[sca-c-cpp] NEW ISSUE: Should C++ -> WSDL Roundtrip with WSDL -> C++

["David Haney" <haney@roguewave.com>]

Title: Should C++ -> WSDL Roundtrip with WSDL -> C++

 

Target:: C++ Client and Implementation Model

 

Description:

The current C++ C&I defines the conversion from WSDL to C++ according to the OMG specification, however it defines its own convention for converting from C++ to WSDL.  These conversion rules do not appear to be compatible, causing a WSDL -> C++ -> WSDL conversion to result in a different WSDL than the original input, or potentially to even produce C++ code that cannot be converted back into WSDL according the current rules.  The C&I should either clarify that these conversions are not possible, or the conversions should be made compatible.

 

Proposal(s):

1) Modify the current C++ -> WSDL specification to be compatible with the OMG specification

2) Abandon the OMG specification, and make the WSDL -> C++ mapping consistent with the current specification.

 

Thanks.

 

David.
