Hi,
I was wondering if the WSDL model API and implementation (found in
org.eclipse.wst.wsdl) will continue to be offered as public API for use
by third party extensions. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should
depend on it for WSDL manipulation. Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I would like to use the WSDL model in order
to examine and possibly manipulate WSDLs. The features I am interested
in in particular are:
1. Resolution of references, including cross document references (ie.
operation.getInput() returns message instance and not a QName).
2. Extensibility -- I would like to extend the model with a few WSDL
extensions.
3. Fine grained events when WSDLs change(might be able to live without
these).
The WebTools WSDL model seem to take care of all of the above except for
possibly #2; I need to dig deeper to figure out if/how this can be done.
Do you have a rough idea of when the WSDL model API will be finalized?
Do you anticipate that it will change much?
Thanks!

Yes, the XML schema references are very cool, and something that I am
very interested in using. Thanks for your response!
