SaaSModulesRefactoring
SaaS services modules refactoring (to support Java EE, PHP, C/C++, Ruby, full IDE distro's) for NB6.5 M2
1.0 Introduction
SaaS services modules in netbeans provide a easy mechanism to consume most popular services in Java, Java EE (JSP, Servlet, JSR-311 annotated resources), PHP, (C/C++, Ruby, Javascript, will be available in the future and it is growing).
When user drag-and-drop a service node (say Yahoo News Search) from the web services node(in the services tab of netbeans) to say a PHP file opened in the IDE, we insert PHP code snippet along with support files to access 'Yahoo News Search' service. Same is true for Java/J2EE files.
2.0 Problem
After receiving numerous requests for SaaS support in PHP distro, we think it is time to create a new cluster called 'websvccommon'. The reasons for this new cluster are
- This new cluster with only minimum modules can be shared by non Java/J2EE clusters such as PHP, Ruby and C/C++.
- Will minimize the footprint for distro's such as PHP. (Currently, SaaS modules if included in the PHP distro will
pull modules from j2ee/java clusters, since SaaS modules are now in j2ee cluster)
3.0 Solution - Details of what needs to be done to create 'websvccommon' cluster
Following are the additions/changes we anticipate
3.1 Main change
- Create websvccommon cluster and move all existing SaaS modules from java to this new cluster. So
- java cluster and php cluster will have dependency on this new cluster
(Note: websvc.jaxb21 will be part of websvccommon cluster, so java cluster need not have dependency on websvc.jaxb21 module)
- j2ee cluster depends on java cluster, so j2ee will inherit websvccommon
3.2 Auxiliary changes
- Split websvc.jaxws21 module into websvc.jaxb21 and websvc.jaxws21 (existing module without jaxb libraries). This is
necessary moving forward to reduce footprint for non-java distro's. (websvc.jaxb is a required module for SaaS since it is used to process xml metadata).
- websvc.jaxb21 module will be moved into websvccommon cluster.
- Alterate proposal is to create a xml.jaxb21 module and add it to the ide cluster.
- Split existing websvc.saas.codegen into
- websvc.saas.codegen.java (for java cluster),
- websvc.saas.codegen.j2ee (for j2ee cluster),
- websvc.saas.codegen.php (for php cluster) and
- websvc.saas.codegen (will contain common code)
- Refactor websvc.saas.api, so we remove dependency on jaxwsmodel for WSDL to Java binding and push this dependency onto
websvc.saas.codegen.java. websvc.saas.api should instead use xml.wsdl model for representing wsdl services.
- Refactor websvc.saas.ui, so we remove dependency on jaxwsmodel for WSDL to Java binding.
