I know that some kind soul out there has successfully combined Castor XML
Binding with Axis Web Services, by writing Custom Axis CastorSerializer and
CastorDeserializer classes.
I was wondering if anyone has done or tried the same yet for Weblogic 8.1
Webservices ?
I think one approach would be to write a subclass of Weblogic's :-
weblogic.webservice.encoding.AbstractCodec which implements
weblogic.xml.schema.binding.Serializer which extends
javax.xml.rpc.encoding.Serializer
The serializing from Castor to XML looks possible (maybe?) taking the
received Object ( a castor class) and marshalling the XML stream, but the
deserializing looks more difficult given that weblogic recommend extending
their weblogic.webservice.encoding.AbstractCodec class where the method :-
deserialize(XMLName name, XMLInputStream reader, DeserializationContext
context)
receives an XMLInputStream which is part of the WebLogic XML Streaming API
and is supposed to be more efficient then SAX or DOM parsing.
I'm not sure if there is a way of getting a DOM from XMLInputStream -
probably not.
Alternatively could castor optionally use the WebLogic XML Streaming - I
guess not ?
The reason for trying to plug in Castor is that Weblogic's own XML binding
types lack validation and full schema support.
Any ideas appreciated.
