<h3><a name="axis2"></a>JiBX in Axis2</h3>
<p>JiBX has been supported for use in the Axis2 web services framework since
Axis2 1.0. The basic information on using JiBX is included in the Axis2
download, but as the Axis2 documentation is going through continual changes the
information on JiBX can tend to get lost. This page is intended as a primary
source of information for anyone using JiBX with Axis2, including some of the
related JiBX tools which are not included in the Axis2 distribution.</p>
<p>One good source of information and examples is JiBX primary developer Dennis
Sosnoski's
<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-java3/">Axis2
Data Binding</a> article on IBM developerWorks. This article includes examples
demonstrating how to implement the same web service using Axis2's custom ADB
binding framework, JiBX, and XMLBeans. It also includes some discussion of the
strengths and weaknesses of the different approachs.</p>
<p>You need to update your Axis2 installation to make use of JiBX 1.2.x. The <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69358&package_id=313036">jibx-axis2</a>
distribution package provides the update to Axis2, in the form of a jar file replacing
one of the Axis2 jars and an Ant <i>build.xml</i> that handles the actual file copying
(including copying the appropriate jars from your JiBX installation into the Axis2
installation). Once you've done the updates, you should be able to use all features of
Axis2 with JiBX 1.2.x.</p>
<p>JiBX is especially well-suited to exposing existing Java code as a web service, using
the <a href="../fromcode/jibx2wsdl.html">Jibx2Wsdl</a> tool. Jibx2Wsdl is a far-superior alternative to
the Java2WSDL tool included in the Axis2 distribution. It includes support for Java 5
enumerations and typed collections, and also provides an extensive customization mechanism
that allows you to "tune" the schemas and WSDL generated from your Java code.</p>
<p>If you're instead developing a web service starting from WSDL you can still use JiBX,
but you need to do more work "manually" since the Axis2 WSDL2Java tool expects you to have
an existing binding and classes for JiBX. The <a href="../fromschema/codegen.html">CodeGen</a> tool can
generate the necessary bindings and classes for you, if you first extract the schema
definitions from your WSDL (since it currently only works with standalone schema definitions,
not schemas embedded inside WSDL). If your WSDL follows the "wrapped" style (where each
<wsdl:message> consists of a single schema element reference, and each of these elements
consists only of a sequence of child elements) you just need to generate the data structure
definitions used by the child elements, not the wrapper elements referenced from <wsdl:message>
definitions.</p>
<p>For a discussion of the issues involved in either starting from code or
starting from WSDL when developing a web service you can see Dennis Sosnoski's
<a href="http://www.infoq.com/articles/sosnoski-code-first">"Code First" Web
Services Reconsidered</a>.</p>
