Hi,
The problem i face
has to do with updates of fields of server-side objects.
I do not want my web
service to expose a set method for each field (granularity too fine). An
alternative would be to use a hashmap containing the fields to be updated.
However, this makes it impossible to do some compile-time checking. E.g. check
for updates of read-only fields.
Another approach
would be to introduce a specific type that clients can use to call update
methods. However in this case the client must copy values from the fields it
reads to the update object.
Does somebody knows
an alternative?
I realize that the
following problem not has to do with Axis in particular. If you know an
alternative newsgroup please let me know, i'll post it there. I
apologize for the inconvenience.
