It's really not difficult. In fact, it reduces complexity quite a lot.
Thanks. That does look surprisingly simple.
There are couple I'm still unsure about in the context of XML-RPC:
1. In order to make JaxMe generate classes for representing XML-RPC
like this:
<struct>
<member>
<name>Who</name>
<value><string>me</string></value>
</member>
<member>
<name>When</name>
<value><dateTime.iso8601>20050803T00:03:32</dateTime.iso8601>
</member>
</struct>
it looks like I'd make a schema for validating documents like this:
<Something>
<Who>me</Who>
<When>2005-08-03T00:03:32</When>
</Something>
Is that correct? The XML here is quite different; the XMLRPC and XML
Schema datetime formats aren't even the same. It seems like much of
the value in writing an XML Schema is gone if we can't use it to
validate raw documents easily.
2. How would dynamic structures work? Our existing XML-RPC-based
protocol has a method called GetSettings; it's passed a Vector of
setting names and returns a Hashtable of setting names to values. We
can't generate code based on this <struct>, since the members aren't
known at compile time.
