calls on the Java side, to match this added convenience we introduced to the
ActionScript side some time ago.
Before arms are raised into the air and waved like they really do care, bear
the following in mind:
Nothing will change at all on your project until you take some action to do so.
That action could include any of the following:
1. Continue to use narya-tools-1.2 to run genservice and you'll get the old
style "pass a Client reference for every service method invocation" marshallers
and you can continue to live happily in the past.
2. Leave some of your stuff un-regenerated, but generate new stuff using the
new tools and use the Client-reference-free style for new services. This is
likely to engender some PITA if you're trying to use both styles in the same
project because genservice just wants to operate on everything, but I offer it
as an option in case some other PITA motivates the tolerance of this
(presumably smaller) PITA.
3. Embrace the brave new world of simplicity and wield your good friend sed for
fun and profit:
(make necessary build.xml updates to start using narya-tools-1.4-SNAPSHOT)
% find src -name '*Service.java' | xargs sed -i 's:Client client, ::g'
(this will remove the Client argument from most of your services, some manual
fixes may be needed)
% ant genservice
% find src -name '*.java' | xargs sed -i 's:_ctx.getClient(), ::g'
(this will fix most of the places that pass a client reference into an
invocation service, some manual fixes will probably be needed)
I did this on Vilya and it magically took care of like 95% of the places where
changes were needed. The remaining half dozen changes were painless. Clearly
something like Yohoho vastly dwarfs Vilya in scope, but someone looking for an
hour or two of mindless typing to distract them on a lazy Sunday afternoon
would likely breeze through even that vast codebase without breaking a sweat.
Two more notes:
1. I'm going to switch Narya and Vilya over to the new style, and I'll be
fixing all the projects that use their services.
2. I lied (a teeny bit) about nothing changing. I made the old Client-taking
sendRequest methods deprecated, so projects that don't switch to the new style
will be presented with a large number of deprecation warnings. If this is too
terrible a burden to bear, I can remove the deprecation annotations on those
methods.
