Someones are saying that Maven is hard to domesticate… That’s true but when you you become Maven aware it really facilitate the developer’s life. More posts will come later on Maven… For now just an answer to guys who are always asking me (and others):

“Hey! Which module include this dependency? I need to update the version but I can not find where it is defined?!”

(Dédicace à Nico Jr )

mvn dependency:tree

This plugin will give you the complete dependency tree of the current module. Thanks Maven!

Jacobo Matute from TheServerLabs wrote a very good tutorial on its blog about developping a SCA based application using JBI and especially using PEtALS SCA features. You can find the article here.

OW2 EasyWSDL WSDL manipulation library has just been released. This release fix many bugs and introduces some new tooling such as java2wsdl (create WSDL from Java interfaces) and xsd2xml (create XML from XSD definition).

EasyWSDL is easy since you can manipulate both WSDL 1.1 and WSDL 2.0 with the same object model.

// Read a WSDL 1.1 or 2.0
WSDLReader reader = WSDLFactory.newInstance().newWSDLReader();
Description desc = reader.readWSDL(new URI("http://file/path/document.wsdl"));
 
// Write a WSDL 1.1 or 2.0 (depend of desc version)
Document doc = WSDLFactory.newInstance().newWSDLWriter().getDocument(desc);
 
// Create a WSDL 1.1 or 2.0
Description desc11 = WSDLFactory.newInstance().newDescription(WSDLVersionConstants.WSDL11);
Description desc20 = WSDLFactory.newInstance().newDescription(WSDLVersionConstants.WSDL20);

Once the Description object is loaded from the WSDL document, you can maniulate all parts of the service description. Let’s look at endpoints :

// Endpoints take place in services.
// Select a service
Service service = desc.getServices().get(0);
 
// List endpoints
List endpoints = service.getEndpoints(); 
 
// Read specific endpoint
Endpoint specificEndpoint = service.getEndpoint("endpointName");
 
// Add endpoint to service
service.addEndpoint(specificEndpoint);
 
// Remove a specific enpoint
service.removeEndpoint("endpointName");
 
// Create endpoint
Endpoint createdEndpoint = service.createEndpoint();
service.addEndpoint(createdEndpoint);

Easy!

The PEtALS Architecture document I wrote last winter has just been published. You can get it from the OW2 PEtALS web site or read from my slideshare account.
