That comment seems kinda funny considering that you are interested in adding Asynchronous messaging to the code base, which isn't the best way to make it not complex and convoluted.
:-) :-)
I agree that WSDL2Java *might* be able to be moved out of axis.jar, but Java2WSDL is needed at server runtime to generate WSDL, and the two utilities share some code.

IMHO, the Axis code is already far more complex and convoluted than it
needs to be. It's primarily just a matter of separating out the various
concerns.
I personally think that all of the WSDL/XSD/Code generation tools need to
be separated out into their own project, allowing axis.jar to focus
specifically on runtime functionality.

RE: [VOTE] Re: XML Schema support for Axis (Contrib from Infravio )
Actually, one of the reasons I don't like the idea of splitting it out of
the axis code base is that we already have too many jar files as it is.
saaj.jar, jaxrpc.jar, axis.jar, log4j.jar, xerces.jar, etc, etc.
Why the big push to make it separate? It's like saying that
SchemaUtils.java in our current source code should be split out....
Why can't Axis have its own versions of functionality like this?

Hi Jeremy and James
I do agree with both of you about the potential gains of having XML
Schema as a separate project. But like I have been telling before I am
not too sure this as being a mature enough module, atleast right now. I
think axis will be a good starting point for this. Like someone said
there needs to be some API tightening and stuff like those. And when the
right time comes I am sure this will end up being a separate project.
And James, as to your concerns about eclipse and this module. Well, I
think it really is a very enlightening. But I think to come up with a
common API it needs to be tried and tested for sometime. What the
Infravio module's API stands for is what we thought would make a lot of
sense in our context, but not neccesarily the best that we can come up
with( though I wish it is perfect :-) ) So I would suggest that we use
it for sometime in Axis and come up wiht the the cons and pros of the
API and then talk to the people in Eclipse.
Thanks
Vidyanand.

RE: [VOTE] Re: XML Schema support for Axis (Contrib from Infravio )
Posted by James M Snell <ja...@us.ibm.com>.
The async stuff shoulda been there from the beginning. Plus, the async
stuff doesn't add a lot of complexity the way it's currently put together.
I don't agree that runtime WSDL creation is a required part of the core
runtime functionality. If the WSDL/XSD tools are available, then the
runtime generation stuff is available, if not, then its not.
