[WebServices] How to use the SoapServer component ?
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to use Axis in combination with Cocoon. I
already managed to parse SOAP messages with a higher-level approach
using Axis API's [1] but I still need to automate a few things.
I found a SoapServer interface [2] and a SoapServerImpl [3] class in
Cocoon API documentation, and I found out it was configured in
cocoon.xconf, making it available as an Avalon component but I still
can't figure out how to use it, especially as most of the
implementations I found use XSP and are a bit outdated (as [4] for
example).
I'm not quite sure of the use case I want to implement yet because I
need to know what is possible to achieve with that component first. So
I really could use any sample using that component to serve SOAP
requests through Cocoon. I already sent an e-mail to Marcus Crafter,
the author of that class but as could really use as much experience as
possible because I only have a few days to figure out a solution to
that problem.
I sincerely thank you for any help in advance.
Best regards.

See samples in the axis block, in the org.apache.cocoon.webservices package and
under (like System.java).

I have not used the axis block, but from a short look at it, it seem
like it mainly embeds Axis as a Cocoon component. So you should probably
read the Axis users guide to learn the basic concepts
(http://ws.apache.org/axis/). The actual implementation is in
o.a.c.components.axis package with a Avalon wrapper in the provider sub
package. The it is used from the AxisRPCReader. In the o.a.c.webservices
you have an example of some Avalon based services, that are used from
the samples. The only use of XSP in the example is for a _client_ that
calls the SOAP server. But the actual server doesn't use XSP at all. It
is just the reader and the SOAP server component and the aactual
services that you implement and descibe in WSDD, and point to in the
configuration file.

Hello Sebastien
Ok. Got your point. Trying to get into this case I asked myself: How can
I contact the running server through my client?
In the samples/blocks/axis demo I get the status page with the active
services.
But how do I contact them from my client just to test if it works? It
seems I don`t find the correct URL.
Regards,
Dennis

Well... I could do that, I could copy the Axis servlet and configure
my webapp to route *.jws requests to it but the thing is that I don't
want to use Axis alone. I'm trying to combine Axis for connectivity
(my client is mobile so the best solution to connect to the service is
via JSR 172 WSA) with Cocoon for multi-channel capabilities. What I'm
trying to achieve is that I want to intercept the WebService response
at some point to inject it into a few pipelines and then reinsert the
result into a SOAP message before to send it back. You see ?

Don`t you just deploy your JWS Files and call them via URL?
Axis autogenerates your WSDL when using *.jws Files.
Or did I get your problem wrong?

I know it's possible. I made it manually too and for one or two
webservices it would be OK. But one of the main purposes of my
application is make webservices intergration easier so I don't want to
write custom things for every service I integrate, all the more so as
all the information is available for automated processing in WSDL and
WSDD files. For example I realized that the code in the sample on the
wiki was wrong, but I realized it only when the client stub generated
from the WSDL file didn't work because the response message didn't
match its description.
So of course I can just find out what's wrong with the response
message and correct my code but it's just formatting ! I mean for
every new service I'd have to fine-tune the code manually which is
very error-prone. And that's precisely why I want to use everything at
my disposal to focus on what really matters. And SoapServerImpl
component seems to be a potential answer to my problem, which is why
I'm looking for examples of use, especially with flowscript instead of
the "old" XSP...

Hi,
If that SoapServer is used for [4], than it is actually not a Server but a Client. I am using
StreamGenerator to receive SOAP messages and use CIncludeTransformer to translate them to (more or
less) internal calls on uri's with request params etc. The result is simply wrapped in a response
envelop. Worked okay for me.. ;-)
Cheers,
Geert
