RE: [uddi-spec] Use of the final attribute in the UDDI V3 Schemas

["John Colgrave" <colgrave@hursley.ibm.com>]

Max,

Support for the final attribute is not mandatory in the JAX-RPC 1.1
Specification and the Standard Implementation (what used to be called a
Reference Implementation) maps anything that includes the final attribute to
the catch-all SOAPElement, which means that every operation in UDDI has a
return type of SOAPElement and an argument of SOAPElement, which is not very
useful.

Removing the final attribute removes one of the obstacles to getting a
useful Java mapping from the UDDI WSDL/Schema, and I was wondering if a
better approach would be to remove all uses of final from the normative
schemas and replace them with uses of finalDefault on the various schema
elements, hoping that the tools will not look at the schema element itself,
or at least will happily ignore a finalDefault attribute if they find one.
