Axis support for JAX-RPC mapping files?

[Geert van der Sman <Ge...@anachron.com>]

Hello,

Does Axis have support for java-wsdl-mapping? I suppose my question implies
that you can deploy the webservice with an webservices.xml file that points
to both the wsdl & the mapping file(s).

The underlying problem is that I have a XSD (schema) & an EJB that needs to
be exposed as a webservice. The field names for the javabean that I need to
pass to the WS do not match the element names in the schema.

Simplified it looks like this:

>>>>>>>>>>>EJB method>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
EJB method: createInvoice(Invoice invoice){}

>>>>>>>>>>>Bean>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
class Invoice{
  String invoiceDate;
  String invoiceId;
  etc...
}

>>>>>>>>>>>Schema>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<xs:schema>
   <xs:element name="FACTUUR">
 	<xs:complexType>
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element name="factuur_datum" type="xs:string"/>
			<xs:element name="factuur_nummer" type="xs:string"/>
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Here "FACUUR" maps to "Invoice" etc.

>>>>>>>>>>>WSDD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<beanMapping qname="inv:FACTUUR"
	             type="java:com.company.invoice.Invoice"
	
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
    />

>>>>>>>>>>WSDL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<wsdl:message name="createInvoiceRequest">
	<wsdl:part name="Invoice" element="xx:FACTUUR"/>
</wsdl:message>

>>>>>>>>>>end example>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I guess the mapping between the bean fields & schema's element names is not
handled in this scenario and needs a custom solutions.

I see 2 solutions:
1) use java-wsdl-mapping
2) Write a java delegate class to map the names

maybe 3) a custom serializer/deserializer referenced from the wsdd

Any advice?
