Hi. I am looking for
an implementation of JAXR that works with Axis. So I have tried
Scout.
But it is seeming to
me that the status of Scout is not much stable. First, I did not find any link
in http://ws.apache.org/scout/ to
download the source or the released code. Thus I found in Google the URL http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/scout,
and used it to download the source. I hope it is the last version; dates seem to
be recent.
I had no Maven or
was willing to install it, so I manually created a build.xml and build a
scout.jar against jUDDI 0.9rc4 . Then, by using this build with
a very simple example that just invokes
BusinessQueryManager.findOrganizations(), I just found what seem to be two bugs
(see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCOUT-7 and
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCOUT-8
). By the way, the example works just fine with the JAXR Reference
Implementation from Sun JWSDP 1.6 .
Also, the mailing
list of Scout linked from http://ws.apache.org/scout/mail-lists.html (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=221)
seems to be a common one for several Apache Web Service "Special Effects" ("FX")
projects (e.g. Sandesha and Kandula), in which a search for "scout" returns no
messages except for a collateral one.
All of this makes me
to wonder about the current stability of Scout. On the other hand, JBoss has
announced support for JAXR using Scout, which is said to pass J2EE 1.4 TCK . So
are my bugs wrong? Is my version wrong? Is the TCK weak?
The bottom line is:
what will you use now for accessing a UDDI repository? Scout, patching any bug
found in the process? Sun JWSDP JAXR RI? Will this one run on Apache (I will
try)? UDDI4j? I think the JAXR IBM provider (which runs on UDDI4j) is not open
or free...
Regards
