Hi All,
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Just an FYI. Over the weekend I wrote an AvalonProvider class for
Axis, which essentially allows you to publish your Avalon Components as
Axis based SOAP web services.
The provider source is currently available in Axis Bugzilla, #12903.
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12903).
Here's an example Axis deployment descriptor showing how an
Avalon based service can be published:
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/";
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";>
<service name="Excalibur-Store" provider="java:Avalon">
<parameter name="role" value="org.apache.excalibur.store.Store/TRANSIENT_STORE"/>
<parameter name="className" value="org.apache.excalibur.store.Store"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="clear size"/>
</service>
</deployment>
The parameters 'role' and 'allowedMethods' specify the Avalon ROLE to
lookup inside the ComponentManager, and the methods that are
allowed to be invoked on that component.
That's all you need to do, those methods can then be invoked by a
SOAP client - Axis will lookup the component, call the method and
send any results back to the client as a SOAP response automatically.
Releasing of the component back to the component manager is done
depending on the scope of the webservice (which can be of request,
session, or application type).
Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know - perhaps it's of use for
someone else other than me :)
Cheers,
Marcus
