Pattern: converting Java classes from pivot objects

I use an axis to automatically generate web service artifacts, and then I convert them into objects used in our application Is there a sensible model for doing so? We write transformation methods to output objects from objects created by axes. Sometimes we write a set of intermediate transformer classes to convert axis objects into application objects? Is there a common way to approach this?

Solution

If I understand it correctly, you want to use the axis WSDL 2 Java function to generate code from WSDL and then map it to the existing application object model In this case, you may need to consider using axis with jibx bindings
