when WSDL is not static ..
Hi All I got use case where i don\t have a static wsdl but want a DII client invocation.I\m planing to use Axis2 .Earlier i used for static wsdl using proxy generators .But this time I can\t use proxies.In further I get a WSDL file that defines message based SOAP calls. The payload message is defined in XML Schema. It can contain any number of complex types.The Schema should be displayed in the Creater(Creater where we make the xml definition for particular web flow ) and the user should be able to link variables/items in Spikeflow(www.nspike.com/) to elements/attributes in the schema. Then in running our runtime should be able to create correct SOAP requests to send and be able to parse SOAP responses. Normally we would do this by generating java objects with JAXB that maps to the Schema. But we can't do the JAXB and compilation step, since the WSDL and Schema changes. Really appreciate if any one can shoot any ideas on this Thanks a lot Kanchana
Re: when WSDL is not static ..
A WSDL is a contract, and changing this often is not the correct thing to do. Changing the service contract often goes against the fundamentals of the SOA paradigm. Someone may be able to suggest a better solution if you could explain the problem you are trying to solve (not the way you intend to solve it) HTH Azeez On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 5:48 PM, Kanchana Welagedara [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All I got use case where i don\t have a static wsdl but want a DII client invocation.I\m planing to use Axis2 .Earlier i used for static wsdl using proxy generators .But this time I can\t use proxies.In further I get a WSDL file that defines message based SOAP calls.

Re: when WSDL is not static ..
Azeez I think what is trying to be acheived here is what we do in WSAS with our dynamically generated Javascript test clients. Obviously its possible to do this - you need code that navigates the schema and helps you create XML from that. There is code like this in Eclipse and SOAPUI. The real problem Kanchana is going to have is how to set the parameters into this code. In WSAS we do this with a human :) In other words we dynamically generate a web page, and its up to the human to look at the web page and decide what data goes in which field.

Re: when WSDL is not static ..
Paul I thought Kanchana was talking about a WSDL/Schema, which keeps on changing. So in fact, Kanchana is talking about generating clients for different WSDLs (not a changing WSDL)?
