Re: [WSIF] Dynamic Invocation Evaluation Question

hi,

why do you think, that Axis2 Java has no support for dynamic invocation? 
The thing is, if you use the RawXmlMessage Handler for sending and 
receiving messages, you can construct with Axiom any SOAP message and 
send it through the net to any destination. I also used it in my 
workflow project and created an own invocation API around it. if you are 
interested in it, i can manage to give you access to it.

WSIF was a fine project, but i think it is a bit outdated. I used it in 
my invocation api 2 years ago but the problem was, that i had to invoke 
web services really dynamically without having any java object to 
deserialize xml to. as i know, for every xml message, you need to 
register a java object to deserialize to. but what is, if you don't have 
any java class compiled for the receiving xml message... please tell me, 
if I am not correct and WSIF now supports a really dynamic approach for 
complex datatype handling. thanks.
