Andreas Veithen updated AXIS2-4265:
-----------------------------------

    Assignee:     (was: Andreas Veithen)

Looks like there is no unit or integration test that actually covers the 
ModulePolicyExtension API in any way. Therefore the issue is not fixable at 
this point.

> ModulePolicyExtension is an interface that can be optionally implemented by a 
> module (i.e. the class implementing Module) to add methods during the code 
> generation. This is a design flaw because it mixes buildtime and runtime. 
> Indeed it means that:
> * In order to load the module at runtime, the codegen JARs must be available 
> (cf. AXIS2-3213) though they are never used.
> * For some modules, when using wsdl2java, the user will probably have to add 
> JARs that the module only uses at runtime.
> The ModulePolicyExtension interface should be replaced by a better mechanism 
> that cleanly separates buildtime and runtime concerns.
