RE: Changes to deserialize Bean members without type decl attribu tes

[Colin Saxton <cc...@exel.co.uk>]

It may be a good idea to actually get the Service to read a WSDL file with
this information. It could then set-up all of the data types for parameters
and so forth from this one file. The Deployment file could then be
generated...This would be nicer since it means we only have to generate the
WSDL file and everything else works from that.

This is just an idea and I have no views as yet on how and when the WSDL
file is read in by the server but its an idea...

What do you think??

Subject: Changes to deserialize Bean members without type decl
attributes


As BeanSerializer currently works, by relying on ParameterSerializer
and forsaking the type information offered by Bean's, the unmarshall()
method can only accept XML where each member Element has a type
declaration attribute.

I have made some simple and clean changes to BeanSerializer so
that it can accept XML members without such type declarations,
instead using the PropertyDescriptor[] array that is readily obtained
for a proper Bean to drive deserialization when the property type info,
along with the provided XMLJavaMappingRegistry, permits.

I believe this change, or some equivalent, should be incorporated
into the project source tree.  But first I would like to solicit
opinions
as to whether there is any good reason to insist upon finding type
declaration attributes on every member in the incoming XML.  Also,
can anybody think of any gotcha's this approach might create?

Thanks in advance,
