upgrade Axis 1 to 2

[Georg Gerber]

Hello,

I have running an Axis1-Webservice, which is used by some clients. Now I
want migrate to Axis2. The clients shall run further without any
modifications.

Is this generaly possible?


I made some experiments and got the following problem:


The old Axis 1 - WSDL contains the following lines. (here the code without
types, namespaces, etc.)


<types>
<schema>

<complexType name="MyParam">
<sequence>
<element name="paramDetail_1" />
<element name="paramDetail_2" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

<complexType name="MyReturn">
<sequence>
<element name="returnDetail_1" />
<element name="returnDetail_2" />
<element name="request" type="MyParam" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

<element name="MyFunctionParam" type="MyParam" />
<element name="MyFunctionReturn" type="MyReturn" />

</schema>
</types>

<message name="MyFunctionParamMsg">
<part element="MyFunctionParam" name="MyFunctionParam" />
</message>

<message name="MyFunctionReturnMsg">
<part element="MyFunctionReturn" name="MyFunctionReturn" />
</message>



With Axis 1 the following code for the "main"-function is gerenated by
java2wsdl:

MyParam myFunction(MyParam param0) {...}


With Axis 2 the following code is generated:

MyFunctionReturn myFunction(MyFunctionParam param0) {...}

With Axis 1 the name of the complexType> is used, with Axis 2the name of the
<element>.


Now I modified the WSDL for Axis 2:



<types>
<schema>

<element name="MyParam">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="paramDetail_1" />
<element name="paramDetail_2" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>

<element name="MyReturn">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="returnDetail_1" />
<element name="returnDetail_2" />
<element name="request" type="MyParam" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>

<element name="MyFunctionParam" type="MyParam" />
<element name="MyFunctionReturn" type="MyReturn" />

</schema>
</types>

<message name="MyFunctionParamMsg">
<part element="MyParam" name="parameters" />
</message>

<message name="MyFunctionReturnMsg">
<part element="MyReturn" name="returnType" />
</message>



without the line

<element name="request" type="MyParam" />

wsdl2java creates the equal signature for the "main"-function like Axis1.
But when the wsdl contains this line above, there are exceptions.
The problem is, that at Axis 1 MyParam is a <complexType>
and at Axis 2 an <element>

Has somebody any idea, what I can do?
