Disabling FastInfoset for Synapse endpoints

[Ra...@spb.de]

Hi,

I want to configure synapse as a FastInfoset-capable proxy for a number of 
existing services.
Some of them are based on SOAP stacks other than Axis2 and do not have the 
capability of FastInfoset.

Is there an easy way to configure synapse in a way that proxy services can 
be called using FastInfoset and endpoints get called using simple 
soap/xml?
This should include the backward direction; meaning that non-FI responses 
from the endpoints get translated into FI-responses to the client.

Thank you.

Greetings, Ralph.

Hi Ralph,

Whether the message is written to the wire as a FI or not is a functionality
of the message formatter so disabling the FI to the backend endpoint and
re-enabling the FI for the response to the client is theoretically possible
with Synapse, but I have never tried this.

To try this out, configure the axis2.xml to enable the FI as described in
this article [1] and then set the messageType property to
application/soap+fastinfoset or application/fastinfoset as appropriately
using the property mediator in the synapse configuration to enable FI and
change the messageType propety to the relevant message type of the backend
endpoint to disable FI for the backend requests.
