[Axis2] release/review Re: [Axis2] Chat log on 27-01-2005

i am swamped with work but i am very concerned about client and server 
API especially how easy to use they are (WS-Addressing async?) and in 
particular how to enable flexible XML-Java databinding (i think Mark D. 
Hansen described need for it pretty well)

so i would like to look on M1 from this point of view: what is that 
developer needs to do to get service described in WSDL with doc/literal 
implemented and to access such service? do we have wsdl2java with 
pluggable XML-Java generator? cant wsdl2java be made to generate 
flexible databinding code? i think that supporting soap-enc becomes more 
of headache than a real need ...

also i can contribute code i wrote recently for ant task to do 
wsdl2java-like operation but that uses XmlBeans v1 and i can tweak that 
code to generate necessary stubs or skeletons needed to make AXIS2 
runtime happy to use XmlBeans generated classes from WSDL/XML Schemas 
for client (Call) and server (Service?)

i would like to look on it when M1 code development is more or less 
finished and has some documentation so i can get some working examples ...

M1 is not going to have any data binding. AXIOM must, of course, 
support data binding but we agreed not to have data binding 
included in this release.

Again, no WSDL2<anything> in M1.

Cool; +1.
