Again we are very much looking forward for the upcoming java annotations.
perhaps we can do something like what the .net guys are doing. Annotate the
method with the necessary parameters and Axis autogenerates the service !
or say, like what JAX-WS does ;-)
For a contrarian view on the use of annotations, see my just-published
devWorks article at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-cwt08025.html I use
JAX-RPC 2.0 (now JAX-WS) as an example where WSDD-style configuration
files work at least as well as annotations (better in general, since
they don't limit you to 1.5+ platforms).
I think annotations are an interesting facility, but I suspect the
current rush to use them for anything and everything is a mistake. IMHO,
Microsoft specializes in techniques which look easy up front and
typically cause all kinds of limitations and difficulties as you get
into more complex applications. Mimicking Microsoft is rarely a good way
to improve the state of software development.
