Axis2 REST client with non-Axis2 Server implementation
Hi,
I need to develop a REST client application that consumes a REST based web service written in some non-Axis2 framework like Apache Slign or Jersey. As far as I can think, this should not be possible as from what I've read from online docs is that Axis2 treats a REST request internally as a SOAP message. If the server side is also Axis2, then it would understand this and handle it gracefully but a non-Axis2 framework should not understand it as a valid REST call and therefore should fail.
Can someone suggest or atleast provide some pointers?

Yashwant,
I checked it out but it is written assuming Axis2 both on the client as well as server. Online docs clearly suggest that Axis2 will convert the outgoing request from client to SOAP. On the server if the implementation is axis2, it'll know the semantics but other framework like jersey won't.
I created a PoC to see if it works but I'm not successful as of now. I'm still digging through.

Amit,
While I have not tried that personally the docs seem to suggest that it is possible. See the example under your AXIS2_HOME/samples/userguide/src/clients/RESTClient.java
It does something like this – do let us know if this works for you.
publicstatic voidmain(String[] args)throws AxisFault {
Options options = new Options();
options.setTo(new EndpointReference(toEpr));
options.setTransportInProtocol(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTP);
options.setProperty(Constants.Configuration.ENABLE_REST, Constants.VALUE_TRUE);
ServiceClient sender = new ServiceClient();
sender.engageModule(Constants.MODULE_ADDRESSING);
sender.setOptions(options);
OMElement result = sender.sendReceive(getPayload());
try{
XMLStreamWriter writer = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(System.out);
result.serialize(writer);
writer.flush();

Yashwant,
Thanks for the response. May be I did not put it clearly enough. First let me disclose that in my case, SOAP is out of picture as I'm only talking about REST support. Imagine there is a REST web service written using Jersey and I want to consume that REST web service using Axis2 client. This means that there is no Axis2 on the server side but only the client side is Axis2. I have my doubts about the feasibility of this client written using Axis2 been able to invoke the Jersey REST service correctly.
Anyone having different view???

Your question is not clear. Are you telling that it is not possible to write a client using Axis2 to consume a service written in non-Axis2 framework?
Anyway if all you are interested in is to find out if it is possible to have one web service written in Axis2 and invoke the very same implementation either as a SOAP call (web service invocation) or ReST call – then be assured that it is definitely possible.
