Calling bpel wf in ode
Hi all,
In my project we'll have a work flow execution module that can execute
different work flows defined in different work flow languages. This
module/service will take the input for the work flow, either the actual
representation of the work flow or maybe the address, if deployed as a web
service like BPEL in ode.
So my question is, is it possible to call a bpel work flow deployed with ODE
by other means then the wsdl interface, by some API where you give the
adress,name and input. If not does anyone know about a "easy" way to create
the soap messages on the fly that is needed to create a generic soap message
for calling a web service. I'v lookeed some in the org.apache.ode.axis2
package, but could not find anything useful.
Any tips or hits?
cheers, Håkon

Exactly. And as my example showed, you don't even need a SOAP envelope.
You just need an XML document. Axis2 will automatically wrap it in a SOAP
envelope if needed (via it 'REST' support)

Hi
Thanks for the replay, so my problem is really that to make a good method
for creating a valid soap message for any given web service operation on the
fly. So just wondered about that. Maybe using Pyhton or other interpreter
language is good.
cheers, Håkon

All processes deployed on Ode (via Axis2) are exposed through simple
XML/HTTP interface.
You can easily call web services and dynamically create XML message is just
a few lines of Java code...
// assuming Apache Commons httpclient 3.1
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*
...
...
PostMethod post = new PostMethod("
http://localhost:8080/ode/processes/HelloWorld");
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
post.setRequestBody("<Hello xmlns="http://example.com/HelloWorld
">hello!</Hello>");
int code = (new HttpClient()).executeMethod(post);
if (code == 200) {
System.out.println(post.getResponseBodyAsString)
} else {
System.err.println("Bad response code: "+code);
}
Armed with a good HTTP/REST library and a decent language (Groovy, Scala,
...) you can do a lot of damage with even fewer lines of code.
Big frameworks are optional.
