@) in existing code. Once you are firing up a generator, it's new code. I note that Aegis has some not-very-documented capabilities, and I wonder if some of them are superior to JAXB in some way.
