> When generating code starting from a WSDL you end up with a Skeleton. The idea is to use this 'xxxSkeleton' to create your own 'xxxImpl', hence the name skeleton I guess...
> But, the problem with this is that this generated skeleton class is hardcoded in a cast in in the generated xxxMessageReceiverInOut. So copying the skeleton to your own Impl and letting services.xml point to this new Impl 'ServiceClass' simply won't work. It really has to be 'xxxSkeleton'. So why make it configurable in services.xml if it's hardcoded anyway? I also don't thing I should manually change 'xxxMessageReceiverInOut' for each new 'Impl' class I want to try out. Also, each time I run my codegen, the skeleton is overwritten... is simply doesn't work this skeleton thing... it's pointless...
> Also, it would be much better if you would have a nicely generated interface to implement, instead of that skeleton thingy. The generated skeleton should implement this interface. The 'xxxMessageReceiverInOut' should cast to the interface type instead of cast to the 'skeleton'. That way you can point to whatever 'xxxImpl' you want to, as long as you implement the correct interface. Another benefit of using this interface approach is that a change in the WSDL is directly reflected in a change of the interface you have to implement. Thus you detect required changes in the 'Impl' during compilation instead of runtime.
> The above issues are really critical for Axis2 to be fully usable in a production environment. If JAX-WS can do it, Axis2 should too.
