RE: [Axis2]transport and rest support for the stubs

[Tom Jordahl <to...@macromedia.com>]

Sorry for the late response.

Glen's idea is pretty slick and is a good idea.  I think I slightly
prefer the Stub being a parent class I think.

I know you Axis 2 guys aren't worried about JAX-RPC, but we could at
least provide the few (username/password/property) _get/_set methods
that they require in the Stub class.

Hi Tom, all:

IMO, there should be exactly *one* "extra" API on the generated class,
and 
that thing should give you access to all the Axis2-specific
functionality. 
This could be done in several ways:

- 1 -

class StubAPI {
    public MessageContext getMessageContext();
    ...etc (Axis APIs)...
}

class Stub {
    private StubAPI _stub;
    public StubAPI _getStub() {
        return _stub
    };
}

class MyStub extends Stub

- 2 -

class Stub {
    public MessageContext getMessageContext();
    ...etc (Axis APIs)...
}

class MyStub { // DOES NOT EXTEND STUB
    public Stub _stub = new Stub();
    // OR
    private Stub _stub = new Stub();
    public Stub _getStub() { return _stub: }
}

-------------

This way you say stuff like:

myStub._stub.getMessageContext();

instead of:

myStub._getMessageContext();

This allows us to use as many APIs as we want without worrying about 
cluttering the namespace of the actual generated stub class.

Thoughts?

Guys,

Just a quick note on this, you have to make sure that *all* of the
support APIs on the stub class start with "_" (underscore).  Otherwise
if a service has a method named "setTransportInfo", bad things may
happen.

Yes, we did get this wrong in Axis 1.x.  :-{
