Talking about the JAXP code .. this code was written by Ruth Bergmen
for Apache SOAP and then adapted for Axis by Dug. Dug, if you didn't
use (or view or get inspired by) Ruth's code then this note is off
the mark w.r.t. to that specific file, but the general gist is still
the same.
I have seen several Apache SOAP things get sucked into Axis. This is
excellent; as a new Apache implementation of SOAP it is vital to learn
from the good and bad features of the previous implementation. Otherwise
we'll invent yet another not-round-enough wheel.
However, I have been disappointed at the lack of credit given to the
original code (authors). I have ignored this previously (NSStack and
QName are two that I recognized close similarities with) but chose
not to do so when it was Ruth's code ..
I urge Axis authors to please pay attention to credit issues when
migrating old code to the new base. Changing the package name and
changing the indentation or spacing does not make you the author of
the code .. if the code is based on Apache SOAP code, please put
"based on XYZ's foo.java from bar" or something like that. Contributions
to open-source projects are often motivated by individual recognition.
Ignoring the individual who made the contribution (or upon whose
contribution your work is based) does not encourage continued
participation.
If you feel I'm off base I'm sure I'll hear about it (plenty).
Sanjiva.
