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 http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/... WSMethod, http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/... WSEndpoint, http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/... WSService, http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/core/... WebParameter) and finally use reflection on the Type linked in WebParameter instances to dynamically build up request parameter map to perform the invocation with. 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 ( http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/integ... [1], http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/wise/core/tags/wise-core-2.0.0.Final/integ... [2]) 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. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/798541#798541] Start a new discussion in Wise Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
