Hi Steve!!!
We all read your paper and agree with it!! :-) But, Muse assumes we start with XML, and generates the Java code that you hook the business logic. So, we feel that this much less of a problem than the Java to XML mapping of JAX-RPC. Isn't this so? Is there anyhing we are missing?
yes, the bit where I explained how the generated code is still inordinately brittle and of limited value or quality. Have a look in smartfrog CVS at the CDL implementation (core/extras/cdl/). I'm using Xom and have my own classes to represent the various xml elements we get. But they are the elements the Xom code returns when it parses the document...the parser generates what looks like a normal Xom tree, but it has our custom classes in, classes that contain the CDL-specific logic. And they are also xpath addressible, so document.getPath("/cdl:configuration/tns:component/") works to resolve things and return something I can cast to my PropertyList and work with. -steve
