As most of you know, Dali has been spending the majority of the last
several milestones working on JAXB tooling. We have also been
working on support for EclipseLink's Database Web Service
functionality. Given the related nature of these features with
existing WTP Web Services, representatives from the Dali and Web
Services teams met to discuss the possible integrations between the
two feature sets. The following is a summary of the output from the
meeting. Please feel free to provide any additional feedback you
may have. Thanks.
Agenda:
Summary
- Dali plans to add JAXB facet and library configuration, along
with JAXB model validation and code completion. No specific
integration into Web Services tooling was identified
- JAXB tooling in the Web Services area was reviewed, and
included only the Annotation Properties view. Bug 325364 was
mentioned as an upcoming enhancement for Indigo related to the
Annotation Properties view. There are a couple of other JAX-WS
related enhancements scheduled for Indigo, as seen by the plan
document[1].
- The new Database Web Service functionality (which currently
consists of a wizard) was discussed, and feedback indicated that
it would be best to keep this functionality isolated for now in
its own New... category, as opposed to being included in
existing "Web Services" categories in the WTP UI. That would be
until there was some demand or obviousness for it to be included
in the Web Services category. It was also suggested that
"Database Web Services" might be the best choice of name for the
category so that it would be a more broad container for other
possible wizards.
