[AXIS2] Builders and formatters for REST
Hi all,
I have implemented messageformatters and messageBuilders for REST. The
following message formatters have been set in the default axis2.xml.
<messageFormatter contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
class="
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.XFormURLEncodedFormatter"/>
<messageFormatter contentType="multipart/form-data"
class="
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.MultipartFormDataFormatter"/>
<messageFormatter contentType="application/xml"
class="
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.ApplicationXMLFormatter"/>
I have added builders for the respective content Types as well. I have not
added the MultipartFormDataBuilder to the default axis2.xml because all
modules using the default axis2.xml will have to add the dependancy of
servlet-api. But I have added it to the default axis2.xml of the war.
<messageBuilder contentType="application/xml"
class="
org.apache.axis2.builder.ApplicationXMLBuilder"/>
<messageBuilder contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
class="
org.apache.axis2.builder.XFormURLEncodedBuilder"/>
<messageBuilder contentType="multipart/form-data">
<class="
org.apache.axis2.builder.MultipartFormDataBuilder"/>
Thanks,
Keith

+1 I really dislike having some config hard-coded in. It's really
counter-intuitive.

Yes... That was the very reason..

Yep... Good point.. But IMHO we need to follow the same deprecating
convention which we follow for the interfaces... At least for the 1.2
we might need to keep this... We can DOC this and also we can mention
that this will be gone in the next release (post 1.2)..
Users might want to override the default formatters.. But I found the
above use case of removing the soap formatters to be very rare :)..

The new code will require users to use a nightly or upgrade to the
upcoming 1.2. So I'm not sure its worth it .. because all of these things
surprise users: someone may remove the soap formatter and expect SOAP is
nt supported and voila it still is.
That's not good.

Sanjiva,
My guess is Thilina did this so old axis2.xml's will still work w/o
having to add these entries.

So all we need to do is to have those be listed in the default axis2.xml
with a comment saying these are needed unless you want to kill backward
compatibility, no?

Yes.. Defaults can be overridden by the axis2.xml.. No need to specify
them if you don't want to override that mapping...

My preference would be to specify all the builders & formatters via
the axis2.xml.. But we had to make the SOAP, MIME, MTOM builders added
automatically via the AxisConfig in order to retain the backward
compatibility..

I'm unclear why we wouldn't do these like xports .. you get what you list
in axis2.xml or add dynamically via the AxisConfig object.

Yes... The default builders & formatters will be available at the run
time even if not given in the axis2.xml

Hi Keith,
If the given default message formatters or message builders not given in the
axis2.xml, would it still be available at runtime.
