RE: use of multiref for object serialization

2002-06-26 Thread SoumenS
multiref encoding has some distinguishing aspects: 1. Space savings by way of ref contrasted to duplication 2. Circular references can be represented. In place encoding will result in infinite loop (stack overflow) as happens with Apache BeanSerializer. Axis handles this. 3. Better inform

RE: Confusing issue on Maps

2002-07-01 Thread SoumenS
The idea that "Apache SOAP forces you to be explicit about type" is a barrier in good system design. This breaks abstraction. I should be able to use a serializer for HashMap class where a serializer for Map is expected. Some runtime interaction causes search for Map serializer. If there is one --

Scott, Neither am I a CORBA expert. However, as a OO Software developer with CORBA experience, I can answer your first question with the following statements: SOAP is a XML based messaging protocol -- it does not care what kind of higher software layer is using it. However, a higher lay

RE: changing the wsdl

2002-07-16 Thread SoumenS
As per standard, WSDL is supposed to contain the host:port combination. If you do not want to advertise transport end-points then use a high level abstraction like CORBA Object reference. You can have a level of indirection through DNS, but ultimately one can find the host:port. Here are the sta

I beleive this is not a a Apache SOAP bug. White space and lines between tags should not matter in XML parsing. Please refer to XML specification as shown below: = http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm 2.10 White Space Handling In editin

Then it should be fixed, IMHO. This is causing interop problem. XML spec talks about significant and insignificant white space. I am not clear on this. What does SOAP spec mandate -- looked like SUN's SOAP server implementation goes by a strict XML schema. Soumen Sarkar. -Original Message--

SOAP is XML based application protocol mapped to some transport protocol. Since you are transferring large file, transport protocol issues are involved. I beleive, you need to search for a SOAP implementation on some suitable transport protocol. The document should be transferred as an attachment.

Scott, In the example you have given, the web service handles http://xml.apache.org/soap gracefully by ridirecting to http://xml.apache.org/soap/. I beleive similar graceful handling should be implemented for finding type mapping. In other words the trailing / should not cause finding type mapping

I knew that it would go to namespace schema comparison where it has to match character by character. Seperators like '/' does not carry special significance in namespace names (i.e do not imply any structure). From a structural point of view presence of trailing '/' does not matter but as I said '/
