replacing current web service framwork with axis2 - custom type Mapping issue

[אלחנן מעיין <El...@fnx.co.il>]

Hi..

 

We are in the midst  of replacing out current web service framework with glue. 

 

Our problem is this, glue, was very simple to use, all it needed was wsdl, and it generated input and output objects to use, it had a dynamic proxy created on runtime, where you could send such objects  and receive the populated generated ones.

 

I cannot see this happening in axis2, for example say that I have this wsdl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

The closest thing I could do is this code:

 

AgentWSRequest agentWSRequest=new AgentWSRequest();                     

            agentWSRequest.AgentNumber=8888;                

            ServiceClient client=new ServiceClient(null,new URL(wsdl),null,null);               

            final String ns = "http://Phoenix.co.il/UnderWrite";

            final String operation = "GetAgentDetails";

            final String partName = "part";

            final OMElement element = BeanUtil.getOMElement(new QName(ns,operation), new Object[]{agentWSRequest}, new QName(ns,partName), false, null);               

            System.out.println(element);        

            OMElement sendReceive = client.sendReceive(new QName(operation), element);          

            System.out.println(sendReceive);

 

The modifications I had to do 

Add a getter method for the request method (glue didn't generate these) 

Provide the name space (we didn't need that before)

Provide the part name (didn't need that as well)

 

Also I have no idea I would I map dynamically, the response OMElement to response bean, we need something generic, because the axis2 would be wrapped in our custom application framework.
