[axis2] Programming with skeletons

[Grzegorz Chwajol <gc...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have made my first test service and a client with Axis2, starting
with WSDL and generating code with WSDL2Java tool. And it seems to
work :)
But the question is related to generating the skeleton.
For me (and according to Axis1 userguide) skeleton is a class "that
sits between the Axis engine and the actual service implementation".
However, after generating a skeleton I found a skeleton class with
metod signatures, where I found something like:
//Todo fill this with the necessary business logic
After filling with a code, it worked.

But now, when I add another operation to my wsdl and regenerate
skeleton, will I need to reimplement again logic part of all methods
(including these that were already implemented)? I would expect that
implementation is located somewhere else and it would be enough to add
only additional code relating to new operations...
I will apprieciate any suggestion.

Cheers,

Hi Grzegorz,
You've an interesting idea. The WSDL2Java  tool has no notion of "modifying"
a previous skeleton. It merely regenerates the the whole set of classes. I
guess Iksrazal's strategy is the best when it comes to maintaining any
previous implementations

Thanks for your reply.
I was wondering if I maybe miss a mechanism that helps to manage newly
generated skeletons with already existing implementations.
Will it be also like this in a final release of Axis2?

Hi Grzegorz, 

IMHO there's not an eleqoent solution yet. My rule of
thumb: 

1) Jar the generated code every time you run WSDL2Java
_except_ the skeleton and callback - don't worry about
the callback if not doing asynchronous operations.
>From my experience, those are the two classes that I
need to modify. 

2) Copy the skeleton (and maybe the callback) into
your environment. Do the formatting and business
logic. Import the jar from step 1 into your env also. 


3) On updates, just copy and paste the new methods
from the new wsdl and generated source from the latest
skeleton to the saved copy. Re-import the jar from
step 1. 

This is all obvious I suppose, but that's at least how
I go about it. 

HTH,
