Re: [Axis2] Road Map for next release

[Eran Chinthaka]

One more comment. Can you all remember that we agreed to have a "Simple" data binding framework for Axis2, during the second Axis2 f2f ? We were very clear that we didn't want a full data binding tool. (Glen, Dims you all were there too.) So Tom, its unfair for you to expect *everything* from ADB. If you want full support use any of the existing data binding tools with Axis2. I think the existing stuff would be far better than Axis2 as they were built by domain experts. So do we need to re-invent the wheel here ?

Where would you draw the line Tom? Substitution groups? Attribute groups? Or would you not draw a line at all? If we do all of XML Schema then we are reinventing XMLBeans or something similar. That's clearly not the core competency of SOAP implementors; so would that be a core part of a SOAP implementation. I'm *really* hoping that Paul Downey's new WG [1] on schema patterns for data binding does something useful so that we can stop this debate and draw the line at that! Sanjiva.
