[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3628?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] R Searls commented on JBWS-3628: -------------------------------- CXF would need only a minor modification in order for us to register an custom WSDLFactoryImpl through the bus for CXF's WSDLManager to reference. Our WSDLFactoryImpl class would override the newWSDLReader method and return a custom WSDLReaderImpl class. It would be most desirable to subclass com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl and override select parsing methods, however is this not possible because the methods of interest are "protected". I see two solutions. One, copy the contents of com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl into our WSDLReaderImpl class and make the desired modifications to the protected methods. Two, in our WSDLFactoryImpl override method newDefinition() and return a custom impl of DefinitionImpl and in DefinitionImpl override methods like createService() and return a custom ServiceImpl class (and the like) that does our bidding. This would allow com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl to be used as is. Because of the nature of what we are currently customizing I am more in favor of option one. This provides us full access to the wsdl contents with the smallest number of classes that needs to be maintained. Option two seems like over kill and requires a larger number of custom classes to be maintained by us. What are your thoughts? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.6#6264)
