Axis2 Converting SOAP+XML into REST+JSON

[Mahesh kumar <mm...@gmail.com>]

I'm not sure whether I can send this mail to dev list. But I couldn't find
where I miss.

I have created axis2 webservice using SOAP+XML. Now my client want me to use
REST+JSON. I followed this article: http://www.marcusschiesser.de/?p=130

Calling
http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/Version/getVersion?response=application/json
from
browser is always returning
<ns:getVersionResponse xmlns:ns="http://axisversion.sample">
<ns:return>Hi - the Axis2 version is 1.6.0</ns:return>
</ns:getVersionResponse>

But I want the response in JSON format. I couldn't figureout what went
wrong. For more details I have attached axis2.xml.

I added system out in DynamicResponseHandler, and it never called.
public class DynamicResponseHandler extends AbstractHandler
{
  public Handler.InvocationResponse invoke(MessageContext messageContext)
    throws AxisFault
  {
    OperationContext operationContext =
messageContext.getOperationContext();
    if (operationContext != null) {
      MessageContext inMessageContext =
operationContext.getMessageContext("In");

      if (inMessageContext != null) {
        HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)inMessageContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST);
        if (request != null) {
          String responseFormat = request.getParameter("response");
          if (responseFormat != null) {
            Parameter parameter = getParameter(responseFormat);
            if (parameter != null)
              responseFormat = (String)parameter.getValue();

            messageContext.setProperty("messageType", responseFormat);

            System.out.println("Setting message type");
          }
        }
      }
    }
    return Handler.InvocationResponse.CONTINUE;
  }
}

I'm missing something. Please guide me to fix it
