WSIFInterceptor

Grepping the WSIF 2.0 source reveals no methods that take WSIFInterceptor arguments.  Hence I speculate that these cannot be established in any invocation.  Is it true that WSIFInterceptors are a future feature that cannot be used yet?  Has something changed in this regard since the 2.0 release?

Also, I cannot find any nightly builds of WSIF since September 2003.  Is WSIF moribund or is there a glitch in the automatic build process?

Thanks. 

I think I know the reason why. It's totally not related to 
WSIF. I was running a different program that is not running 
well. Thanks again.

hi leo,

i do not think there is anything special in WSIF and if there is error 
it would be WSIF provider specific (like AXIS).

what is the error you get? did you try to google it?

WSIF Stubs question

Posted by leo <le...@sd-net.co.jp>.
hi!

I am using WSIF in accessing a web service. The process is a 
24-hour service. There is a constant access to the web service.
We are on a long-run testing but, my program could not access the
service after around 10 to 15 hours. I am just wondering if I need to
close the connection to the service just like on database connections.
If yes, how? Do I just have to set the WSIF service object to NULL or
there is some other way that I should do?

Hoping for your help.

Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that the interfaces is used in the IBM Web Services 
Gateway product (which I think is part of WebSphere 5.0 Network 
Deployment edition). I submitted a patch to the developers list a while 
back which allowed people to write a custom WSIFServiceFactory. I used 
this to write a set of wrappers that break out into an interception 
framework. Unfortunately, the wrappers and framework itself were 
written at work, so I can't give them to you directly. I can provide 
some hints, however.

This patch has not been incorporated into the codebase yet, but I'm 
more than happy to send it to you if you'd like to apply it manually.

that is correct but see below on intended usage.

unfortunately there is no more work done on interceptors.  i think they 
are (were?) actually used in IBM WebSphere but they are configured by 
using WebSphere proprietary hooks to install interceptors.

so for now the only functionality that 
WSIFInterceptor/WSIFInterceptorConfig provides is to standardize 
interceptor interface and its configuration.

after website was reorganized i think it never got setup back to work. 
it seems that axis has exactly the same problem (as you found out)
http://ws.apache.org/axis/interim.html
http://cvs.apache.org/dist/axis/nightly/
 
you can get recent CVS snapshots but i guess it is into what you want.
http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/ws-wsif/

i will look and check if i can get some nightly build going back again.

did you try to build WSIF from CVS. it is quite straightforward and 
should be well documented?

thanks,

alek
