Last night, I committed a bunch of changes that added an event listener to the FactoryBeans and added a bunch of "events" out of the beans to the listener. There are a couple of purposes for this:
1) I'm hoping to simplify some of the stuff in RSFB. I'm planning on allowing the databinding to be a listener so much of the JAXB stuff in there can be pulled completely out into the jaxb databinding. Likewise, some of the stuff that JAX-WS does could be simplified. 2) Custom annotations on the SEI - this is the major one. Previously, adding a new annotation (like the @Features stuff), required updating the RSFB which is a non-trivial thing to do. I wanted something MUCH simpler. Toward #2, I've added two new annotations: @SchemaValidation - this has the same affect of setting the schema-validation- enabled flag on the endpoint via config, just simpler. @WSDLDocumentation - this is a START of being able to add some documentation nodes to the generated wsdl. It's not really working well yet, but it at least is a starting point. Most likely, I'll need to break this into a couple annotations since there are a LOT of places in a wsdl that documentation can be added. If people have thoughts on how this should look, please let me know. (this requires a lot of updates to ServiceWSDLBuilder as well to copy docs from the service model into the generated wsdl.) I plan on adding a couple more: @Logging - various settings for controlling logging. @Policy/SecurityThings - couple security related annotations to wire security policy things in. I'll probably also rewire the custom annotations we already have (@Features) into the new stuff as well mostly to simplify the code a bit. What other things would people be interested in accomplishing via annotations? I've wired events into the various WS related factories, but haven't touched the JAX-RS factories yet. That could also be looked at. -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org http://www.dankulp.com/blog
