[jira] Commented: (AXIS2-4265) ModulePolicyExtension mixes buildtime and runtime

["Dennis Sosnoski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4265?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927733#action_12927733 ] 

Dennis Sosnoski commented on AXIS2-4265:
----------------------------------------

Until this is fixed, the "<exclude name="axis2-adb-codegen*.jar"/>" line in the Axis2 webapp build.xml should be deleted. As it is now, after installing Rampart you need to edit the file by hand and remove that line before building an axis2.war .

> ModulePolicyExtension is an interface that can be optionally implemented by a module (i.e. the class implementing Module) to add methods during the code generation. This is a design flaw because it mixes buildtime and runtime. Indeed it means that:
> * In order to load the module at runtime, the codegen JARs must be available (cf. AXIS2-3213) though they are never used.
> * For some modules, when using wsdl2java, the user will probably have to add JARs that the module only uses at runtime.
> The ModulePolicyExtension interface should be replaced by a better mechanism that cleanly separates buildtime and runtime concerns.
