DISCLAIMER: this is very very preliminary version and at thsi stage it 
is just a prototype which may or may not have anything to do with next 
version of WSIF.

however feedback is very encouraged as of what could eb future 
directions/plans for WSIF (and that is the point of doing this and 
making code available).

i have implemented only very bare minimum of WSIF API just enough to 
invoke Google (see sample code below).

what is the interesting in code is that WSIFMessage can directly contain 
XMLInfoset and when response WSIFMessage is returned the parts inside 
are derived directly from XmlElement so one can access them with XPath 
like API:

       boolean succes = op.executeRequestResponseOperation(in, out, fault);
       if(succes) {
           System.out.println("received response "+out);
           XmlElement response = (XmlElement) out;
           // return/resultElements
           XmlElement resultElements = response
                .requiredElement(null, "return")
                .requiredElement(null, "resultElements");
           // print URLs of all resutls /URL/text()
           int count = 1;
           for (Iterator i = resultElements.elements(null, 
null).iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
               XmlElement item = (XmlElement) i.next();
               System.out.println((count++)+". "+item
                      .element(null, "URL")
                      .requiredTextContent());
           }
       }

If this feature is not available, I would like to know if it's in the

hi Matthieu,

i have a small prototype that i have put together of what next WSIF 
version could do and that was one of features (direct access to XML 
Infoset) that i had implemented. the modification i did is that 
WSIFMessage can be backed up by actual XML content.

 

Actually I believe this would be pretty interesting as I can't see how
a really dynamic invocation can occur when a full knowledge of the 
returned structure is necessary.
   

agreed. however there is an interesting solution possible if WSIF can do

lazy deserialization depending on availability of deserializer or 
generated java classes (such as by Apache XmlBeans).

thanks,

alek
