Support intermediaries (SOAP actor) by axis2

[Erwin Reinhoud <Er...@ictu.nl>]

 Hello All,

What is current support in Axis2 for intermediaries and the application
of the SOAP actor? A while back i was told it is not possible yet to
have intermediars and assign (ws-security/ws-addressing) headers to an
intermediary and leaving the body and possible other headers to the next
hop. Or is this supported by synapse? Is this scenario often applied,
because i cant find much about it (anybody have references)?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

Axis2 can act as a client and/or a server, the two endpoints in a message
exchange, without any problem. Axis2 has all the capabilities to work as an
intermediary also, but it just that you have to do some amount of work to
get it working the way you want.

Synapse is all about mediation and meant to be act as an intermediary. So
Synapse had done the above mentioned part already. I always think Axis2 as
the client/ultimate receiver vs Synapse as the intermediary for a good
application.

Intermediaries are somewhat common these days. For example, a company might
decided to get all the messages to one node and then route to different
internal hosts, applying some policies. Or even might wanna log all the
messages. There are lots of samples like this.

You can certainly do this with Synapse. Please take a look at
