Re: [ebxmlms-develop] Problem using axis with hermes

[Ronald v. K. <rv...@ab...>]

It seems that sun is not following the specs:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18050

SOAPHeader requires child elements to be of type SOAPHeaderElement.  If 
we do not change this, AXIS will never work (I think).

Seems required even, see above

Seems a good idea. Using the SOAPEnvelope to create a SOSOAPElement, 
like is done done now, caused us some trouble in our application... we 
use an elementFactory now

Depending on the instance type you mean? Doesn't this require a rewrite 
of a large part of ExtensionElementImpl?
Any tips? then I'll be willing to look into this

Other issues we ran into when moving van sun to axis:
- SOAPEnvelope.createName had some problems with namespaces (should look 
how we solved this)
- SOAPFactory.newInstance().createElement(....)   Now done with a 
elementFactory...(works in axis, not tested in sun)
- .....
