Description

In setter methods of the various types generated by the wsdl2c tool, I would like to see a const classifier on the inputs, especially in the case when the input is of type axis2_char_t.

For example, for a LoginType I have a username which I can set. In the current version of the tool, the following prototype is generated:

axis2_status_t AXIS2_CALL
adb_LoginType_set_username(
adb_LoginType_t* _LoginType,
const axutil_env_t *env,
axis2_char_t* arg_username);

What would be better, however, is the following:

axis2_status_t AXIS2_CALL
adb_LoginType_set_username(
adb_LoginType_t* _LoginType,
const axutil_env_t *env,
const axis2_char_t* arg_username);

I generated the client stub with the following options on the wsdl2c tool: -uri myWSDL.wsdl -d adb -u

Thanks for all the help and time in advance.

Cheers,
Frank
