[kepler-dev] enum warning

[Kevin Ruland]

Matt,

I actually suspect we could use the axis client side with globus 
services.    There is this claim of SOAP interoperability which is much 
better in theory than practice :).  The biggest problem is the client 
side code is delivered as jars which have been compiled with the 
ogsa-supplied axis.  If we were to instead deliver wsdl/xsd and compile 
them from kepler, we might actually have a shot at using new axis2 with 
ogsa.  Simply dropping in axis2's jars with the current ecogrid client 
jars would be a disaster.

One thing to consider is the targeted platform.  If we are coding to 1.4 
then this is really a non-problem.  Of course Java5 does have many nice 
features including enhanced concurrency objects, typed containers and 
fixes to the infamous singleton initialization problems (jsr-133).  All 
told, if we can commit to using 5, we should.

In other news...I have reworked the Digir server into a straight web 
service already.  I built it with axis 1.2.1 (which has the enum problem 
and is not even the latest released axis).  I am currently going through 
some performance tests after removing the factory mechanism.

One thing I would be insterested in is if the axis2 wsdl2java system can 
handle the repeatable choice types...
