Achim Its better to think of the Axis2 support as POX (Plain Old XML) than REST. The services inside Axis2 don't currently have any concept of "entities" or resources, so the only way to do this would be to write your own service from XML up. You would need to use either the -d none databinding option or the RawXMLMessageReceiver to handle your own XML code.
Yes it would change the SOAP version too. There is quite a lot of thought going on in Axis2 about how to handle REST and map resources into Axis2 more widely. Can I suggest - since you obviously have some interesting ideas in this space - that you join axis-dev and kick off a thread there? There's also a thread over at wso2.org about defining a model for mapping SQL data stores into services which you might be interested in too. Paul On 5/11/07, Achim Abeling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I am trying out Axis2 with a REST service. It works well out of the box but the response does not have xlinks to included entities. E.g. I have a bean A which has a reference to bean B as a property. In my response I see the xml representation of bean A with a representation of bean B as a child. How can I make Axis2 generate responses where the reference to bean B is realized as an xlink like in <?xml version="1.0"?> <p:Parts xmlns:p="http://www.parts-depot.com"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <Part id="00345" xlink:href="http://www.parts-depot.com/parts/00345"/> <Part id="00346" xlink:href="http://www.parts-depot.com/parts/00346"/> <Part id="00347" xlink:href="http://www.parts-depot.com/parts/00347"/> <Part id="00348" xlink:href="http://www.parts-depot.com/parts/00348"/> </p:Parts> And if it is possible to generate such responses does the configuration affect my SOAP service which is running beside my REST service?
