Found in M5. 1. Create a Web module, Web1, in project Project1. 2. Create a Java class, e.g. org.example.Hello 3. Select Hello class, and execute the comment Web Services -> Create Web Service (just deploy it). 4. Select the generated WSDL, Hello.wsdl, and execute the command Web Services -> Generate Client. Generate code to Web1 and DO NOT check the "Overwrite files without warning" check box. 5. The wizard overwrites the original Hello class with the client proxy.
Assigning to Chris for his review.
There are two problems, fixes for neither of which can be contained safely in WTP 0.7. 1. First, overwrite is not respected by the Axis emitter. The cheesy explanation is that the Axis emitter runs in its own JRE and is not beholden to our Eclipsey overwrite preference. I have a solution in mind for this as part of another, largely unrelated enhancement intended for WTP 1.0. 2. Second, even if overwrite did its job, there is no warning to the user that the files generated for a Web service client will usually collide with the files that already exist for a generated Web service, and that for runtimes like Axis and WebSphere the two simply cannot coexist peacefully in the same project. We have the means to check for and warn users against the generation of clients into the same projects hosting their services, but have some work to do to adapt it for use with Axis-deployed services and clients. For WTP 0.7, we will make do with a warning in New & Noteworthy (unless there is a more appropriate place to list limitations).
As fixes go, this is larger than the average bear. Retargetting to M10.
This fix part 1 of the problem (overwrite not observed) by using a tempoary directory in the plugin's state location for the Axis emitter and copying to the actual location after the emitter is called. Changes have been committed and released as v20051130_1254.
Kathy, thanks very much. I've opened bug 118623 for the second issue described in comment 2. PS: I think your tag should have been v20051130_0054 instead of v20051130_1254 - and a good reason NOT to be working on bugs so late!
In RC5, I got a nice error message that prevented the overwrite: IWAB0164E Cannot create the file "Hello.java" relative to the path "/test2/src/org/demo" because automatic file overwriting has not been enabled. Do you want to enable it for this file? Verifying.
Closing.
