Best practice to deal with external Content Type

, ,
1

Hi,

I have a service flow “mySrv” which is consuming an external service flow called “extSrv”.
One of the output document of extSrv contains some fields for which Content type is an Enumerate Type :

Example :

Field1 : Content type = CountryEnum {[url]http://country.service.extdomain.com/[/url]}
country1
country2
…

After having created my web service Descriptor and created the WSDL, I have my TargetNamespace like this : http://mysrv.service.business.mydomain.com/

Now, I’m realizing that the Namespace used for the external Enumerate type is not consistent with my TargetNamespace’s web service.
If I generate some Java classes from my WSDL (with CXF), I will obtain 2 different directories.

How would you deal with that ?
Would you keep the original namespace of the Enumerate Type, or would you re-create the enumerate type with another namespace (like http://country.commun.service.business.mydomain.com/) ?

I’d suggest that you separate the payload xml structure from WS interface.
in WS interface, you just have a few fields:
payloadxml
ID
etc.

the namespace of the payload won’t interfere with your WS interface. It’s also easier if case you want to update your payload structure, or send other xml types.
HTH,

Thanks a lot for your reply Tong,

Would you have some example, for me to be sure to understand ?
