Re: New CXF User question: Need a replacement for a PHP web service
I'm not entirely sure what you want to do -- are you after a SOAP or
REST service?
If SOAP, then there's a good tutorial here which covers Tomcat:
http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/date/20080417
I'm only a noob myself, but this is what got me started, and I still
refer back to it fairly often. Ignore the bits about Glassfish Metro,
and I found after starting with the Ant-based instructions that in the
end the Maven-based route worked more smoothly.
This tutorial covers specifying a WSDL first, then auto-generating the
Java classes from that, rather than the other way round. This is
probably what you want to do if you're designing a service to meet an
existing spec. Otherwise you'll end up tweaking bits of Java here and
there in the hope that the WSDL that comes out matches what your
existing clients expect -- and that'll just lead to tears. If you
really want to do Java-first there are other tutorials out there that
Google will lead you to.
If you're testing SOAP services, you absolutely want to get soapUI
(soapui.org), trying to do it manually with wget will just be painful.
If on the other hand you're after a REST service, then I'm afraid I
can't help you much, as I've never done that :-)
But {cxf rest tutorial} gets quite a few Google hits.
Good luck!
Andrew.

Hi Gabo
Thanks for this info, the only clarification is that 0.8 is now supported in 2.1.x branch (2.1.3), with the possibility of it
supporting 1.0 at a later stage, while 2.2-SNAPSHOT now supports 1.0-final (with few exceptions)
Cheers, Sergey

Hi Joseph,

If you are going to use java, tomcat and cxf for a ReST service. Then I
suggest reading up on the user's guide.
(http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-rs-jsr-311.html).
jsr311-api-0.8.jar contains all the annotations mentioned in that page.
I followed this page and am able to have a ReST service in a day or two.
For simple services, the following headers should suffice:
Resource class
@Path
HTTP Method
Dealing with Parameters
Sub-resource locators.
Configuring JAX-RS services in container with Spring configuration file. **
From the samples folder of the downloaded jar, its only difference is
that the service instances are configured/started programatically. The
section above which i marked with ** should help have the same service
deployed in tomcat.
To set-up the said services in tomcat, just create a folder in webapps.
have WEB-INF in that folder, and lib in the WEB-INF folder. Have the
web.xml and beans.xml in the WEB-INF directory; and the needed jars in
the lib including your service.
Hth.

Why don't you start by getting to the point where you have a .war file
for a REST-ful service, based on the samples, that works in jetty?
Then drop that into Tomcat and tell us what doesn't work.

Thanks. I have looked at that, but it raises some questions:
1. Where do I put the @WebService annotations? I started in the
interface, but this has them on the implementation, too.
2. This sets a "targetNameSpace" attribute in the annotation for the
interface
@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://customer.acme.com")
public interface CustomerService {
I tried that, too, but with no visible difference.

RE: New CXF User question: Need a replacement for a PHP web service
Posted by Joseph Fair <JF...@envysion.com>.
Sorry to be unclear. I'm trying to set up a REST service. Since the
original is just very simple, I'd like to keep the message format
similar.
I went back and tried another third time and realized that I was
probably creating a soap service the third time. Armed with that
knowledge I went back and tried the user guide again.
I got a simple Get method to work. However, the response still looks
SOAPy.
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><sayHi
Response xmlns="http://service.videocopy.nakika.envysion.com/"><return>a
HA!</return></sayHiResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
The web page that fronts these services makes it look like there is a
namespace involved that is the implementation package name.
Target namespace: http://impl.service.videocopy.nakika.envysion.com/
But cxf still does not recognize the name space.
wget --post-data="<mess
xmlns='http://impl.service.videocopy.nakika.envysion.com/'
>asdfasdfasdf</mess>"
http://localhost/video-copy-agent/services/DummyServiceAddress/getEcho
-O -
Oct 28, 2008 4:33:18 PM org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain
doIntercept
INFO: Interceptor has thrown exception, unwinding now
org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault:
"http://impl.service.videocopy.nakika.envysion.com/", the namespace on
the "mess" element, is not a valid SOAP version.
at
org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.ReadHeadersInterceptor.handleMes
sage(ReadHeadersInterceptor.java:94)
So my question now is:
What can I use for a valid soap version?
