This is part of J2EE integration with composite app. The use case is: "... from a web application you can reference a bpel project that contains a wsdl file and then use that reference to create the java classes from the wsdl." "...this is a significant step forward for spring + Open ESB integration. You have shown that using spring when implementing a web app you can invoke any web service that is exposed on the NMR. This means that your web app using spring can invoke CICS, CORBA, DCOM, SAP, IMS, HL7, MSMQ, ... applications as web services. This makes the programming of composite applications that are built up of existing applications very straight forward. You have also show how you can invoke a rules engine (YASU), BPEL process, XSLT transformations, Event processing, ETL, ... from a web app implemented in spring all because of the integration of the Java EE Service Engine, JAX-WS, and the spring framework integrated into the web app project."
I entered this enhancement per Venkat request. From current state of the code, this enhancement would require web/project to depend on xml/catalogsupport module. This dependency is not possible with current cluster layout, with web/project in j2ee cluster which does not depend on xmltools cluster. Aside from this, the UI code of web project customizer also needs to change for code to show the catalog and to update the catalog and ant artifacts. Possibly the build extension mechanism could be used as part of the new standard.
