Calling external webservice

[Sivaramakrishnan Ganesh <Si...@infosys.com>]

Hi,
I am using Servicemix v 3.3.1. All I need to do is access a webservice hosted in tomcat via the servicemix ESB.
I need to do this without writing a single line of code for the ESB, i.e. with xbean.xmls of existing JBIs.
I did this:
1)            Created a servicemix-http consumer to accept soap requests via the client.html (present in a tutorial).
2)            Created a servicemix-cxf-bc provider to the webservice hosted elsewhere.

The idea is http+soap message-> http-consumer BC->NMR->cxf-bc provider->Mywebservice (in elsewhere).
Is this flow correct? Also please find below the contents of XML, I keep getting errors, kindly help, and forgive dumb mistakes!

Warning: I am very new to servicemix! Relatively new to ESB concepts! Don't ask me why I am here! Please welcome me with open hands :)

HTTP-CONSUMER-XBEAN:
<beans xmlns:http="http://servicemix.apache.org/http/1.0" xmlns:tns="http://server.fromjava/">
  <http:endpoint
                service="tns:externalService"
                endpoint="soap"
                targetService="tns:AddNumbersImplService"
                targetEndpoint="AddNumbersImplService"
                role="consumer"
                locationURI="http://0.0.0.0:8192/externalService/"
                defaultMep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out"
                soap="true" />
  </beans>

CXF-BC-PROVIDER-XBEAN:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans xmlns:cxfbc="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0" xmlns:tns="http://server.fromjava/">
  <cxfbc:provider
   wsdl="classpath:addnumbers.wsdl"
   locationURI="http://localhost:8080/jaxws-fromjava/addnumbers/"
   service="tns:AddNumbersImplService"
   endpoint="AddNumbersImplService" />
</beans>


Thanks

Hi,

yes your workflow is correct.

Just a tip, I advise to use "new" HTTP endpoint :
<http:soap-consumer service="" endpoint="" targetService="" 
targetEndpoint="" locationURI=""/>
