[jira] Created: (WSCOMMONS-145) Please please please write javadoc!

Please please please write javadoc!
-----------------------------------

                 Key: WSCOMMONS-145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-145
             Project: WS-Commons
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: AXIOM
         Environment: any version of AXIOM
            Reporter: stefan stieglitz
            Priority: Blocker


No seriously, the lack of documentation renders this project almost unusable. I'm really sick and tired of guessing the function of the various classes and methods from their names.

precise packages (possibly incomplete): 
 org.apache.axiom.attachments
 org.apache.axiom.attachments.utils
 org.apache.axiom.om
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.dom.jaxp 
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.exception
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.factory
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.util
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.serialize
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse
 org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util
 org.apache.axiom.om.util

[jira] Commented: (WSCOMMONS-145) Please please please write javadoc!

Dennis Sosnoski commented on WSCOMMONS-145:
-------------------------------------------

I agree completely - AXIOM is severely under-documented, which makes it very difficult to use. I've seen changes in behavior between AXIOM releases which have broken JiBX code for Axis2, but because the AXIOM documentation is so lacking I can't even say whether the changes in AXIOM behavior are a bug or a fix.

The fix is to document the way AXIOM is supposed to work, and add unit tests to make sure it actually does work that way (and will continue to do so in the future).

[jira] Resolved: (WSCOMMONS-145) Please please please write javadoc!

Posted by "Andreas Veithen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Andreas Veithen resolved WSCOMMONS-145.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Incomplete

I totally agree that Axiom is under-documented (I even voted for this issue...), but I don't think that things will improve by keeping this JIRA issue open indefinitely. The proof is that this issue has now been open for almost two years, but not much has been done. I think the better approach is to open JIRA issues that focus on particular parts of the Javadoc and that contain clear indication of what information the reporter wants to get (e.g. please specify expected behavior of method X in interface Y). Hopefully that way the situation will start to gradually improve. Actually, keeping this issue open might even be counterproductive because it discourages people from creating this kind of more focused issues.
