21 * This is the interface for all writers. All writers, very simply, must
22 * support a write method.
23 * <p/>
24 * Writer and WriterFactory are part of the Writer framework. Folks who want
25 * to use the emitter to generate stuff from WSDL should do 3 things:
26 * 1. Write implementations of the Writer interface, one each for PortType,
27 * Binding, Service, and Type. These implementations generate the stuff
28 * for each of these WSDL types.
29 * 2. Write an implementation of the WriterFactory interface that returns
30 * instantiations of these Writer implementations as appropriate.
31 * 3. Implement a class with a main method (like Wsdl2java) that instantiates
32 * an emitter and passes it the WriterFactory implementation
