Benson Margulies commented on CXF-1891:
---------------------------------------
Some thoughts:
1) The current CXF Aegis is much refactored from XFire.
2) Integrating XMLBeans with Aegis seems to threaten a sort of cross product of
data bindings with other data bindings. Why stop at Aegis delegating to
XMLBeans? What about all the other combinations? I don't want to be a
dog-in-the-design manger here, but having the Aegis binding grow a series of
special cases makes me queasy.
3) It is unfortunate that the CXF community is leaving some XFire users out in
the breeze. However, the community is what it is -- a group of volunteers who
apply effort where their personal and/or professional interests take them. For
whatever reason, we've had a history as follows:
a) Initial pulse of merger activity, including much work from XFire experts.
b) A long period of time in which we didn't hear much from XFire users, and the
XFire developers moved on.
c) A recent set of XFire users attempting migration and running into one thing
or another.
Anyhow, I invite you to start a thread on the dev list about all this. No one
died and made me king.
> Support multiple data bindings in one service (type-by-type)

> Key: CXF-1891
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1891
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.1.2
> Reporter: Renaud Denis
>
> CXF does not seem to support services interfaces declaring a mix of types
> like XFire did. For instance, a service using Aegis databinding should
> support XmlBeans objects as well as aegis-annotated (or XML mapped) POJOs.
> {code:title=Currently Supported}
> public interface MyService {
> void store(Memento memento, String name, String ownerId, boolean
> shared);
> org.w3c.dom.Document listAll();
> }
> {code}
> {code:title=Currently not supported}
> public interface MyService {
> void store(Memento memento, String name, String ownerId, boolean
> shared);
> org.w3c.dom.Document listAll();
> PreferencesDocument retrieve(String leaf, boolean retrieveHierarchy);
> // PreferencesDocument is a org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject
> }
> {code}
> XmlBeans/(JAXB?) Integration layers in CXF should provide Aegis Type Creators
> out-of-the-box, at least in order to ensure seamless migration from XFire to
> CXF.
