Hello, One little question concerning the Axis-generated Java stub client:
The MyServiceLocator class (which actually contains an attribute like: private final java.lang.String kercash_address = "http://172.20.140.221/axis/services/myservice";; declares it as "private final". Why is that a problem? Because one normally generates a set of client stubs and packages them somehow, puts them in production etc. What if the address of the wsdl changes - which, by the way, kind of happens all the time as you deploy it on different test machines with different locations of the WSDL only to get it in production. So, what does one do? He does not regenerate everytime the classes (on prod machines often there aren't even compilers). So he seeks to parameterize the location of the wsdl, like, say: locator = new MyServiceLocator("http://172.20.140.221/axis/services/myservice";) But, wait! There is no such constructor, as the address of the WSDL is hardwired. No problem, says the Java programmer, I will get it my way: class ParameterizableMyServiceLocator extends MyServiceLocator { ParameterizableMyServiceLocator (String wsdlLocation) { myservice_address = wsdlLocation; } } No go: myservice_address is "final private", not simply "protected"; this makes sense as long as the idea is hardwiring it. But the question is: would it be possible to only "protect" it so that runtime parameterization can be done? Thank you, Adrian Petru Dimulescu
