Multiple classes
Hi There
I am an Axis newbie, trying to design a web service API for a
server product. When using the Axis2 Code Generator plugin, I
find it extremely easy to generate a web service using a single
class, but I am baffled as to how to construct an entire API with
multiple classes. Since my API is large, I'd like to group
functions into multiple classes. In other words, assuming I have:
public class WebService() {
public static void execA1(String a) {..}
public static void execA2(String a) {..}
public static void execB1(String a) {..}
public static void execB2(String a) {..}
}
I'd like to have:
public class WebService() {
public static A getA() { return new A(): }
public static B getB() { return new B(); }
}
public class A() {
public void execA1(String a) {..}
public void execA2(String a) {..}
}
public class B() {
public void execB1(String a) {..}
public void execB2(String a) {..}
}
Obviously, the above does not work, unless execB1,etc. are
getters and setters.
How do I code it such that the Axis client code can access
different classes and call "static" methods on those objects.
Bear in mind that I'd like to have one login session across all
classes.
My sincere apologies if this is obvious.
Thanks in advance
Jamie

do you invoke Test2 using test2Stub?
in that case the cookie information may not send with the second request.
you can confirm this by sending messages from a tcpmon[1].
if it is the case try this[2] you need to manually copy the cookie details
as given there.
this[3] may also help you to understand how Axis2 handle scopes.
Regarding using multiple classes you have no option other than publishing
every class as a separate service.
thanks,
Amila.

Thanks for your suggestions regarding multiple classes. I've decided to

private void newSession() throws AxisFault {

Re: Multiple classes

The docs do say that you can create Web services sessions and
share them across Web services, but they are vague on how exactly
you do this. I am not sure how a simple requirement to split up
an API into logical parts, results in a lengthy indepth technical
exploration of poorly documented Axis antics. Perhaps, I am going
down the wrong path?

Re: Multiple classes
Posted by Vincent FINET <vf...@sqli.com>.
first advice leave the 'static' notion.
this do not give you a lot.
in the following example, you will have a single static instance (singleton)
of your WebService.
I would do :
public class WebService() {
private A a;
private B b;
public WebService() {
this.a = new A();
this.b = new B();
}
public void execA1(String a) {this.a.execA1(a);}
public void execA2(String a) {this.a.execA2(a);}
public void execB1(String a) {this.b.execB1(a);}
public void execB2(String a) {this.b.execB2(a);}
}
public class A() {
public void execA1(String a) {..}
public void execA2(String a) {..}
}
public class B() {
public void execB1(String a) {..}
public void execB2(String a) {..}
}

Your approach is pretty much like a "remote object instance" approach (like
CORBA for instance).
Web service are slightly different.
In your example, you ask your server to give you an instance of class A or B
(depending if you call getA or getB)
Since you got your instance of A or B, if you call a function (execA1,
execA2, execB1,

When you have this in mind, you might reorder your sequence.
