Hi Detelin, Glad to hear your interest on contributing to Axis2. > Hi everyone, > While looking into implementing AddressingAndIdentity > <http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/addressingidentity/WS-AddressingAndIdentity.pdf> > support in Axis2, I noticed Nandana has already done some work in this > area (AXIS2-4066 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4066>). > My intention was to provide an additional patch that would handle the > User Principal Name. +1. > However, I would really like to improve this so that any Axis2 module > could contribute to an wsdl extensibility element. hmm, let's first get that in Axis2, later we can thing about that, I guess ? > For that to work, wsdl extensibility elements must become first class > citizens in Axis2 service model. Not sure I really understand what you really mean, can't we get what we want by having that as an external module ? (merge to wooden, or as an Axis2 core module ?).
Let's get a patch, so that we can see more about what you think.
