doAutoTypes - best way to set this property?

[Mark Chaimungkalanont <ma...@atlassian.com>]

Hi there,

I have a situation where I'm programatically creating a WebService.

I ran across the same problem as Enrico (in the thread below) in that I 
couldn't find an "elegant" way to register Bean (de)Serializers for my 
complex objects.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=108444847331320&w=2

After searching some more through the archives I found mentions of the 
"doAutoTypes" flag hidden in the TypeMappingImpl class. This seems to do 
exactly what I want, defaulting to the bean serializer when none can be 
found.

I couldn't get it work, however, outside copying the source and using 
"custom" version of TypeMappingImpl in my source tree that defaults the 
auto typing to true.

This is really not desirable so I was wondering if there was any other 
way to do this? I think this is the same problem as  
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=107788227613566&w=2 from 
about 9 months ago, but maybe something has happened since?

If there is not a way, I'd be happy to submit a patch that optionally 
reads the doAutoTypes from the AxisProperties when TypeMappingImpl is 
instantiated.

Any thoughts anyone? Anyone used auto typing successfully? Seems curious 
that such a feature would be so well hidden from view...

cheers

Hi there,

Does anyone on the dev list have any thoughts about making doAutoTypes 
"configurable" through the AxisProperties? This is a bit of a hack but 
it seems like this feature has been around for a while without any easy 
way to turn it on?

Just something like

    /**
     * Construct TypeMapping
     */
    public TypeMappingImpl(TypeMapping delegate)
    {
        qName2Pair = new HashMap();
        class2Pair = new HashMap();
        pair2SF = new HashMap();
        pair2DF = new HashMap();
        this.delegate = delegate;
        namespaces = new ArrayList();

        
if(Boolean.TRUE.toString().equals(AxisProperties.getProperty(DO_AUTO_TYPES_FLAG)))
        {
            doAutoTypes = true;
        }

    }

cheers
