Why www.xsume.com as a namespace?
When doing a search on "www.xsume.com" from the trunk directory of CXF,
it is showing up in approximately 25 places--mostly used in namespaces
for the xml files related to the build tools. But this URL just points
to some online retailer, I don't see its relation to CXF.
For example, in trunk/tools/java2/.../java2wsdl.xml:
<toolspec xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification
http://www.xsume.com/schema/xutil/tool-specification.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification"
xmlns:ts="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification">
Googling isn't showing anyone else using this namespace. Should we be
switching this URL to an Apache one (I think so)?
Thanks,
Glen

I believe www.xsume.com and www.xsume.org were owned by Malcolm Sparks, the XSume was started by him when he was working in IONA. Anyway, as now that the domain has been used by another unrelated firm, it makes sense to me to change the namespace to sth like http://cxf.apache.org/ToolSpecification.

I know they're not supposed to change, but they're also supposed to be
valid to begin with. Did IONA ever actually own that domain (why would
it?)--or was that informally chosen because it was the name of the
application, with the ideas of getting a "real" official schema name
later? If the latter, good--I think we're at the stage now where we can

Schema URI's are not supposed to change. If these URI's were published
widely under one name, it's really unfortunate if that domain lapsed and
got picked up by an unrelated enterprise.

RE: Why www.xsume.com as a namespace?
Posted by Glen Mazza <gl...@verizon.net>.
Jervis,
http://www.xsume.com is owned by another company today. (The website's
Terms of Service are dated March 2007, meaning the site is probably
quite new.) I'm attaching a screen shot of what the site looks like in
case you can't see it.
I don't think we should be using xsume's URI. After all, Apache
probably wouldn't be very happy if this company used Apache URI's for
its schemas.
I'd like us to use an Apache (or IONA, if you really wish to keep the
history) URI, *but*, if you wish, put a comment in the files or
someplace else crediting the XSume Toolspec name. I'll add this into
the IssueTracker for others to comment. (I can submit a patch, but I
would need someone to tell me what the new URI's should be.)
Regards,
Glen

Hi Glen, the www.xsume.com (www.xsume.org) is not a retailer :-). XSume was a place (seems that the website is down?) that holds several java packaging and CPI (Continuous Product Integration) tools, which were written by some IONA and ex-IONA employees. XSume Toolspec is a java utility that parses and validates command line input based on a XML-format file - tool specification. An example of tool specification can be found from trunk\tools\javato\core\src\main\java\org\apache\cxf\tools\java2wsdl\java2wsdl.xml. I am sure you will appreciate how much XSume Toolspec can help you out from tedious and frangible java codes like "if args[0].equals("-wsdl") then wsdlLocation = args[1]; ". This toolspec stuff also supports regular expression, this way you can easily add one line into your XML tool spec file to make your -wsdl option for example, only accepts certain characters. XSume Toolspec was open-sourced to CXF back to one or two years ago. Technically it would be no problem to replace XSume namespace with some Apache namespaces as this tool spec stuff is self-contained all codes are located in CXF and has no dependency on xsume.com. But on the other hand, using xsume namespace would be a good way to remember contributions have been made by this small but powerful tool, otherwise how we can get people like you start asking? :-)

Subject: Why www.xsume.com as a namespace?
When doing a search on "www.xsume.com" from the trunk directory of CXF,
it is showing up in approximately 25 places--mostly used in namespaces
for the xml files related to the build tools. But this URL just points
to some online retailer, I don't see its relation to CXF.
For example, in trunk/tools/java2/.../java2wsdl.xml:
<toolspec xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification
http://www.xsume.com/schema/xutil/tool-specification.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification"
xmlns:ts="http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification">
Googling isn't showing anyone else using this namespace. Should we be
switching this URL to an Apache one (I think so)?
Thanks,
Glen
