WSDL and Java Constants

["Amit Kumar(CT)" <ku...@quark.com>]

 

 

I have a package hierarchy where constants and service interfaces are
kept separate.

Now when I run java2wsdl on my any service interface these constants are
not reflected in the wsdl?

Can anybody tell me whether wsdl supports constants if yes then how I
can make it work.

Else what are the available alternatives,as I have to consume my wsdl in
.net client so constants are really important for me.

 


Thanks

The only similar thing in WSDL are enumerated types. If your constants
are "groups of valid parameter values" you should be able to
redesign/refactor your interface and use them.

AFAIK, WSDL enumerated types have no specific value associated, only
their names are important. If you need them to have any specific value
pattern you will have to manually modify generated code. For example,
with Axis Java, an enumerated type is converted into a java class
following the Type-Safe Enumeration pattern. The generated constants
will have an increasing internal value starting by 0. If you want these
values to be, for example, bit-masks, you will have to go to the
generated code and set the values for each constant.

Hope this helps
