At the moment there is no such proper documentation exists but I'm
planning to write a tutorial little later. BTW these improvements are
much easy to use.
For Lists Schema generation and payload is identical to Arrays only
run time processing is different. If you have a List as a method
parameter or as a field of a POJO Axis2 run time can construct a List
object from incoming payload , if the expected parameter or field is
an Array it will construct an array object and use it for invoke the
service method.
But in client side it is not possible to generate separate codes for
both Arrays and Lists using a tool like a WSDL2JAVA, it always
generate either Array or List because there is no way to distinguish
Arrays and List in Schema. As an example in JAXB by default generate
Lists while Axis2 generate Arrays. IMO converting List to a Array or
Array to a list is not a big deal.
Axis2 Map processing is identical to JAXB Map processing , you can
find more information here [1]. Note that Map is specific to Java
hence schema generation use custom complex type to represent Maps that
results into generate custom Java beans in client side. You can't
expect send and receive Java a Maps as it is but need small effort.
The best way to explore this is deploy a sample class something
similar to below and use SoapUI or WSDL2JAVA in client side. HTH
public Map<Integer,String> simpleMapTest(Map<Integer,String> map){
SOP(map)
return map;
}
