Hi Benson ,
As far as I can see , aegis data binding is complementary to JAXB
whether from java-> wsdl or
wsdl-> java direction .
I have not dug into aegis data binding code to find out if it can do the
following things ,but i think
having these feature in wsdl2java makes sense :
1. Generating simple code-first-liked java class that easy to understand.
2. Generating java.util.Data type without add a XmlTypAdaptor
customization to map xsd:dateto java.util.Date
and other thing we need to use jaxb customization to map a shcema
type to a common jdk class.
And also we can use aegis data binding in wsdl first direction as it's a
faster and StAX based data binding .
Since there are some data types that aegis does not support , maybe
we can add this support in wsdl2java
later.
Regards
Jim

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 :-)

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.

I'm wondering why anyone would want this. If the user is going

I note that Aegis has some not-very-documented capabilities, and
I
wonder if some of them are superior to JAXB in some way.
Do we ever post some sort of [POLL] to the user list asking 'who
would
use this feature' questions?
