Non-blocking SOAP feature was also contributed by @hoff2 from Banno.

Klout

Scoozie: Creating Big Data Workflows at Klout

Additionally, we would like to provide a shout-out to a great open-source project, scalaxb, an sbt plugin that takes .xsd files and creates matching Scala case classes. Scoozie populates these case classes, which are then automatically converted to XML by scalaxb. This plugin saved a lot of headache in the actual process of conversion to XML.

Novus

Dispatch forms the foundation of an in-house SOAP client at Novus together with scalaxb. Thanks to these tools our standard response to “Can you do SOAP?” is “Bring it on!” instead of “Ew, what’s this on my shoe?!”

VMWare vCloud

Using Salat with scalaxb generated classes:

scalaxb generates Scala case classes from XSDs and generates supporting helpers for going back and forth from case class to XML. Salat provides an interface to MongoDB based on case classes.

There are a couple hurdles, but both project owners have taken our suggestions seriously, and have smoothed out quite a few bumps.

other enhancements

• Fixes Windows filename and path handling for the CompilerMatcher. #307 by @joescii

compiler warnings

The code generated by scalaxb 1.4.0 should no longer generate compiler warnings.

• Adds SIP-18 imports to the generated code. #294 by @carl297r
• Removes "adapting argument list" and other compiler warnings from the generetad code. #321 by @liff
• Removes compiler warnings from the scalaxb code. #335 by @justjoheinz

breaking changes

• Dropping SOAP RPC/encoded support.
• Makes SOAP faultactor a String. #268 by @rubbish
• Generates >22 case classes by default. #280
• Generates attributes field to handle all attributes. #286

SOAP changes

• Fixes the handling of message parts involving headers. #285 by @plaflamme
• Fixes nillable fault support. #284
• Makes http instances lazy. #279 by @rubbish
• Implements toString methods for faults. #278

case class >22 and attributes change

Starting scalaxb 1.3.0, the generated code will be >22 by default. In addition, all attributes will be handled via attributes field.

To bring back the older behavior:

contentsSizeLimit in (Compile, scalaxb) := 20

namedAttributes in (Compile, scalaxb) := true

Related, 1.3.0 fixes attribute's default value handling #288.

Thanks to YourKit for supporting scalaxb! YourKit Java Profiler works great for profiling Scala applications.

Starting scalaxb 1.2.0 it supports Scala 2.11.x. Since Scala 2.11 modularizes XML and parser combinators, it requires additional setup on your part. Here's using sbt 0.13's multi-project build.sbt syntax:

import ScalaxbKeys._
 
lazy val scalaXml = "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-xml" % "1.0.2"
lazy val scalaParser = "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-parser-combinators" % "1.0.1"
lazy val dispatchV = "0.11.2" // change this to appropriate dispatch version
lazy val dispatch = "net.databinder.dispatch" %% "dispatch-core" % dispatchV
 
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).

This is a bug fix release focused on fixing the SOAP code generation. See using SOAP for more details.

SOAP bug fixes

• Fixes xs:AnyType handling. #265
• Fixes asFault not Throwable error. #264 reported by @romainreuillon
• Fixes the generated code for multipart SOAP message. #267 reported by @tomhaigh
• Fixes the definition of HttpClientsAsync to use concurrent.Future. #269 reported by @hedefalk
• Adds --blocking command line option to generate blocking SOAP client.

minor enhancements

• Masks scalaxb package that's used internally to generate code.

non-blocking SOAP

scalaxb 1.2.0 generates non-blocking SOAP code by default. Instead of Either[X, A], the SOAP call returns Future[A] and the fault, if any, is thrown as Future's failure semantics.

// default
def getQuote(symbol: Option[String]): Future[stockquote.GetQuoteResponse]
 
// async in (Compile, scalaxb) := false
def getQuote(symbol: Option[String]): Either[scalaxb.Fault[Any], stockquote.GetQuoteResponse]

This feature was contributed by @jlavallee and @hoff2 as #213/#259. See using soap for more details.

breaking change to commandline

scalaxb cli used -p and --package to specify both the default package name and namespace-specific package names. scalaxb 1.1.1 uses -p and --default-package for the default package; and --package for namespace-specific package names.

bug fixes and minor enhancements

• Avoids type names that only differs in case. #215 reported by @drdozer
• Fixes handling of xs:all with minOccurs=0 and nillable. #216 reported by @minettiandrea
