I'm working on code changes so that WSDL2Java will include WS-Policy
appearing in WSDL 2.0 input
in the generated stub class,
so I'm spending a lot of time in the PolicyInclude class.
Several of the methods in this class begin with a comment section
indicating that the method has
been deprecated. For example,
* @deprecated As of 1.4 release. If you need to calculate
merged policy of
* all policies that are in the policy cache of
* {...@link AxisDescription}, use
* {...@link PolicySubject
#getAttachedPolicyComponents() and \
{...@link org.PolicyUtil #getMergedPolicy(List, AxisDescription)}}
*/
public Policy getPolicy() {
My specific question is:
in Axis 2 1.4 (and forward) does every PolicyInclude instance include
a non-null description field?
If I know this, it will at least make reading the code much easier to
understand/evaluate.
The class, WSDL20ToAxisServiceBuilder, uses the deprecated methods of
PolicyInclude.
I do not plan to replace these with the suggested replacements (to
minimize the changes I make in code
that I don't understand all that well); but I do need a better
understanding of what is occurring.
Also, is there any documentation about the changes in 1.4 relating to
PolicyInclude, PolicySubject and related classes?
thanks for your help !
