[jbossws-dev] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - JBWS-1260 and WSDL to Java Array Mappings

[darran.lofthouse@jboss.com]

I am currently working on JBWS-1260, I have a set of 27 different WSDLs that I have put through wscompile and I am then putting through wstools to compare the generated artifacts.

Whenever wscompile encounters an element with a maxOccurs greater than '0' e.g.

  |    <complexType name='TelephoneNumber'>
  |     <sequence>
  |       <element name='number' nillable='true' type='string' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
  |     </sequence>
  |    </complexType>
  | 

The generated jaxrpc mapping has it mapped as: -


  |   <java-xml-type-mapping>
  |     <java-type>java.lang.String[]</java-type>
  |     <anonymous-type-qname>http://test.jboss.org/ws/jbws1260/types:TelephoneNumber>number[1,unbounded]</anonymous-type-qname>
  |     <qname-scope>complexType</qname-scope>
  |   </java-xml-type-mapping>
  | 

This apears to be because of the following from the Web Services for J2EE 1.1 specification: -anonymous wrote : 
  | 
  | 3. If element E has a maxOccurs attribute greater than 1, then it also has a 'hidden' anonymous type called A. A is an array of the enclosed type. The qname-scope of A is complexType and the name of A is...
  | a. If E has a name attribute, then the name of A is "E[,]" where E is the value of E?s name attribute. The name is entered as an anonymous-type-qname.
  | b. If E has no name attribute, then the name of A is "R[,]" where R is the name of the referent element. The name is entered as an anonymous-type-qname.

And the examples in the specification apear to confirm this.

Is there any reason why we do no generate these mappings at all? Or should this be added?
