Newbie Questions
First off, let me assure you that I've searched around the forums and the
project documentation before posting this. If the answers I'm seeking are
already written up somewhere, please just point me to them.
I would like to be able to use Axis2 in the same basic way that I used Axis,
which is to start with a compiled Java interface (.class file), generate a
WSDL from it, generate client stubs from the WSDL, and then call the remote
methods in my client application using the same method signature as in the
original interface (of course I'm leaving out a lot of steps here, like
implementing the interface on the server, connecting the client to the
endpoint and deploying the WSDD).
For example, if my interface has a method that looks like this:
public int getusername(String name);
I'd like to be able to call a client stub like this:
int i = stub.getusername("someuser");
All the examples I've seen of Axis2 seem to wrap parameters and return
values in classes, so that my client code would have to look something like:
ParamWrapper p = new ParamWrapper();
p.setName("someuser");
ResultWrapper r = stub.getusername(p);
int i = r.getResult();
That is decidedly *not* what I'm looking for. Frankly, I find it hard to
believe there's anyone who wouldn't prefer to work the former way, rather
than the latter. My question then, is "Can I easily work the way I'm used
to using Axis2, and if so, how?"
If you'll continue to indulge me, I have one more question:
I've installed the Axis2 plugin for IDEA. When I use it I get to a screen
asking me to "Select lib files" and "Select WSDLs". What lib files is it
talking about, and what WSDLs? Won't this generate the WSDL *for* me?
Anyway, I can't get to the Finish line with the plugin.
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi Michael,
Libs actually mean third party libraries which will be needed by your web
service and WSDL's refer to the WSDL's for the service. Currently there is
no option for generating the WSDL. Currently the service archieve creator
is just a packaging tool. We hope to improve the plugin by adding all the
options available on the command line, this will be addressed after 1.1though.
I'll add a tool tip and include the details in the documentation. BTW which
version of the axis2-idea-plugin did u use? the 1.1 version of the plugin
will be available soon.
Thanks,
Keith.

Ah, well, hopefully ADB will catch up with JiBX on this at some point...

Dennis,
the unwrap does not unwrap the return parameter in ADB :(

JiBX data binding already supports the "-uw" unwrapped parameter, as
described in the documentation at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/branches/java/1_1/xdocs/1_1/jibx/jibx-unwrapped-example.html
I thought ADB did, too (though with extra classes, as compared to JiBX).
Are there more changes underway for ADB unwrapped support, dims?
Using JiBX you do have to write a data binding definition that relates
XML to your Java classes. The upside of this is that you can work with
your existing classes, rather than needing to use ones that have been
generated around a particular framework.

We are working on a "-uw" parameter in wsdl2java.
