Fwd: [AXIS2] catch all SOAP requests for SOAP-CORBA-bridge

[Christian Galbavy <sl...@gmx.at>]

Hi,

I want to change axis2 to catch all SOAP calls, get the service name and method name and all params as java types and invoke corba calls with them.
I described it in the message below and got the answer from Ajith Ranabahu.

So I have taken a look at the axis source code and the Synapse project.
I only want to implement this SOAP-Corba-Bridge for SOAP body calls, so no SOAPActions. As I can figure out by now, I have two options:

.) Take the axis2 source and change the approbriate handlers and dispatchers:
I think I would change the SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher, especially the findService and findOperation methods.
Then I had a look at the different MessageReceivers and there at the invokeBusinessLogic methods. I could not figure out which special Receiver would be called through a normal SOAP body message (service-name, method-name and params in SOAP body). And I also think there will be problems with the getTheImplementationObject-method.
So I would need a dummy-service for each SOAP call with a dummy operation for returns for the Dispatcher-Class. But I do not know which consequences this would have for the MessageReceivers and the parsing of the params.
Can you give me some tips?

.) The other option would be to use Synapse. I had a short look at the project but could not really figure out how it is working. As I can figure out so far I would have to write a Mediator to make my Corba calls from there. Can somybody explain the functionality of the Mediators to me. When the server receives a SOAP message, I do not want axis to look for the service but give the service name, the method name and the params in Javatypes to my interface, which invokes my Corba method. The CORBA method looks for the approbriate corba object and its method, maps the Javatypes to Corba types and finds the return type, invokes the call, gets the return value, maps the type back into a Javatype. Then the return value should be returnes by a SOAP response.
Can you give me some help, if this functionality is possible with a Mediator, and how I can start an implementation.

Sorry for the cross posting to two mail groups and thanks for all your help.

Regards
Christian
