Yep. I'm definitely excited about the projects from the GSoC stuff as well. One note: part of the GSoC review process (like the midterm and final reviews) involves how well you interacted with the project community. Thus, it's definitely best if you subscribed at least to dev@cxf.apache.org (send a not to dev-subscr...@cxf.apache.org) and direct any future communication to there. I'll still get it and respond there, but that also allows others in the community that might have other ideas and suggestions to also provide their thoughts. > Recently I am reading the CXF user's guide, referring to source code and > javadoc of xmlbeans databinding.

Looking at the XMLBeans databinding was going to be my first suggestions. The XMLBeans databinding is much simpler than the JAXB databinding so it's much easier to get started with it. > Anyway, my plan is to get the requirment in more details, so that I can > devide the project into class design and function methods design, and make > the project more concrete. > > Do you also have some suggestions for me, as for my embarkment on the > project? There are basically two major parts to the project: 1) The "runtime" parts. 2) The "tooling" parts for the wsdl2java scenarios. For xmlbeans, the stuff for (1) is in org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.* and the stuff for the tooling is in the "tools" subpackage. You really just need to look at one or the other depending on what you want to do first. One note about the "tooling" part: there is also a GSoC project for Apache Tuscany for providing a wsdl2java tool for Tuscany that will output JAX-WS code, but with the various databinding things that Tuscany uses. SDO is obviously one of them. (their proposal deals ONLY with wsdl2java, but covers other things than just SDO such as Axiom and others) It would actually be a good idea to work together with Pradeep Fernando (whom I've also CC'd on this) to do the tooling part. He's currently looking at using the CXF tooling for the JAX-WS part and providing pluggable databindings for the various things he needs. Thus, you both need SDO so working together could save some time and effort.
