My patch never made it into CVS :(.
Though things have moved about quite a bit since then. So I've
recreated my patch again using the latest CVS HEAD...
If its easier I've attached the full modified version of the file...
Its a pretty trivial patch; if you try to dispatch to a dispatchPort
that's not been added/used before it double checks in the WSDL
context to see if its a known port and adds it for you - since it
knows all of the information required to add the port.
I'm assuming this is still a valid approach right? It seems silly for
the Service to parse the WSDL & know the bindingId and
endpointAddress of all the ports - then for a user to be able to
dispatch to a port, they have to re-parse the WSDL themselves to find
the bindingID and endpointAddress to then call addPort() so that the
createDispatch() method will actually work.
If so I'm quietly hopeful it can be committed soon so I don't have to
depend on a patched version of JAX-WS RI :)
