RE: Axis2-Spring integration

[Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>]

thanks to andre for this essential howto on spring integration!

 

i ran a quick test (using pojoguidespring/META-INF/services.xml) for WeatherSpringService (here is the descriptor)

 

  <service name="WeatherSpringService">
    <description>
      Weather Spring POJO Axis2 AAR deployment
    </description>
    <parameter name="ServiceClass" >sample.spring.service.WeatherSpringService</parameter>
    <parameter name="ServiceObjectSupplier" >org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringAppContextAwareObjectSupplier</parameter>
    <parameter name="SpringBeanName" >weatherSpringService</parameter>
...

 </service>

 

package org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers;

public class SpringServletContextObjectSupplier implements ServiceObjectSupplier {

   public static final String SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME = "SpringBeanName";

    public Object getServiceObject(AxisService axisService) throws AxisFault {
        try {
            // Name of spring aware bean to be injected, taken from services.xml
            // via 'SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME ' . The Bean and its properties are pre-configured
            // as normally done in a spring type of way and subsequently loaded by Spring.
            // Axis2 just assumes that the bean is configured and is in the classloader.
            Parameter implBeanParam = axisService.getParameter(SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME);
            String beanName = ((String)implBeanParam.getValue()).trim();
            if (beanName != null) {
                Parameter servletConfigParam = axisService.getAxisConfiguration()
                        .getParameter(HTTPConstants.HTTP_SERVLETCONFIG);

                if (servletConfigParam == null) {
                    throw new Exception("Axis2 Can't find ServletConfigParameter");
                }


org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringServletContextObjectSupplier getServiceObject method gacks looking for 

transport.http.servletConfig


any ideas to supply this transport.http.servletConfig parameter are/will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin Gainty

RE: Axis2-Spring integration

[Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>]

thanks to andre for this essential howto on spring integration!

 

i ran a quick test (using pojoguidespring/META-INF/services.xml) for WeatherSpringService (here is the descriptor)

 

  <service name="WeatherSpringService">
    <description>
      Weather Spring POJO Axis2 AAR deployment
    </description>
    <parameter name="ServiceClass" >sample.spring.service.WeatherSpringService</parameter>
    <parameter name="ServiceObjectSupplier" >org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringAppContextAwareObjectSupplier</parameter>
    <parameter name="SpringBeanName" >weatherSpringService</parameter>
...

 </service>

 

package org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers;

public class SpringServletContextObjectSupplier implements ServiceObjectSupplier {

   public static final String SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME = "SpringBeanName";

    public Object getServiceObject(AxisService axisService) throws AxisFault {
        try {
            // Name of spring aware bean to be injected, taken from services.xml
            // via 'SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME ' . The Bean and its properties are pre-configured
            // as normally done in a spring type of way and subsequently loaded by Spring.
            // Axis2 just assumes that the bean is configured and is in the classloader.
            Parameter implBeanParam = axisService.getParameter(SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME);
            String beanName = ((String)implBeanParam.getValue()).trim();
            if (beanName != null) {
                Parameter servletConfigParam = axisService.getAxisConfiguration()
                        .getParameter(HTTPConstants.HTTP_SERVLETCONFIG);

                if (servletConfigParam == null) {
                    throw new Exception("Axis2 Can't find ServletConfigParameter");
                }


org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringServletContextObjectSupplier getServiceObject method gacks looking for 

transport.http.servletConfig


any ideas to supply this transport.http.servletConfig parameter are/will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: Axis2-Spring integration

[Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>]

thanks to andre for this essential howto on spring integration!

 

i ran a quick test (using pojoguidespring/META-INF/services.xml) for WeatherSpringService (here is the descriptor)

 

  <service name="WeatherSpringService">
    <description>
      Weather Spring POJO Axis2 AAR deployment
    </description>
    <parameter name="ServiceClass" >sample.spring.service.WeatherSpringService</parameter>
    <parameter name="ServiceObjectSupplier" >org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringAppContextAwareObjectSupplier</parameter>
    <parameter name="SpringBeanName" >weatherSpringService</parameter>
...

 </service>

 

package org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers;

public class SpringServletContextObjectSupplier implements ServiceObjectSupplier {

   public static final String SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME = "SpringBeanName";

    public Object getServiceObject(AxisService axisService) throws AxisFault {
        try {
            // Name of spring aware bean to be injected, taken from services.xml
            // via 'SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME ' . The Bean and its properties are pre-configured
            // as normally done in a spring type of way and subsequently loaded by Spring.
            // Axis2 just assumes that the bean is configured and is in the classloader.
            Parameter implBeanParam = axisService.getParameter(SERVICE_SPRING_BEANNAME);
            String beanName = ((String)implBeanParam.getValue()).trim();
            if (beanName != null) {
                Parameter servletConfigParam = axisService.getAxisConfiguration()
                        .getParameter(HTTPConstants.HTTP_SERVLETCONFIG);

                if (servletConfigParam == null) {
                    throw new Exception("Axis2 Can't find ServletConfigParameter");
                }


org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringServletContextObjectSupplier getServiceObject method gacks looking for 

transport.http.servletConfig


any ideas to supply this transport.http.servletConfig parameter are/will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin Gainty

As I wrote in my blog post, I personally prefer to have everything
inside Spring. However, I agree with Sagara that some people may
prefer to keep using the traditional axis2.xml file. From what I've
seen so far, it is fairly easy to support both approaches. If we can
give the user the option to choose between the two approaches while
still keeping the architecture simple, then we should not restrict
ourselves to a single option.

Just to be clear: standalone means scenarios that don't use a servlet
container, or at least that don't use the AxisServlet transport. This
may be a plain Java application that uses Spring, either with
SimpleHTTPServer or e.g. only the JMS transport. It may also be an
application that doesn't use any transport listener, but that is only
a Web service client. Or it may be an OSGi bundle implemented with
Spring...

Probably for everyone the priority of supporting this is different,
but again, if we can do it without making the architecture complex, we
should support it. As my PoC code shows, it is actually extremely easy
to support this. The only thing that is needed is to create and start
a ListenerManager in the application context.

 My question is why this is not important ?  Let me explain,  We have very
broad community one requirement can be very important to some one  while it
is not much important to some one else . I 'm highly involve with Spring
based development for last 3 years and this is a very important feature to
me, and I believe I'm not the only one with this requirement , Some people
move into different WS-stacks because lack of this feature. As you may know
one of the longstanding criticism about Axis2 it it's lack of Spring
support  [1] [2] [3] . As for now Axis2 is very matured project and there is
no large scale development happening, so if people are willing to implement
this feature it going to be a value added feature for Axis2 and get rid of
criticism about Axis2 Spring support .
Some of the framework developers facilitate to utilize their framework
features within the Spring context one of the good example out of the WS
stack is Castor/Spring integration [6], [7] that targeting spring
developers.

 Some frameworks are designed to be configured and work within the Spring
context through the bean definition file Apache Camel [8] and CXF [9] are
some of the examples. Some frameworks use a native approach to configure
and  assemble internal components , further some frameworks provide both of
these options as an example SCA spec defined as Java component
implementation[10] and Spring component implementation[11]. Axis2 use native
approach  but alternative spring based approach also a good addition to the
project.


I don't think Spring-WS is a replacement for Axis2 or CXF  [4] ,[5] if you
can spend some time with Spring-WS you will realize it.

 This what provide by the current axis2-spring module and this is a
different use case I don't have a problem about the usability of this use
case.

 +1 , this make it much clear.

As I wrote in my blog post, I personally prefer to have everything
inside Spring. However, I agree with Sagara that some people may
prefer to keep using the traditional axis2.xml file. From what I've
seen so far, it is fairly easy to support both approaches. If we can
give the user the option to choose between the two approaches while
still keeping the architecture simple, then we should not restrict
ourselves to a single option.

Just to be clear: standalone means scenarios that don't use a servlet
container, or at least that don't use the AxisServlet transport. This
may be a plain Java application that uses Spring, either with
SimpleHTTPServer or e.g. only the JMS transport. It may also be an
application that doesn't use any transport listener, but that is only
a Web service client. Or it may be an OSGi bundle implemented with
Spring...

Probably for everyone the priority of supporting this is different,
but again, if we can do it without making the architecture complex, we
should support it. As my PoC code shows, it is actually extremely easy
to support this. The only thing that is needed is to create and start
a ListenerManager in the application context.

As I wrote in my blog post, I personally prefer to have everything
inside Spring. However, I agree with Sagara that some people may
prefer to keep using the traditional axis2.xml file. From what I've
seen so far, it is fairly easy to support both approaches. If we can
give the user the option to choose between the two approaches while
still keeping the architecture simple, then we should not restrict
ourselves to a single option.

Just to be clear: standalone means scenarios that don't use a servlet
container, or at least that don't use the AxisServlet transport. This
may be a plain Java application that uses Spring, either with
SimpleHTTPServer or e.g. only the JMS transport. It may also be an
application that doesn't use any transport listener, but that is only
a Web service client. Or it may be an OSGi bundle implemented with
Spring...

Probably for everyone the priority of supporting this is different,
but again, if we can do it without making the architecture complex, we
should support it. As my PoC code shows, it is actually extremely easy
to support this. The only thing that is needed is to create and start
a ListenerManager in the application context.

 My question is why this is not important ?  Let me explain,  We have very
broad community one requirement can be very important to some one  while it
is not much important to some one else . I 'm highly involve with Spring
based development for last 3 years and this is a very important feature to
me, and I believe I'm not the only one with this requirement , Some people
move into different WS-stacks because lack of this feature. As you may know
one of the longstanding criticism about Axis2 it it's lack of Spring
support  [1] [2] [3] . As for now Axis2 is very matured project and there is
no large scale development happening, so if people are willing to implement
this feature it going to be a value added feature for Axis2 and get rid of
criticism about Axis2 Spring support .
Some of the framework developers facilitate to utilize their framework
features within the Spring context one of the good example out of the WS
stack is Castor/Spring integration [6], [7] that targeting spring
developers.

 Some frameworks are designed to be configured and work within the Spring
context through the bean definition file Apache Camel [8] and CXF [9] are
some of the examples. Some frameworks use a native approach to configure
and  assemble internal components , further some frameworks provide both of
these options as an example SCA spec defined as Java component
implementation[10] and Spring component implementation[11]. Axis2 use native
approach  but alternative spring based approach also a good addition to the
project.


I don't think Spring-WS is a replacement for Axis2 or CXF  [4] ,[5] if you
can spend some time with Spring-WS you will realize it.

As I wrote in my blog post, I personally prefer to have everything
inside Spring. However, I agree with Sagara that some people may
prefer to keep using the traditional axis2.xml file. From what I've
seen so far, it is fairly easy to support both approaches. If we can
give the user the option to choose between the two approaches while
still keeping the architecture simple, then we should not restrict
ourselves to a single option.

Just to be clear: standalone means scenarios that don't use a servlet
container, or at least that don't use the AxisServlet transport. This
may be a plain Java application that uses Spring, either with
SimpleHTTPServer or e.g. only the JMS transport. It may also be an
application that doesn't use any transport listener, but that is only
a Web service client. Or it may be an OSGi bundle implemented with
Spring...

Probably for everyone the priority of supporting this is different,
but again, if we can do it without making the architecture complex, we
should support it. As my PoC code shows, it is actually extremely easy
to support this. The only thing that is needed is to create and start
a ListenerManager in the application context.

 My question is why this is not important ?  Let me explain,  We have very
broad community one requirement can be very important to some one  while it
is not much important to some one else . I 'm highly involve with Spring
based development for last 3 years and this is a very important feature to
me, and I believe I'm not the only one with this requirement , Some people
move into different WS-stacks because lack of this feature. As you may know
one of the longstanding criticism about Axis2 it it's lack of Spring
support  [1] [2] [3] . As for now Axis2 is very matured project and there is
no large scale development happening, so if people are willing to implement
this feature it going to be a value added feature for Axis2 and get rid of
criticism about Axis2 Spring support .
Some of the framework developers facilitate to utilize their framework
features within the Spring context one of the good example out of the WS
stack is Castor/Spring integration [6], [7] that targeting spring
developers.

 Some frameworks are designed to be configured and work within the Spring
context through the bean definition file Apache Camel [8] and CXF [9] are
some of the examples. Some frameworks use a native approach to configure
and  assemble internal components , further some frameworks provide both of
these options as an example SCA spec defined as Java component
implementation[10] and Spring component implementation[11]. Axis2 use native
approach  but alternative spring based approach also a good addition to the
project.


I don't think Spring-WS is a replacement for Axis2 or CXF  [4] ,[5] if you
can spend some time with Spring-WS you will realize it.

 This what provide by the current axis2-spring module and this is a
different use case I don't have a problem about the usability of this use
case.

 +1 , this make it much clear.

Thanks Andreas for creating the wiki an initiating the this work.

Let me put my view and suggestion first before directly editing the wiki.

Here the term Axi2 is embeded inside the spring can be elaborated as Axis2
users spring beans initialised by the spring framework rather than
initialising itself. In otherwords it acks as another plugin[1] to spring
container.

 Why this is important? Indikas' question gives the answer. Spring beans
have all the features available with the spring container and additionally
webservice support.

We can do this by using existing axis2-spring support by using
org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receiversSpringServletContextObjectSupplier
but the configuration is done by using same axis2 xml files.

The proposed project let users to do that as spring configuration files as
well. But still transports, modules and all manged by Axis2 runtime.

So I suggest first paragraph should some thing like this.

The goal is to provide Spring integration for Axis2 in scenarios where Axis2
is embedded inside Spring (i.e. where the Axis2 runtime uses the spring
beans initialized by the Spring container) while keeping the configuration
also witin the spring beans. This is different from the scenario supported
by the existing axis2-spring module, which addresses the scenario of
implementing a service using Spring, while all the configurations are done
using axis2 xml files and initialize the spring beans by itself.


I am not still clear about the stanalone mode. If we assume that as letting
someone to start the simple axis2 server
with a spring bean support configuration (i.e configurations in axis2.xml
services.xml) this is not related to the orignal goal.

thanks,
Amila.

One can probably summarize it as follows: the framework would

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[Andreas Veithen <an...@gmail.com>]

In my blog post I noted the following as a prerequisite for any
Axis2-Spring integration (but I didn't add that yet to the Wiki page):
"Support for dependency injection and proxying for all user supplied
objects: services, handlers, modules, password callbacks, etc." Here
"proxying" meant AOP support. I think that this is supported almost
out of the box, but we will have to validate that. From discussions on
the CXF mailing lists, I now that sometimes there are interferences
between annotation processing and bytecode enhancers (which are used
by Spring AOP for interface less proxies).

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[Andreas Veithen <an...@gmail.com>]

In my blog post I noted the following as a prerequisite for any
Axis2-Spring integration (but I didn't add that yet to the Wiki page):
"Support for dependency injection and proxying for all user supplied
objects: services, handlers, modules, password callbacks, etc." Here
"proxying" meant AOP support. I think that this is supported almost
out of the box, but we will have to validate that. From discussions on
the CXF mailing lists, I now that sometimes there are interferences
between annotation processing and bytecode enhancers (which are used

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[indika kumara <in...@gmail.com>]

That means, I can expose a Spring bean as a Web service and make it
transactional using Spring AOP and transaction – same as *9.5.2. A first
example* in [1]. Then I can use axis2 WS-Security make the service secure.

Thanks

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[indika kumara <in...@gmail.com>]

That means, I can expose a Spring bean as a Web service and make it
transactional using Spring AOP and transaction – same as *9.5.2. A first
example* in [1]. Then I can use axis2 WS-Security make the service secure.

Thanks

One can probably summarize it as follows: the framework would
essentially be plumbing code that allows to leverage the Axis2
architecture, but that uses the Spring way of assembling an

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[indika kumara <in...@gmail.com>]

Please forgive me if I am asking an idiot question.  I do not have
good knowledge about spring..

I just want to get to know.

Does this spring integration support to obtain any qualities offered
by the Spring  (runtime system quality attributes , non runtime and
architectural quality attributes) ? .. Simply I want to know whether
after this integration, string’s support for transaction, cache,
security, etc. inherently received by axis2.

Will the new system support to leverage both Spring and Axis2 architectures?

Thanks

IBM uses Axis2 as the JAX-WS implementation in WebSphere 7 and they
seem to be actively contributing fixes back to the Axis2 codebase. So
the JAX-WS implementation should be very complete and stable.

IBM uses Axis2 as the JAX-WS implementation in WebSphere 7 and they
seem to be actively contributing fixes back to the Axis2 codebase. So
the JAX-WS implementation should be very complete and stable.

Re: Axis2-Spring integration

[indika kumara <in...@gmail.com>]

Please forgive me if I am asking an idiot question.  I do not have
good knowledge about spring..

I just want to get to know.

Does this spring integration support to obtain any qualities offered
by the Spring  (runtime system quality attributes , non runtime and
architectural quality attributes) ? .. Simply I want to know whether
after this integration, string’s support for transaction, cache,
security, etc. inherently received by axis2.

Will the new system support to leverage both Spring and Axis2 architectures?

Thanks

Thanks Andreas for creating the wiki an initiating the this work.

Let me put my view and suggestion first before directly editing the wiki.

Here the term Axi2 is embeded inside the spring can be elaborated as Axis2
users spring beans initialised by the spring framework rather than
initialising itself. In otherwords it acks as another plugin[1] to spring
container.

 Why this is important? Indikas' question gives the answer. Spring beans
have all the features available with the spring container and additionally
webservice support.

We can do this by using existing axis2-spring support by using
org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receiversSpringServletContextObjectSupplier
but the configuration is done by using same axis2 xml files.

The proposed project let users to do that as spring configuration files as
well. But still transports, modules and all manged by Axis2 runtime.

So I suggest first paragraph should some thing like this.

The goal is to provide Spring integration for Axis2 in scenarios where Axis2
is embedded inside Spring (i.e. where the Axis2 runtime uses the spring
beans initialized by the Spring container) while keeping the configuration
also witin the spring beans. This is different from the scenario supported
by the existing axis2-spring module, which addresses the scenario of
implementing a service using Spring, while all the configurations are done
using axis2 xml files and initialize the spring beans by itself.


I am not still clear about the stanalone mode. If we assume that as letting
someone to start the simple axis2 server
with a spring bean support configuration (i.e configurations in axis2.xml
services.xml) this is not related to the orignal goal.

thanks,
Amila.

have all the features available with the spring container and additionally
webservice support.

We can do this by using existing axis2-spring support by using
org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receiversSpringServletContextObjectSupplier
but the configuration is done by using same axis2 xml files.

The proposed project let users to do that as spring configuration files as
well. But still transports, modules and all manged by Axis2 runtime.

So I suggest first paragraph should some thing like this.

The goal is to provide Spring integration for Axis2 in scenarios where Axis2
is embedded inside Spring (i.e. where the Axis2 runtime uses the spring
beans initialized by the Spring container) while keeping the configuration
also witin the spring beans. This is different from the scenario supported
by the existing axis2-spring module, which addresses the scenario of
implementing a service using Spring, while all the configurations are done
using axis2 xml files and initialize the spring beans by itself.


I am not still clear about the stanalone mode. If we assume that as letting
someone to start the simple axis2 server
with a spring bean support configuration (i.e configurations in axis2.xml
services.xml) this is not related to the orignal goal.

thanks,
Amila.

So this thread mentions JAX-WS few times.

I am wondering how complete out JAX-WS support is

Good idea  . Some frameworks use Spring configuration to assemble and
configure their internal components some use their specific approaches,
Axis2 use  several descriptor files such as axis2.xml, service.xml and
module.xml  for this. projects like WSF/Spring , Axis2M trying to replace
those native descriptor based approach by spring context. So this can be
treated as different implementation, so creating a independent project under
Axis2 TLP also good idea.

Good idea  . Some frameworks use Spring configuration to assemble and
configure their internal components some use their specific approaches,
Axis2 use  several descriptor files such as axis2.xml, service.xml and
module.xml  for this. projects like WSF/Spring , Axis2M trying to replace
those native descriptor based approach by spring context. So this can be
treated as different implementation, so creating a independent project under
Axis2 TLP also good idea.

Good idea  . Some frameworks use Spring configuration to assemble and
configure their internal components some use their specific approaches,
Axis2 use  several descriptor files such as axis2.xml, service.xml and
module.xml  for this. projects like WSF/Spring , Axis2M trying to replace
those native descriptor based approach by spring context. So this can be
treated as different implementation, so creating a independent project under
Axis2 TLP also good idea.
