Greetings to Apache CXF development community. My name is Yaroslav Porshnev and I applied for Google Summer of Code with proposal of adding WSDL 2.0 support.
I would like to work on this project as it corresponds to my Master studies in Service Engineering where an important role is devoted to Web Services. The project allows me to widen my knowledge and have excellent practice in this area. Unfortunately I’ve heard about GSOC only at the beginning of previous week, so I had only few days to find interesting project and create at least draft version of the proposal. I understand that its current version very raw an lacks some important information like timeline and plan of realization, but I decided to give at least some outcome instead of waiting for next summer. Do you have some kind of wiki or other place where I can put my proposal and revise it? I think with your advices I can make better variant by the end of this week. I am currently exploring CXF and things that should be done for the realization of the project and I have several questions. First of all, is this WSDL 2.0 support interesting to the development community? As I can see from Jira, this issue was created almost 5 years ago, and since then there were not much activities. Or maybe I as a newbie don’t see some fundamental difficulty in its realization? As I understand one of the main goals here will be modification of existing set of tools for WSDL->code and code->WSDL transformation. Will it also involve any modifications of existing architecture? I would highly appreciate any ideas and advices. Best regards, Yaroslav Porshnev.
