Mappipng unaware @Endpoint implementation (JAXB2)

[shevit]

Hi,

As it's currently implemented, Endpoint implmentation that uses mapping IS compile-time dependent on the mapping type used.
In other words, the Endpoint implementation does not share tha beauty of POJO

    (at)PayloadRoot(localPart = "LoadImageRequest", namespace = "...")
    public JAXBElement<Image> load(JAXBElement<String> requestElement) throws IOException {
        String name = requestElement.getValue();
        Image response = new Image();
        response.setName(name);
        response.setImage(imageRepository.readImage(name));
        return objectFactory.createLoadImageResponse(response);
    }

The following code would be much more elegant and less verbose.

    (at)PayloadRoot(localPart = "LoadImageRequest", namespace = "...")
    public Image load(String name) throws IOException {
        Image response = new Image();
        response.setName(name);
        response.setImage(imageRepository.readImage(name));
        return response;
    }

It does not look too difficult to create some kind of wrapper arround JAXB2 mapper or (un)marchaler to support the "mapping-less" endpoint implementations.

Does it make sence for you? what do you think?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for disturbing.. actually the second implementation is already possible, depending on the way we create the XSD

Thanks
