  1. Axis2 Data-binding Thoughts…

  2. Major changes from Axis 1.x • Investigate the possibility of using data binding tools…XmlBeans, JAXB, Castor… • Focus on doc/lit (Hi Glen... ) • RPC lit/enc will be layered on top of doc/lit

  3. “Java” Objects Entities involved Generated code (specific to data-binding framework used) StAX or SAX StAX or SAX DOM AXIOM StAX XML

  4. Issues… • It is desirable to support many data binding tools • Different tools use very different marshalling/unmarshalling mechanisms • Shall we standardize on JAXB?... • The data-binding tool, generated code and service implementation are tightly coupled • So… to change the tool means to regenerate code…

  5. Interfaces Implementation classes Issues (cont.) XML Schema Is it possible to decouple these? Anyone of aware of type substitution is JAXB?

  6. Issues… • In the case of RPC lit or enc we shall transform the schema specified in WSDL before passing it on to the data binding framework • This will not allow the use of multi-refs on outgoing messages… • However, if it is really important (ahh…) we can tweak the StAX parser/OM to handle it on behalf of the data-binding framework on incoming messages… do we need this???

  7. At the moment… • We have a WSDL2Java toy that works for WSDL 1.x & Doc/lit ONLY… • Can generate SEI, Stubs & Skeletons using XMLBeans… • The tool uses Schema Object Model of XMLBeans… hence cannot plug-in other data-binding tools

  8. Plans for the future… • Do what we have done for XMLBeans for JAXB, Castor etc… • Identify a generic architecture where tools are pluggable… • Support for RPC encoded/literal based on the strategy of schema transformation…

  9. Thanks…
