Improve Json support in Axis2 with google-gson
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-5270
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5270
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: json
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Shameera Rathnayaka
            Assignee: Shameera Rathnayaka
             Fix For: 1.7.0


There are two ways that xml string can be converted into JSON string, 
Badgerfish and Mapped . Current Axis2 with JSON module completely supports 
Badgerfish convention[1] while partialy supports Mapped convention[1] as Mapped 
formatted JSON with namespaces are not supported in Axis2. Therefore if the 
client side java-script code needs to talk with java service which is deployed 
in Axis2, it should be sent as Badgerfish convention. It is cumbersome to 
generate Badgerfish convention of JSON string again and again to call services 
if there is no  xml representation string in client side.

If java script client can send JSON object to relevant java service in Axis2, 
defining service and operation in request url, without doing any modifications 
to JSON objects, then it would be very helpful for Java-Script users at client 
side.

According to the thread in the mailing list, which discussed $subject we have 
two approaches. i have summarized those two approaches as below. 

1. Store json inputstream in message context at the message builder while 
putting dummy SOAPEnvelop to the message context, and using google-gson process 
it inside the message receiver 

2. Preserve the requirement that a message must have a well defined SOAP 
infoset and use a trivial representation similar (or identical) to what we use 
for plain text. This has the advantage that it is more in line with the rest of 
the Axis2 architecture, 
    or 
   another option is to write an xmlstream reader/writer implementation to 
parse the json stream. And provide that xml stream implementation to Axiom.
