Dan,
Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.
But this means that the user must have a JDK if he uses the
DynamicClient.
Is that somewhere in the docs?
I added it to the docs:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF20DOC/Dynamic+Clients
What about the eclipse compiler which is used by some jsp container?
A patch to enable that would be great. :-)
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/jasper/compiler/JDTCompiler.java
is the class that does the work in Tomcat.
Based on that I wrote http://gate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gate/gate/trunk/src/gate/util/compilers/Eclipse.java
which has a more useful API (just give it a Map with class names as
keys and their Java source code as values), and it would probably
not be too hard to adapt that for CXF. The only problem is that
GATE (and in particular my class above) is released under the LGPL,
so I don't know what's the legal position on merging code based on
it into an Apache project?
Short answer: not allowed. No LGPL stuff allowed.
Long answer: if you wrote it and wrote ALL of it and we able to keep
the copyright (does gate require copyright assignment?) you could
provide a new version under whatever license you want, perferrably
ASL. :-)
Someone else starting from the Tomcat codebase rather than mine
wouldn't have that problem.
I think both Ant and Maven also have callouts to eclipse compiler.
sxc (sxc.codehaus.org) also does. Probably more. There are
definitely options if someone wants to pursue it.
