Fw: [wtp-dev] Testing Web services tools in WTP M3 candidate I-build 200

[Kathy Chan <kathy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adam,

We don't plan to support Axis 1.2 in
WTP M3.  We had been testing with Axis 1.1 for M3.

As the Axis 1.2 release becomes available
(the latest available driver is Axis 1.2RC2), we plan to move our support
to it.  Since different user would likely have requirements for different
levels of Axis, we plan to architect a design that would support generating
Web service that can target different Axis releases (similar to how server
tooling is supporting multiple Tomcat servers).

For the time being in M3, you could
try modifying the instruction for copying third party JARs in the URL:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/components/ws/download_instructions_for_jars.html

to change Axis1.1 to Axis1.2RC2 (which
means copying the Axis 1.2RC2 JARs to the org.eclipse.wst.ws.apache.axis_1.0.0/lib
directory). 

I tried driving the Axis 1.2RC2 emitter
with a slightly different Web services tools code base a few weeks ago
and had some initial success.  We had not pursue that further and
had concentrated on testing the Axis 1.1 support.

If you run into problems, we could look
into it and see if it can be easily solved by a patch.  Of course,
you are more than welcome to submit a patch to enable this support.

Regards,

Kathy Chan

Is Axis 1.2 planned to be supported by M3 build? Axis1.1/Apache Soap in
version from first Eclipse 3.1M5a build are not really useful for those
working with J2SE5.0 (all autogenerated client proxies have imports of
packages named org.apache.<something>.*enum*)

Running Eclipse on J2SE5.0 when I tried to generate a bean based web
service I have got a nice bunch of exceptions (from
ClassNotFoundException claiming that my javabean was not found, to NPE
in axis core) but those are probably caused because Axis 1.1 is somewhat
not working right in J2SE5.0 environment.


Regards,
   a.
