<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hi Paolo,</p><p>first of all thanks a lot for the feedback / followup.</p><p>I've been reading the post from Duncan and thinking about this topic a bit. The sample mentioned there is interesting, I can ofcourse see few "issues" from a WS point of view that could be possibly addressed using Wise, as you noticed. Among them, I would probably mention the direct usage of JAXB, the need of compile time defined mappers for the request/response and the need for in advance generation of stubs (the request / response type classes). Moreover such an approach would probably work for DOC/Lit contracts only. Using Wise you could avoid manually generating / writing the req/res classes (the tool would internally do that) and you could navigate the Wise model (see <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/src/main/java/org/jboss/wise/core/client/WSMethod.java" rel="nofollow">WSMethod</a>, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/src/main/java/org/jboss/wise/core/client/WSEndpoint.java" rel="nofollow">WSEndpoint</a>, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/src/main/java/org/jboss/wise/core/client/WSService.java" rel="nofollow">WSService</a>, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/src/main/java/org/jboss/wise/core/client/WebParameter.java" rel="nofollow">WebParameter</a>) and finally use reflection on the Type linked in WebParameter instances to dynamically build up request parameter map to perform the invocation with.</p><p>That might not be super-easy for complex scenarios though (while it would definitely be quite easy for the simple example mentioned in the Duncan's example, it's just a string parameter there). So, you might want to use a Smooks based approach. The Wise core testsuite comes with an example (<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/integration-testsuite/common/src/test/java/org/jboss/wise/test/integration/smooks/" rel="nofollow">[1]</a>, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/integration-testsuite/common/src/test/resources/META-INF/smooks/" rel="nofollow">[2]</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">) of Smooks transformation applied on both request parameters and response results. In the example Smooks transformations are defined to map a user model to the WS generated types.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It might be interesting to try writing up an example using mapping files dynamically generated by inspecting the Wise model, perhaps using <String key, primitive value> maps as parameter input and result output; I'll probably try spending some time on this sooner or later, if it's doable that would further lower the complexity of ws invocation.<br/></span></p></div>
