Hi Gee, As a start, can you give a quick rundown here of the exact specs you're trying to support (I see mention of MEX and WS-RT?) and the main interfaces you've introduced and why?

Hi, All: I moved the discussion in JIRA 2120 to dev list as requested by Dims. Thanks in advance for your input and comment for a better MEX support on Axis2. Davanum Srinivas [07/Feb/07 06:28 AM] Gee, Could you please check if you can avoid touching the kernel module. We have some code here if you want to take a peek at. http://wso2.org/projects/commons/mex thanks, dims Gee Chia [07/Feb/07 10:38 AM] Dims: I appreciate your reminder to consider different implementation alternative. During the design and implementation of the metadata exchange solution, I am trying to consider from different perspectives of how Axis2 users/developers might be using the metadata exchange code, and also how to fit the solution in the very robust Axis2 architecture - configurable and easily extensible for supporting different data retrieval implementation, and future data retrieval requirements. I am hoping to provide a more general data retrieval (exchange) code base to address WS-MEX specification requirements as well as longer-term needs. a. Supports extensible set of data i.e. not limited to only WSDL, Policy, and Schema. See http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/specs/ws-rt/ws-rt-spec.pdf for an example. b. Provides hooks for other mechanisms to store/generate the metadata i.e. allows Axis2 users to implement specialize data retrieval logic instead of using the default Axis2 implementation. The plug-in data locator is not MEX-specific. It is about how to associate some extra data with a target web service. MEX is just one way to access to the data locator to perform metadata exchange. The data retrieval extends in Axis2 kernel is to provide support for data associated with a service, and to provide a way for people to plug-in their own implementation for retrieving and/or generating data. Again, thanks for your attention. Gee Chia Davanum Srinivas [07/Feb/07 12:58 PM] Gee, As a general rule, we *prefer* to talk about "design and implementation" here on the axis-dev@ list :) Especially if it affects the kernel module. Let me review this a bit more and get back to you. thanks, dims Regards, Gee Chia Emerging Standards Development
