[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - question design of wstools java-wsdl

[agun]

I have not got any answer to this question in the users forum, so
so I'll try here.

With JBoss 4.0.4, the JBoss developers have passed on the responsibility of
specifying the package to namespace mapping of java-wsdl to the user. As
a result, people who are writing tools that takes in user-defined interfaces
and use wstools to generate the wsdl need to figure out and supply the
package name to namespace mapping in the java-wsdl config. This works
fine as long as the SEI and its associated classes that it references are in
the same package, but in an enterprise setup, this is a rarity - the SEI
uses classes from various other packages.

At the moment, JBoss expects that all pkg->namespace need to be supplied, which puts a heavy burden on the tool-writer in this case. Is this
a first shot approach and the goal is to add the code to generate a default 
mapping if the user does not supply them (like what is done by all other vendors) at a later stage?

Or is this a permanent design that will always expect the user to 
supply the mapping? If yes, then I am curious why you chose this 
approach where all the other vendors provide a default mapping and
have the user-defined mapping as optional.
