So using those XSDs or XMIs to generate parsers  is ok ?

XMIs are not XSDs Dain, they are XML representation for EMF models - u can say UML described using EMF. I think there is a way to convert an XMI to XSD, and I think this can be found on Eclipse site. But the XMI
schema itself which the WAS specific DDs follow, are not public and
they are located using the deployment tool of was inside the was
deployment itself - I will look for them. But this leads us to a
license issue, can we use those XMIs deployed with was and not
published publicly ???

We don't copy or distribute any xml (xsd or xmi) of other vendors so we
should be fine.

Oh, I see. XMI is an alternative to XSD. I thought is was a new way to encode XML data (like SOAP encoded). So converting them to XSD and then
running JAXB on the converted file makes the most sense.

Or if you can grab the xmi files there's probably a way to convert them

xsd.

If you can point me at them I can take a look.

Can you post some example WS descriptors? I may be able to create a
JAXB
parser using SXC that can read an XMI input file. I'll only know how
difficult a task it is after seeing some samples.

:D, here is the trick, they are not normal XML files, they are XMI files - which are still XML files - they are the XML representation of
an EMF model - EMF stand for Eclipse Meta Facility - it is the
customized implementation of the OMG's OMF - Object Meta Facility. EMF is the frame work developed by Eclipse to impl the OMF in its own Eclipse mindset way :), and u can think about it like a framework to tie three main points together, that is Java, XML and UML. I kept thinking about that even starting from the point David impled the
WebLogic import feature. I mean we have two approaches here:

1- To use the EMF to be able to read those XMI easily. But I still don't know how exactly to do it - needs some investigation, and I have some contacts to ask for that point. But we have to think about using EMF in our project, it is not that easy cause we will have to package it with OEJB, or the customer will have a headace doing it himself :S.

2- To use our intelligence and make a JAXB parsers - or anyother
kind of parsers - so we can read it as a kind of normal XML files to
get the info from it.


Think about it and I will make my contacts to have a more precise
decision.

Sure,

That would be great.

Hi Karan I would like to share this task with you as I have some
experience with WAS specific DDs.

Where would i start from to add support for Websphere
descriptors?

First thing would be to grab the xsds and generate a jaxb tree.
You
can
throw then in a new package at org.apache.openejb.jee.was in the

openejb-jee

module.

For the trees that I did, I just grabbed the latest 2.0.x version
of
the
jaxb ri and generated via the command line.
