Hi Shane, if you decide to use the existing
Java bean type, could opening up/enhancing the selection dialog to allow
selection of interfaces be sufficient for your needs?  This function
can be disabled by default for other adopters.

…and revert back to using the Java bean
type.

I’ve been taking a fresh look at this lately as there’s an upcoming contribution
from SAP AG that integrates there JAX-WS web service runtime with the web
services wizard that uses the existing Java bean type.

That would lead to two JAX-WS runtimes using two different types and obviously
we can’t do that.

That and there have been issues (Bugs #243286, #243290) with switching
between the types that we’ve had to introduce workarounds for. Not ideal.

The POJO type was introduced to get around the object selection widget
that's used in the Bottom up Java bean scenario so that the service implementation
selection was limited to source types in the workspace and that the user
could also browse to select a Java interface as a starting point.

If we change back we will lose the ability to select an interface in the
selection dialog. You will however still be able to enter the interface
name in the combo box and opening the web services wizard from the context
menu of an interface will also pre-populate that field. An additional check
in one of the CXF commands could catch a binary type selection.

Or course it’s not a decision that should be made lightly as changing
it back would have an impact on existing adopters (mainly Progress/FUSE
Tools in the area of documentation) and existing users who are familiar
with the current wizard workflow.

Most of the video tutorials linked to on the wiki would also need updating
but they do need updating anyway.

Oisin what do you guys think about dropping the POJO type?

And with the primary goal of the JAX-WS component being to eventually graduate
from the Incubator and become part of WTP proper I’d be interested in
hearing any thoughts or opinions on this from anyone in WTP Web Services.
