Christian Schneider commented on CXF-4069: ------------------------------------------ After talking to Dan we found more similar classes like org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBToStringBuilder that also should be separate from the databinding. As these classes are referenced by the code generated by the cxf xjc plugins it makes sense to move the runtime lib with the classes to xjc utils. So I will remove the jaxb-adapter project again and instead create a xjc-runtime project in xjc utils that will then contain all classes the code generators currently need. > JAXB DataTypeAdapter should be in its own project > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CXF-4069 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4069 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tooling > Reporter: Christian Schneider > Assignee: Christian Schneider > Fix For: 2.5.3 > > > When using JAX-WS/JAXB it makes sense to use a custom binding config to > create e.g. Date instead of XMLGregorianCalendar. These binding configs need > type adapters. CXF provides such > an adapter in the tools common project. I think this is not the right place > as it forces people to depend on the tools common project when the only thing > they need is the adapter. This > is especially severe in OSGi where you might want to generate your stub code > in its own project. Ideally this project should have no dependency to cxf at > all. > Additionally there is the project that the optimized dependencies for cxf > 2.6.0 do not have the tools common on the classpath. So the user would have > to change thei project anyway. > So I propose to create a new project to host just the adapters. This allows > people to only depend on this little project with no other dependencies. > We additionally should move > rt/databinding/jaxb/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxb/JAXBToStringStyle.java > and > rt/databinding/jaxb/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxb/JAXBToStringBuilder.java > there too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
