Hi Sagara, Good to hear from you and good to hear that you're making progress. Serialization is a feature that has been requested for some time and I welcome this type of contribution to Woden.
A few process details I'd like to share. 1. As Woden is an Open Source project there is a certain level of transparency that we need to maintain. We will all benefit from frequent updates as you progress by posting to the woden-dev list. I'd also encourage you to participate in our weekly status calls [1]. At the very least this will prevent someone else (such as Dan) from duplicating your work. 2. In order for Woden to accept code contributions the code needs to be attached to a Jira [2] entry. You can sign up for a free account. We also typically like to receive patches instead of source files. Patches allow reviewers to quickly see the changes you've made. Can you please sync your code with Woden's HEAD stream and create a patch. (If you're unfamiliar with creating patches take a look at [3] or feel free to drop me a line and I'll walk you through it. It's pretty straightforward using a client such as Eclipse.) 3. Apache requests that all contributors sign an Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) [4]. The ICLA is for the protection of Apache and your code. Please let me know if you have any issue with this agreement. If not, please sign and return a completed ICLA form to the Apache Software Foundation. You might also be interested in the resources found at [5], especially [6]. Again, welcome to the Woden developer community. I look forward to reviewing your serialization contribution.

However, it looks like you've made some good progress so I'll ask him to focus on other requirements while I look at your code. thanks, John Kaputin "Sagara Gunathunga" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/08/2007 04:18:18: > Hi John, > > Hope you remember me .after my exams, In from this month I have been > started my works on Woden serialization and I'm sorry, because I > couldn't update you about the progress of my works on time. > > > As you mentioned I have studied how common behaviors of DOM and > OM/StAX readers are refactored in to BaseWSDLReader through the > XMLElement.
