Creating intermediary XSLT service.
Good afternoon ServiceMix users.
After 3 months of persistence, I finally got a web service functioning
in a ServiceMix container.
What I have is an HTTP BC that forwards requests from outside the NMR to
a JSR-181 SE. The JSR-181 SE implements an OS call using the string
supplied in the received SOAP message as the command. As those who have
been observant up to this point can see, this is very dangerous. It is
not recommended one expose such a web service on a production machine
for the possibility of damage to the host that could result.
What I would like to do is to use this SE to run specific commands that
I write in XSLT, and run using an XSLT SE. I'm not quite sure how to do
this, and would appreciate help on the following matters:
1. I have the HTTP BC and JSR-181 SE. I appear to need the XSLT SE. Can
anyone tell me what other service units I might need?
2. How do I get these service units to talk to each other?
I believe, that in the Java Business Integration spec v 1.0, my JBI
instance is going to look something like that given in section 4.9.1,
except that it will be a request-response MEP. Can anyone please help me
draw light over my solution in respect of this example?
Thank you for your considered replies,
Owen.

Owen,
This information clarifies the question very well, but I don't know how
the answer. As far as I know, you can only use the XSL-T SE to
translate XML in a unidirectional way (e.g. the incoming request into
your 'filtered' XML message format). You could also do the same thing
for the responses, but you still need something to tie both of them
together, I assume... Perhaps someone else can help us out with this one?

Hi again Gert.
Sure, I'm simply translating information between one XML and another.
This is because I don't want the user to have direct access to my
JSR-181 SE. I want the XSLT SE to transform a document with a specific
structure to an OS command, and I want the result of the command's
execution to be translated into another document with a specific
structure.
Does that information help you answer my original questions any better?
Owen.

Owen,
I'm a bit confused about exactly what you will be trying to do with the
XSLT SE. Anyway, ServiceMix already has an out-of-the-box XSLT
component (servicemix-saxon) that you can use for data transformation
(XSL-T) and XQuery. Doesn't this one suit your needs?
